You are exactly right, Layoutshooter.This is only the tip of the iceburg.And going around the scales wont avoid being pulled, either.The local/state patrols are often notified when a scale house is open in their jurisdiction so they can look for trucks going around the scales as well.DOT road...

This ridiculous law and so many others are just one of the many reasons why I bought a cargo van.Eventually they will be monitored as well, I'm sure.

I have an easier and cheaper solution:Just dont run Canada.

Thanks for the info,I will do just that very shortly.

Okay, this YMCA thing- do I need to dress as one of the villiage people upon entering, with the song ymca playing in the background? Sorry, I just couldnt resist.lol.

I am really surprised that no one else has shared what they are thankful for.There are alot more people far more worse off than we are right now.Even though we are not getting rich out here,at least we have a roof over our head of some kind.Has anyone noticed how many tent cities are popping up...

The problem I used to have when I ran my straight truck was that it has a 400 gallon capacity for fuel. So obviously I did'nt fill up too often. But I am one of those people who believes in taking a shower everyday, no matter how hot the freight is.Now I guess I'll be paying for showers.I...

If it is true, or does happen, there will be alot of drivers out of work.

This is the first negative thing I have heard about expeditor services.Sounds like driver attitude error to me.I'm just sayin'

Go out of the Detroiter and go east on West rd.There is a Meijer on the left,as well as so much other retail.I have never had a problem there staying overnight. And it is quiet.

I did that once, for about 3 years, then I got my balls nailed to the walls by a Ohio state trooper for doing it. I walked away with 7 tickets for 7 different violations regarding that.

It wouldnt surprise me.A fleet owner freind of mine has not gotten paid in quite awile.I heard through the grapevine that the big star was going to buy them out.Who knows anymore,nothing would surprise me.

I might as well stay home for the weekend now.Just called and going to have a bunch of mulch delivered for the gardens,and build a 20-ft workbench in the garage. The van is all waxed up and ready to go, full of fuel.But I am not holding my breath, either.Oh yea, I'll give mouth to mouth cpr to a...

I'm not too sure about gas engines, but in a diesel it was always good to idle the engine at a little bit above normal rpm's to keep the oil circulating to the top of the engine, and to avoid cylinder wash.Volve engines are engineered so a person does not have to raise rpm's like this.

Yea, I've lost 20# since being at home.It's bad when I look forward to being on the road so I can relax.The way I look at it, is the more a person eats, the more their stomach stretches. The more it stretches,the more it takes to give a person that full feeling.Besides, I want to get in the...

Whats with all the empty miles? Look at the difference between empty and loaded miles.HUGE DIFFERENCE.In '09 there were 8,359 empty miles.In '08 there were 13,049 empty miles.No wonder the average for all miles is so low.

The portable crapper is the one thing I will miss the most going from a s/t to a van.But then I guess I could just drive closer to the entrance door now, also.

Still at the house, going on week 5.Went into service this morning,if I dont get something by tomarrow, then I'll stay home til tuesday.

What I meant by "hot" was current going through them.But I appreciate and understand what you are saying, and it makes sense.I will do it the way you suggested next time. I also had a sleeper with the same wiring issues.Holes drilled into the steel,and a wire going through the hole, not...

When I was there at that J, I would park facing the sand hill, and watch the prarie dogs.It kept me entertained for awile, anyway.
