    How bad is it?

    Hey Greg, Speaking of Global Warming: Remember less than ten years ago all of the scientific community was talking about Global COOLING and how we were headed for another ice age?

    Would you?

    In a van, maybe, but in a truck, no way. That's just me. For a truck, you might ask for at least $150.00 bonus. Of course, if that was your only run this week, then you might as well run it. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the...
