What? You mean you planned? Planned? Don't be ridiculous. That smacks of responsibility. We just can't have that sort of thing.

After an all-nighter, I slept at the yard.

Ben Carson doesn't know the difference between an Egyptian pyramid and a grain elevator.

Insulate the van as if you are gonna live in it, because, well, you know. An Espar heater installed is roughly $1500. You can pay less, you can pay more, but that's a good ballpark. An aux battery, cables, battery isolator, maybe an inverter needs to be figured into that. Pretty in Illinois...

Pay lots are kind of a cash grab, because the market will bear it. The places where there are more trucks than spots, that's where you'll find pay lots. Most of the truck stops in South Florida, the east coast, and in the major cities of California. The Pilot in Laredo used to be a pay lot...

I'm pretty sure that's not at all the message I was conveying. But I could be wrong.

Congress prepares to ban ‘pay for patriotism’ promos at sporting events Roger Goodell: NFL will refund money received for ‘paid patriotism’ Defense Department Paid 5.4 million

Incidentally, I am deeply offended, deeply, I tell you, about the Daytona Turtugas and their mascot, Shelldon. 'Tuga Power!

That's an easy one. It needs to change because a very small percentage of people find it offensive, or at least they say they do (as a means of exerting power just to exert power). A few years ago Sport Illustrated, along with the Pew Research Center, did a poll of Native Americans, and found...

I can't speak to what they are currently doing, but I know for a fact that they did that while I was there. They also, on several occasions, booked a straight truck, which picked up the load, and then swapped the load out to a Sprinter. Every time they did that with me, I asked for, and got...

Mike Ivall's "art" looks like a gay rooster.

It's been a problem since at least 2006. I've been gone from them for 4 years, so I don't know what it's like now, but I imagine it's the same, more or less. They know it's a problem. They even created a rewards system of Olympic-style medals, Gold, Silver and Bronze, and if you achieved Gold...

I've done a few of the harness electrical connections, but I've done all of the bulb connections with Deoxit D100 contact cleaner, and then a light coating of DeoxIT Shield protectant. It's all that AND a bag o' chips. It's kind of expensive, but a teeny tiny bit goes a really long way. The D...

Yes, beginning in 1995,but only in Europe. They didn't hit North America until 2001.

That's a 63 amp refrigeration unit, designed to be running off the vehicle's battery and 125 amp (minimum) alternator, or off plugged-in household current when the engine is not running. A 100 Ah battery could run that thing for perhaps 20 minutes. Maybe.

Actually, yeah. Skirting in the euphemism for "willfully and intentionally" ignoring the US Code of Federal Regulations, which adds, in effect, premeditation to simple medical card and log book violations, and is the difference between a few hundred dollar fine and a few tens of thousands...

Once they hit 10,001 pounds it's a different ballgame. More than Sprinters and the various Sprinter-wannabes, it's those cute little cube vans that are likely to be cited for skirting DOT regulations if they are overweight.

Were not talking "always," were talking "expediting in a cargo van," and if you are expediting in a cargo van and you weigh more than 10,000 pounds, regardless of what your GVWR is, you need to log and scale and have a medical card.

The load rating of the tires is also a factor in the vehicle's GVWR. 2WD, 4WD, same tires. It's part of the reason why a dually has a greater GVWR.
