    Another Fuel Savings Device?

    Dave, After I posted this, I did some looking around and found about 10 companies that offer some sort of Hydrogen generation device. I read a couple things on how hydrogen helps the combustion process much like propane does. There were statments made that there is a mileage increase from 8% to...

    Another Fuel Savings Device?

    Hydrogen, the saviour of the world? I ran across this last week and was going to stop in at their office when I was in Canada but didn't get the chance. I am wondering if anyone heard of this, saw one or has one. http://www.hy-drive.com

    Express-1

    Hey Greg, I would highly recommend you contacting Scott aka X1_SRH, he is pretty honest about Express-1 and he was the only one that would tell me honest numbers when I started.

    Sorry, I forgot to say that is for a straight truck and not a solid written qoute. I am not chasing qoutes but just trying to figure this out.

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    Phil, You’re funny but you need to come back to reality. You don’t offer any value until you are truly independent and build a customer base yourself; you are working for a company that decides what value you add to their customer when they sell that service and you fulfill the...

    Camping Expediter Style

    I am wondering which camp grounds accept trucks? The last time I was camping, three out of the four camp grounds did not allow trucks - one was a state park. The one that did allow them put them in the worst spot to prevent people complaining about 'havein a stinkin truck' near their bluebird RV.

    AC

    It depends. My vans took 2 lbs, the truck takes 3 lbs but my former 65 vette took 4 lbs for some reason. I would get one of those inexpensive low side gauge and use that to determine the charge, I think $15 for the entire unit with Freon. you may have a problem with the O-Tube - which I have to...

    Oil Companies

    I do agree with Tallcal on the redwood forest issue, We must preserve some of it but don't agree with the habitat stuff people always scream about. I look at my area, once a thriving area with businesses and people but thanks to the city of detroit and the state we have a lot of land that has...

    Another Authority Question

    I am looking for comments and thoughts about a conversation I had with a T/T driver yesterday. I met this really nice couple yesterday who drives for Pride. They were asking me about FedEx and Expediting in general. The conversation turned to his idea of getting an authority and insurance to...

    Sleepers - What am I missing ?

    Flux I was going to do this but decided against it. there are two reasons why; 1 - can not carry hazmat - legally yes (maybe) but safely no. 2 - I worked with a box company to figure out the bulk head and yes we came up with a doable plan but the cost was high to do it right.

    Enough with Panther Bashing...

    Maybe I am looking at things differently, Phil I think that you need to reevaluate your statement. I mean that you are in competition with anyone out there that hauls freight, this is reality the nature of business to have people seek out better relationships with vendors who can provide a...

    Hard drive questions

    I would ask the question to the sales man why the dual drive. I have had several that had dual drives but they never came out of the box like that. With 80 and 120 Gig drives, it would make more sense to use one drive. Beside that the power consumption will be a lot higher. The other thing is...

    I support Israel attacks on Gaza and Lebanon

    x06col I disagree, they are not slow but rather listen to others like religious leaders when making decisions. There is a lot of propaganda going on from both religious and political leaders to motivate these people to use Women and Children as shields - they all know what is going on because...
