    People think Obama is bad, bad, bad. Be careful what you wish for.

    If you want to keep your CDL, yes, you'll need to renew the medical card. Can't have a CDL without a medical card.

    They will answer NO, and be lying while they say it.

    Debunking the Myths on Hours of Service

    Just look at the sleep apnea and sleep study deal. It took a law out of Congress to put the reigns on the that one. The FMCSA cited study after study that supported what they wanted to do, but every single study was provided by the same sleep doctors that are a part of the push to get sleep...

    Sprinter Wikipedia Entry

    Well, the new engines are heavier, and so is the engine mount frame, but the long, tall 07 has a GVRW of 8550 and a Curb Weight of 5271, with a max Payload of 3597. Options, accessories and other assorted accouterments will affect the actual load capacity, of course.

    Sprinter Wikipedia Entry

    Not me. I ran across that entry a few years ago and found it amusing. That section has been edited for clarity and errors a few times by <YurikBot>, <Hkeaton>, and a few others from the <talk> discussions, but I have a feeling that the original entry was made by someone new to expediting who had...

    Debunking the Myths on Hours of Service

    Self-serving propaganda crafted to make the FMCSA look like choir boys. The "carefully consider" phrase is a joke. They don't carefully consider comments that are contrary to what they want to do. They've been caught dismissing studies that don't support their proposed rule change while...

    Need more mechanical advice, Sprinter losing power

    In addition to Wayne, I'd call Andy Bittenbinder. He's getting ready to move to, or already has moved to North Carolina, Greenville-Spartanburg I think. 412-366-6165 [email protected]

    Acceptable home time

    Read Cheri's post a few times and let it sink in. You have a wife that wants you home a lot, and a job that requires the exact opposite. One or the other will eventually win that tug of war. Are you prepared to turn down a really good load because it takes you to South Carolina instead of...

    Goodbye FedEx (again)

    Yep. Spot on. No one leveled pom pom charges against anyone because they were successful, they did so because of the snooty and snotty superior attitudes of the cheerleaders themselves. The cheerleaders thought they were all that and a bag o' chips, superior to every other expediter, simply...

    Hey "y'all" it's October

    Sunday night I got to go to air cargo. But not just any air cargo. Oh, no, no, no! It was Lufthansa air cargo at Chicago's beautiful O'Hare International Airport air cargo. I hate air cargo. I may have mentioned that in the past. I get the paperwork e-mailed to me from dispatch, complete...

    Interesting Developement

    Requiring her to show up and prove who she is seems a little much. All she has to do is stop paying her dues. That should be proof enough that she's quit.

    Hey "y'all" it's October

    From the J off I-45 in Houston, take a right and head south along the frontage road for not even half a mile (second right, I think) and on the right you'l find the National Museum of Funeral History. It's gnarly. They have a surprising number of vehicles of all kinds, including the Pope Mobile...

    Removing road dirt from vinyl

    There's a concentrated all-purpose cleaner at Dollar General called, believe it or not, Totally Awesome. They use it at RV shops to do exactly what you want to do. Mostly just spray it on, hose it off. A little scrubbing if necessary.
