    Guy Gets caught breaking into trailers, Killed

    At the risk of sounding all Utopian and stuff, there is, however, a fundamental human right to freedom from fear, one of the Four Freedoms declared in FDR's January 6, 1941 State of the Union speech, coincidentally named The Four Freedoms Speech, and makes up the foundation of the UN Declaration...

    Quiting = no pay?

    Never believe anything a driver tells you. Including me. :D Incidentally, if you don't have a contract with Bolt, you can't quit them.

    Confuzing hazmat

    I've edited my reply above to properly differentiate between the placard-looking, diamond-shaped labels found on the packaging, and the actual placards which are the large cards that you place on the outsides of the vehicle. A placard is paperboard sign or notice, as one posted in a public...

    Quiting = no pay?

    I have a feeling that you weren't told that by any Bolt employee.

    Confuzing hazmat

    It's an unfortunate situation, but you were dead wrong. It's certainly best if you are well educated in HAZMAT procedures, rather than relying on dispatchers, shippers and company owners, since they might be wrong and it is you who are ultimately responsible for what you haul. Having said...

    Don't mess with Ted

    It's crazy. Even though it was like the one he used in 1944, it was still nevertheless a weapon he had never fired before. And he hit the target on his first shot, improved with the second, and nailed the center with his third. At 300 yards. Then, at 1000 yards, nails it on his first shot, then...

    Yeah, but it would have to be under 100 miles a day, although when you plug in at night you'll use a 220 volt outlet, so it'll recharge quicker.

    2006 Sprinter 2500 200K Miles, Just Bought...

    Well, yeah. The very first set of numbers I put to it told me a load from Detroit to Nogales wouldn't work, because it takes about an hour to recharge per ever 5 miles of travel, so 400 hours along the way would need to be set aside for charging.

    How Would You Spend It?

    I'd build a $22 million dollar wall without any gates and with plenty of razor wire around The Beltway.

    I'm only accusing you of precisely what you admitted: I realize that my saying that it's off-topic is only my opinion, but I think it's an opinion with a strong foundational base of the definition of "off-topic" which can be found here and here, with plenty of synonyms to drive home the point...

    Well, how would you describe a comment that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed?

    I have room under the bunk for 24 6-volt L16s batteries, for a total of 10,560 Ah (and a total of 3024 pounds including connector cables and lugs). I'd wire it serial/parallel to get a 144 volt system (6 batteries grouped in 36v banks), which would give me 2,460 amp hours and 380,160 Watts, or...

    Once you download the Service Manual, you'll see that pretty much every single service procedure to remove any part begins with: (1) Disconnect the negative battery cable. Under the Installation of the same part, the last step will be to "Connect the negative battery cable." As soon as the...

    Sinkhole under the Corvette Museum in KY

    Structural engineers have said the rest of the building is safe, and geologists say there is no real chance of any more sinkholes any time soon. Still, both have set up measuring devices to measure any movement of the Sky Tower. The museum is back open, but the Sky Dome is closed until further...

    At the bottom of the injectors where the little needle part of the injector goes into the engine cylinders to spit fuel into the cylinder, just above that needle the injector sits on a small copper seal about the size of a penny with a hole in the middle of it. The seal prevents the combustion...
