Thanks, but I'm feeling pretty good.:D

Don't have the cement pond or the bubblin crude, but I did have the possum. Let the Lab out last night and a few minutes later I see him parading proudly around the yard with something in his mouth. Turned out to be a dead possum. He didn't kill it, it was already cold. The possum couldn't...

QC and Fleetvision should be able to cover it. A fleet message on the QC for policy changes, although fleet messages don't show up on my Fleetvision screen. Also, there is a "Notes" section when load offers are sent to the trucks that could take any deals or messages regarding the load and who...

Like John, I don't know what happened to cause this slow period. I suspect it is a combination of things including Japan and the rising fuel costs. Whatever the reasons, it is clear that it has become a shipper's market where there are more trucks than loads. I knew, without John having to...

It may be just the engine being a "pig" on gas like you say, but I would try the injector cleaner just to see if it made a difference. If it doesn't, I'd try 3/4 tank of regular unleaded combined with a 1/4 tank of the middle grade to bring up the octane rating. My 5.9 always got better mileage...

Chef, is it new? Maybe a slightly heavy foot?? Aerodynamics? Sounds like an injector is not spraying properly or dribbling into the cylinder. I'd dump an injector cleaner in the fuel just to see if it made a difference. Can't hurt.

Sounds like they went downhill really fast since I was there last.:(

Know right where you're at RK. My daughter used to live in Danville. I'd park there and she'd come over and pick me up. That TA isn't too bad for an old one. Used the shop twice and service was good. Breakfast buffet is good. Lots of locals patronize it which usually means the food is...

Anything is generally possible when you CARE enough to get it done. Gotta love this place.:D

No problem. I'll have an Canadian/SD to Ohio dictionary, visual aids if that doesn't work, and as a last resort I'll get John to translate. I know you understand Michigan.:rolleyes:

I'll remember that the next time I see you. When I tell you to pay for lunch you'll understand me since I'll be talking about "CASH":D

I seem to remember that you said Ohioans talked funny. Or do you make an exception when they are talking "Cents":D

He can get six skids in that thing???:eek: Full size ones?

Amen back at ya RK!!!:D My straights have been moving slower as well, but no worries, as my Australian buddy would say.:) I would have done the same thing you did with that load. Jeremy always comes through. I've received a bunch of PM's and phone calls since I've been home from folks...

Ken, I couldn't have said it any better than that. I'll see that flag soon.:D

We have the disaster in Japan creating shortages in auto parts, electronic products, and so on. Higher fuel prices for no good reason other than greed, and shippers that are looking for cheap rates. I'd rather have my sprinters sit longer rather than take cheap freight. Load 1 doesn't go...

I use the silicone because it flexes better than the roof chalk and doesn't crack or shrink.

Now that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!!!! However, I don't think this guy will be getting rusty any time soon. He's one of the premier neurosurgeons here, and he has his own surgical suite. I think his hesitation stemmed from the fact that he didn't know the actual cause of the...

Dare I say that the pink would go well with that certain article of clothing......:eek:

Have had seams open in several spots over the years. It appears to be a common fault on the 2006's. The spot welds weren't strong enough to handle the body flex. Or so I was told by a body shop. Get a tube of clear silicone, clean the spot real well and fill the seam with the silicone. It...
