    Truck Stop Restaurants

    I sense a sub-par waitress who complains about the base wage when a good waitress couldn't care less what her hourly wage is, and complains about the occasional low tipper or stiff that ain't all that occasional in her case.

    As someone who managed restaurants for 16 years, I'll reserve my comments for later. ;)

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    The EEOC of late has certainly been a little rambunctious, but it's hardly new stuff. Look up the 1980 case against Sears. They were out of control then, and they really haven't gotten much better since. They have twisted the Civil Rights Act to apply to everything from hurt feelings to...

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    Hey! I didn't even do anything! I'm just trying to get Hoss into trouble. :D If you have to. But not voluntarily. Same here. Naaaa. You'd only get banned for violating the Code of Conduct, or becoming more trouble than you're worth, or for not giving Mods a 20 percent discount on tires.

    4-Wheeling Snap-Loc Loc-Link : 4-Wheeling

    Nifty. FYI, they do make lashing straps for looping. Originally designed for lashing logs together, it's a strap and a ratchet, but with no E-Track fitting. One end of the strap is permanently attached to the ratchet, and the other end loops back into the ratchet for tightening. I've found it...

    I've no agenda other than the truth.

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    Yeah, I mean, if you're going to attack someone personally, at least do it with a little ingenuity. Making fun of someone's name? And their online screen name at that? If you're going to go there, just say that his name reminds you of DougTravels. That's a below-the-belt insult, but at least...

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    Shell Rotella 15W-40 is on The List, which is the important thing. :D When I first got mine I almost went with Rotella, because it's good oil and it's on The List. But then I found out the factory fill was Mobile 1 0W-40, so I stuck with that. I didn't want it to break in with one oil and then...

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    That's not bad at all. I prefer the synthetic oil, because it's fake and will make my engine last forever.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    What kind of oil are they using for $54, Mazola 10W-30? I changed my oil & filter yesterday in the Pilot parking lot. Opened the Fumoto valve and the oil drained into a 2½ gallon gas can. I buy the Mobile 1 0W-40 oil at Walmart in 5 quart jugs for $25 a jug. Filters from Europarts. I also...

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    I really couldn't care less about the spin, which side did this or that. But my BS detector goes off when someone blames one side while absolving the other side, all while ignoring the facts of what actually happened, of ignoring reality. The reality is the CRA and subsequent related legislation...

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    It's not a one-side or the other, it's simply what happened. Bankers bellying up to the feeding trough and getting their fill was made possible by what I posted above. Barney Frank allowed that Gekko Greed to flourish by allowing, even encouraging, unrestricted greed to run wild. You aren't...

    Van insulation

    Fiberglass shouldn't be a big problem as long as you have it pretty well covered up, but you will breathe in some glass fibers, just the same. With all the jostling around it can't be helped. How much depends on how well it's covered, sealed or not, etc. Then again, look at how much dust...

    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    If you think you're dealing with idiotic people now, boy are you in for a surprise.

    Another Obama Smackdown from SCOTUS

    You say that because you believe it and want it and think that's how it should be. The same exact thing goes for those using the Hobby Lobby ruling. There is no difference. None.

    Another Obama Smackdown from SCOTUS

    Absolutely. People are gong to latch on to this and milk it for all it's worth, just like the gay community has latched onto getting people to believe that Gay Rights = Civil Rights and that "Equal Marriage" is a thing.
