They have been building these in Europe for a while, since 1964 but the latest version is the 2000 platform. I drove a couple they have (had) here for testing and liked it a little better than the sprinter. They had diesel engines and five speeds but I heard that they will have gassers in...

Bryan, I see your point but my point is exactly what you said; "That is the problem with HOS rules they don't take into account how each person is different.They use cookie cutter rules." Regulations are not made to take in account any individual, they are to be applied uniformaly across the...

For the people who have reefers, especally with seperate tanks, the system is exposed to colder temps than the main engine and fuel tanks. Being up on the top for most of our units, the temps are colder due to a direct exposure to the wind. I would suggest extra fuel filters and maybe a...

Ford is lost with their domestic vehicle line and their efforts seems to be really lost - now changing the name of the 500 to tarrus is the latest news. I point to the fact that Ford was built on a single car with an agressive leader, something that they now need. GM on the other hand has...

I have for a long time felt that NASA is a money pit and they employee people who don’t really do much. This latest cr*p with the love triangle and assault that took place makes me wonder what is going on in NASA and why are we not seeing any improvements with the organization? Is this the...

Tallcal, Yes it is true, the people who attacked us on 9/11 were mostly Saudi’s and many of us who know don’t lump all Muslims into the group of being terrorist. But we also have been attacked by Palestinians, by Iranians and by people from a lot of other countries. Seeing that Palestine...

...with the Muslim takeover of France? I know that this may be old news for many but I never thought about Brigitte Bardot being an advocate and outspoken about French culture like this. I would think that she would be like a lot of other European actresses and be very left of center but what...

UN Climate Summary Designed to Dupe, Critics Say By Kevin Mooney CNSNews.com Staff Writer February 02, 2007 (CNSNews.com) - Scientific evidence for human-induced global warming will receive a significant boost Friday when the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) releases the...

After reading this, I think I made a lot of mistakes and need to sell my trucks. Good for you Florida, nice peice but I think you forgot the basic business and economic premise of Opportunity Cost - giving up one thing to get another thing. I find that many people think that they are owed for...

I highly respect the UK, I love the culture that seemed to have been and I am not trying to insult any Brit reading this, but what in God's name is going on there? I read this article; British bookstore to set up Potter helpline for distressed fans - AP qoute; "This could be a similar...

Bryan, OK now take your system and try back to back 700 Mile runs. It is not realistic to drive 1400 plus miles without proper rest.

who is that van driving for over there? OH there is something on the side of the door, let's get closer to see who it is. a little closer.... a little closer...... a little closer.................. Van driver - "Mister.... why are you looking at my door with a huge magnifying glass... all...

Turtle, I see where you are coming from but I see this as a shared responsibility between management, safety and dispatch. The dispatcher does indeed dispatch but should watch out for the safety of the public and the drivers and the liabilities to the company. I think that the system is rather...

Dumb questions and a statement; If the initial run was given at 1300 and the delivery was at 0730, why is the run plsn for over 11 hours anyway? Shouldn't there be a split regaurdless in the run just because it is over 11 hours? Shouldn't the driver have the option to split the load on his...

Broom you said;'Hey Tcall see I do have some Liberal thoughts.....' Don't fall for the liberal trap of us against them thing that they like to use when talking about taxes. I don't really care what Bill Gates pays in income tax becuase it don't matter to me or my family. What matters is...

Fastrod, I just don't agree. The driver does not even come close to becoming an employee if they don't offer you any thing. What becomes a problem when talking about employement is the fact that the dispatcher tells you to take the run or else. Also being an independent contractor has nothing...

I am so d*mn glad I am not being paid by the mile. 650 in 11 hours? OK? Has anyone thought that this is estimated miles, not actual miles. with the addition to the pick up and possibly getting on and off the freeway (just grasping a straws there) the actual miles may be more of less. I...

Actually Leo, this is the second time I have heard this from a driver of the same company. This is not a HOS thing but a failure in company managment/policy and shows that don't have properly trained people in the dispatcher's seat. I think that the dispatcher should have known better, and...

RE: FS-2500 bypass filter from Filtration Solution John, the idea of any additional filtration is a good idea but it does not replace a good oil analysis. I really don't know much about the FS-2500, can't see what is patentable about it but it may not be a bad thing to install. I used to use...
