I soo agree with that. I do believe that his son will be ordained straight into that seat when his father either steps down or dies. It will be hard not to "jump" him on everything if he does so up but even the Layoutshooter understands about polite public behavior and the need to know what is...

OK, I thought I had it right. I will look into it next time I am in the shop. Maybe someone there would know about software etc for the "Speed Limiter" thing too. If the Canada runs continue to pay what they are I would be very ill-advised to give them up. layoutshooter

I just may look into that next year. I can't do anything this year. It may take all this year to make up for the "hurricane mess" from last year. That is a very good idea though. For the most part the gasoline generators seem to run quieter thier diesel counter-parts too. Layoutshooter

I am in Dingell-Berry's district. I do vote FOR him in the primary, and AGAINST him in the general election. For the most part, when the Dumb-O-Crats run someone against him in the primary they are far worse, I.E. MUCH futher to the left than he is. I vote for who ever the Re-Bum-LI-Cans put up...

Just so I understand, we are talking about "lowering" the shift point, I.E. a lower RPM that we are shifting at. Right now mine shifts at around 1500rpm or so. You are saying to drop that to 13 or 1400? Lower? Do I assume that a Mercedes or a "good" Freightliner would know? Layoutshooter

Having an APU makes sense to a point. Mine, at least, does not. It does not pay for itself do to allllll the repairs that are needed to keep it up and running. The engine is good, the heat ok and the AC part sucks. The belt drive system is poorly designed too. I have a ProHeat. It also may or...

Thank you. Another dumb question then. Let's say I get my shift points changed on my EatonFuller 10sp Autoshift. How would that affect me when I was loaded very light or very heavy? I may not understand this as well as I should but would I not need more low end power when very heavy and the...

I seem to remember hearing that several, if not all, of those banks you mentioned were holding mortgage based securities that AIG was holding policies on. That AIG was under a contractual obligation to pay off on those policies. I am more outraged about what lead up to this entire thing. The...

I listened to a good bit of the hearing yesterday on the radio. Two things struck me. 1: The congress people, for the most part, sucked. They are a embarssment to the country. 2: Mr Liddy has FAR more patience than I do. After the 2nd or 3rd time that one of those "demagogs" got on my case like...

I never noticed that Jesus was holding a rifle!! What kind is it? As a practicing Catholic and a firearms ower I feel it must be my "religious duty" to own at LEAST one of those rifles!! We are required to try to "follow Jesus" as much as possible!! :D I thank God every day for his gift of...

We will try hard to make the July show!! With any luck we can get large "liftgate" parties going there!!! Layoutshooter

Greg, I still don't know everything I need to know about trucking so don't laugh. What is "progressive shifing"? Layoutshooter

You may be right on that one Greg. I can assure you that NO big union is primarily there to look out for the Rank and File anymore. They are there to look out for themselves, line thier own pockets and hold as much power as possible. Layoutshooter

Yea, and I almost understand it!! I don't know about the ability to self-anoint. I thought only a priest could do that. Layoutshooter

Gee Phil, I have never heard of "transmission envy". Can it ever get bad enough to disable a driver? If so, would they then be able to get dis-ability? :rolleyes: Layoutshooter

Greg is right, either cut our or put high tarrifs on all Mexican ag imports. Truckers need to be of one voice on this, but that will never happen. Teamsters will fight independents etc on whatever. Our industry is fragmented and will NOT stand as one, we should, but we won't. Layoutshooter

I am, as we speak, trying to wish one up for all that would like one!!!! :D Layoutshooter

We will not make it this year and we were so looking forward to the "Party in the Lot". :( BUT, we won't be there because we a have a nice little run that pays really nice money!!! :D Layoutshooter

They can offer, it does mean we accept those ultra-low rates. As of right now, and it can change as we all know, all of our rates are higher than they were for the same time frame last year. That is all I can say. I don't know if we can maintain that, I sure hope so. Layoutshooter

Yea, we have quit running it since the first ice up. There was a new compressor put in about a year ago. I will look into the hose thing. I can say one thing, I won't own another one of these overpriced anchors. It was on the truck when I bought it or it would not be there. Layoutshooter
