Ever seen a chicken with it's head cut off? That is EXACTLY what this bunch we have now looks like. Running around in every direction, trying to slove ever problem at once without offending anyone for any reason. Don't work that way. They lack backround, experience and focus. That is a very bad...

It is a shame but I do see a really big scam industry starting up. Need a new windshield? Claim that ice came off a truck, they will buy you one. Want a lifetime of freedom? Claim ice came off a truck and did you a "lifetime of damage". Not one good single way to prove it either way. NO carrier...

I got a messege from Terry, he is quoting the parts of the law that prohibit the use or carrying that equipment. It seems, as always, that governments are talking out of both sides of thier face, nothing new there. I don't know how hard it is to do it or how long it would take. I really don't...

Even our free Breakfast at the Petro? And my nice new green hat? NAW, those are perks for being so cool!! :rolleyes: Layoutshooter

It would take a lot to melt exsisting ice, the key is to make that roof warm enough to not allow the build up to start. It would have to been done so as not to interfere with reefer ops. No easy solution I am sure, BUT, this is America and we will find the answer, as long as we can make a...

Is there a online "store" where I can look at "toys" to do this job with? Layoutshooter

Why are they not illegal alliens? Were they here legally? IF not, then they are illegal aliens. As to the ACLU suing on thier behalf, that is one of the most wacked out left wing groups anywhere. Our house was broken into once by a gang of Toledo crack heads several years ago. What a shame I was...

Heavy ice build ups is a real problem for us. That weight and loss of aero-dynamics will have an impact on fuel mileage. If you build up enough weight on the roof it can also affect handling, you become more top heavy and your center of gravity is higher. It would be to our advantage to solve...

I am well aware of this Administrations in-ability to deal with real world military and intellegence challenges. I ranted and raved about Obama's lack of real world experience all during the election. Many seemed to think that experience means nothing. Well, it is starting to show and big time...

Did you ever look at the Rock River Arms pieces with the Wylde chamber? I have a real interest in those. Layoutshooter

In a war you kill the enemy. If captured you put them in a POW camp till hostiliies end (GITMO) If that enemy is not in uniform there is no need to do anything else but shoot him. War sucks, it is cruel and horrible. Our enemy today has no reguard for human life. They have been working on ways...

I know it is a problem for us reefers. I see where a low voltage system like used on house roofs to keep ice ****s from builting up might work. I would have to think on how to retro-fit it. I would raise roof hights a bit. Layoutshooter

Thank you for that info, we need to make sure that Terry and Fedex gets that. They are under the impression that we CANNOT have that equipment on board. WOW, that even makes sense!! I am impressed. Now, if we can get the cost into a more reasonable ranges. Layoutshooter

I agree with the moral boost thing. IF we boast it loud and clear. From a strickly stratigic standpoint it will have little effect. It might, in fact, encouarge new and even more radical extremists to take his place. I am sure that Iran has several in training. It is a very interesting problem...

I have not seen that either Linda, is there anything on the extra-net? We too have a high deducable HSA program that we like. We like the control it gives us over our health care. Layoutshooter

That might work, or, shut down all trucking in winter therefore eliminating the problem entirely. Then just the 4 wheelers would be driving around with snow and ice all over thier vehicals, like on the windshield and rear window. Layoutshooter

Speed Limters The speed part if not a problem for us, reguardless of where we are running. We drive no faster than 65mph. Most of the time between 57 and 63mph. It is losing the use of the engine in an emergency that we are concerned about. If the Ont and QC governments were reasonable, there...

Yepper Jack, We will be heading in for dinner around six. This could be the start of an Expediter PARTY at the Petro in Bordentown!!! See ya then! layoutshooter

I had my oil pan plug stripped at the Speedco in Wythville, VA. It is a fairly common problem with Mercedes engines. They have an almuminum oil pan and a steel oil plug. Speeco did jump right in and pay for the repairs. I no longer have a plug. I have one of those systems where you put a hose on...

That would work if we are not under load. Any Temp control unit that has the ability to heat could do that, not just TVAL. Layoutshooter
