    engine life??

    The cube vans we use at work usually are still running after 250K but the transmission usually fails for the second or third time and they get rid of the truck. The engines run fairly smooth and doesn't usually use more than a a quart every five thousand miles. I'm sure they could go till 500K...

    When will the bottom come?

    I just wish my retirement accounts wouldn't drop anymore. I've lost 50 percent of what I had in them. I can't lose much more. I've actually considered taking the penalty and taking the money I have left in them.

    Backing takes a while to get used to. You have to two pedal it one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. You have to keep giving it gas while braking to your desired backing speed. If you don't do this it basically goes into neutral every time you let up on the gas. No gliding is...

    WIfe an baby

    I hope the 6 month old doesn't drive :eek::eek: Seriously though, look for a local job driving for a courier or air freight forwarder, depending on the size city you live in or near. You won't get rich, but you will get home everynight. Sounds like most expeditors aren't doing to well now...

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I guess it depends on the state. In California I believe you need a class B to drive an airbrakes truck. At least that was how it was back in '88 In Indiana you just need a Chauffeurs license. Which allows you to drive a truck under 26001. I think you need a Class B to drive a school bus...

    Fare thee well, Paul Harvey

    His Son actually wrote "The Rest Of The Story" segment for him. Occasionally his son would fill in had the same sort of pauses and read the ads the same way Paul Harvey did. Although his voice was different, I wouldn't be suprised if he will be asked to take over for his Dad. So I'll have to...

    Cargo Vans Again

    Having personally owned a Chevy van with the 6.5 diesel, I probably would not buy another Chevy diesel. Maybe the Duramax is better but I personally think the Ford 7.3 is a better engine.

    I'm the one that suggested the EO merchandise. As I am passing by trucks I'm always wondering if they are an EO member. We need a small sticker for the side window and maybe another for the back of the truck. Also, a hat or T-shirt might be fun when going into truck stops etc. From the...

    Is it offensive

    Anyone who thinks your avatar is offensive needs to grow a set. I am sick and tired of all the PC crap. If owning and using guns makes you happy, more power to ya!!! As for the comment about your pants being undone. The avatar is small so maybe they didn't see all the guns :D and all those...
