    Truckers Expect Record High Fuel Costs - Forbes.com

    I have been sick for a week and not really up to date on prices but I had to go to the doctor yesterday and I had to buy fuel to get there. FFFFFFFFour ninteen a gallon. Now I'm Scotch and tighter than bark on a tree. Can you imagine the emotions going through me while pumping fuel at that...

    Favorite stretch of road

    My favorites are the WV turnpike, I70 Between Denver and Grand Junction CO, and US2 between St Ignace and Manistique MI. I remember having a flat tire on US2 and it didn't even bother me. I just sat there and looked at the lake for a while, then changed the tire.

    gone boating

    Yup ...You got it. That's the Alabama. I'm feeling a lot better today and I'm trying to decide if I want to go back on the board at $4.00 a gallon or sit home and whine about it ........TJ

    Who is Coming to the Mid-America Trucking Show?

    I'll be there and it will be a first for me. My older brother has been after me for years to take him to a trucking show and this looks like the year to do it. See you there.

    gone boating

    Had a long weekend and got bored so I thought I'd do a little touristing. Where was I??? Caught the flu while I was there so I guess I'll be home for a while.

    Sprinter vs. Cargo Van

    Looks like a nose to me too. Buying a Sprinter will not cure you of being a klutz. I still find ways to bang my head, knees, elbows, and anyting else that hurts. It's time to add more padding and carpet to my Sprinter as soon as it warms up a little. I have already added more padding to...

    Tyt Index

    How about if you are hung up in a place like Fargo ND like I was last week. The temp was 31 below zero. Wouldn't that hinder the ability to twidle? Would the use of mittens restrict the twiddle factor? Frozen feet could certainly restrict toe twidling. It's all so confusing and complicated. I...

    Deep thoughts

    Speaking of potty boxs, When I was a kid I dreamed I got up in the middle of the night and took a leak in my toy box. When I got up in the morning all my toys were wet. Boy that sure dampened my spirits. True story. ..............Properly dispose of those bottles guys.

    Good repair facility in MI?

    I guess not. Now if you were in western Michigan I could help you. When I had my FL70 I would take it to an independent repair facility in Holland MI. My old confused mind fails me in sturring up the name but it is located near the old Holland truck stop at M40 and I196/31. There are some used...

    Seen it all ????

    Cheri, I am jealous beyond words. I'm a ship and boat fanatic and I would kill for the opportunity to deliver to a ship anywhere.

    Seen it all ????

    I thought I had seen or done it all but I was wrong. I picked up a load in El Paso TX and took it to a ranch near Cliff NM. Dispatch said the drop may be a little hard to find so I had my wife google the name of the business to get some clues. This place was on a fairly well graded private...

    Bad News

    Sorry to hear about your father in law but it sounds as if he has what he needs, Loving friends and family. Cancer is not a death sentence. We have been living with it in our family for 22 years and counting. I'll be praying for him.

    Webasto Heaters

    I have one in my Sprinter and it has been trouble free. The dealer that installed it led me to believe that it needs no service. I've had it for two years and no problems yet but I guess I'd better get it serviced soon. Thanks for the info.

    Lemon Sprintr

    I have had my Sprinter for more than 2 years and 240,000+ miles. There have been a few problems and minor irritations but it has been a good vehicle. You can have a bad experience with any make. I'll have to admit, I waited until 2005 to buy a Sprinter in the hope that they got all the bugs out...
