    Wiper control on the M2

    Usually what causes it is when the contacts wear down on the turn signal. To fix, take off the turn signal switch and clean. When I say switch, I am referring to the whole turn signal arm. The switch contacts are in the end where it connects to the steering column. Then put the dielectric...

    Virtual Truck Stops

    In the same breath for council members, they need to get rid of this check in/checkout and 30 mile radius business. I have yet to hear why there would be any benefit to this. Unless I am missing something, it does nothing but create excessive deadhead, kills the solo operators because of...

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    I can't say they are illegals. Just what I read was predominantly Mexican drivers.

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    That is actually true. They are also going to be giving money to the Mexican truckers that work at the ports in CA. Why? Because they don't have the money. Originally this was to be paid by the state, but they are now broke. Looks like it may be another federal program.

    I wonder if he is still expediting? I haven't talked to him in a year. I agree, he had some great ideas and applications in that van he had.

    The greatest gage for this is what one continuouly does when no one is watching.

    Where's that Republican pride?

    I'm not too sure on a Romney/Palin ticket, but he was the only one with any business sense. He was the only one that beat a constant drum on demanding GM go bankrupt. Surprise, we have Obama who finally woke up after spending billions. Bush wasn't any better. He threw money at it to just buy...

    Are speed cameras better than speed limiters?

    Not sure on the speed cameras, but these types of cameras were banned last month in Mississippi. There report determined that they cause more accidents and were used just as a source of revenue for local municipalities.

    Virtual Truck Stops

    At this point, we are taking a wait and see approach as well. The biggest point would be the excessive DH that likely won't materialize. Which will make the whole thing useless. As mentioned before, if we unload in Louisville or Cincinnati, we have no interest in going to Lexington, only to...

    you think barrys new healthcare system works for you

    The likely debate will be whether they tax people directly for it, or hide the tax in carb, soda, liquor, airline, current cigarette taxes and the like. And that is just the latest ones I have heard to pay for this. The other debate of course will be that it is Bush's fault that everyone doesn't...

    Truck has be castrated

    I am kind of in the middle on it. Sometimes I can see were something should stay company specific to keep from mudding the waters. It also eliminated some inaccurate information that may be posted from someone not from that carrier. Many times we have no clue who someone drives for. Maybe a...

    Truck has be castrated

    Some could be just as easily moved. Case in point. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/fedex-custom-critical/36754-speed-limiter-experience-direct-canada.html Don't really see a reason to leave that carrier specific. Just my opinion, and just looking at the very first thread.

    Truck has be castrated

    Might be worth a chat that if a topic is not carrier specific, it should be moved to the appropriate forum. That would seem to eliminate the "golden". Just received a message a few days ago about this. What say you?

    Just reading this thread explains why a lot of nothing ever gets done by the government.
