    New Sprinter 1st Oil Change Advice?

    You can take your own oil into the dealer and have them use that. It's also the way to know for sure what oil they use. Some dealers will use "good enough" oil out of a 55 gallon drum and then write on the work order that they used what they were supposed to use. They don't generally have the...

    Hazmat question

    I don't think so. I think that covers it. And I agree that the details from your questions need to be clarified in order to give any kind of useful or precise answer. I also think, for the sake of practicality, that an example which expediters can be typically confronted with can be construed...

    Reserve soldier gets pushy, cop slaps him down

    It's amazing to me how people can see very different things in the same video. To me, it's clear the cop took the first step in an alpha dog intimidating, menacing posture, which has been noted is one of the definitions of assault, a crime. The reaction of the kid was to effect a similar posture...

    Hazmat question

    Those without CDLs (driving unregulated vehicles like cargo vans) can haul non-placardable Table 2 materials and are not required to have any HAZMAT training, since those rules only apply to people who drive CMVs. The same is also true for the placement of HAZMAT shipping papers within the cab...

    Hazmat question

    Unless whatever you are hauling requires placards, the endorsement is not required.

    Garmin Dezl 760

    It'll probably do more then you think out will. The trick will be fighting out put. The User's Manual isn't likely to be much help. But places like GPS Passion can give you ideas as well as answers.

    It's really not that bad once you get used to it and learn it.

    Reserve soldier gets pushy, cop slaps him down

    Actually it's not even on topic, much less on par. You're still antagonizing and confronting rather than joining in or adding to the discussions. It's getting old and wearing thin.

    Hunting rifles blow up trains

    I'd post a pic of my dad around the same time, but I don't think it would make the same point. He was a helmsman aboard a carrier in the South Pacific. :D

    Reserve soldier gets pushy, cop slaps him down

    I view this one differently because the situations are different. The motorcyclist evaded a simple, direct question when her could have given a simple, direct answer. In this latest video, the kid did behave aggressively, but only in response to the cop behaving aggressively first. Maybe you...

    Reserve soldier gets pushy, cop slaps him down

    The kid got mouthy when he told the cop it took them 45 minutes to get there (which is not an unreasonable voicing of frustration), and that's what the cop took exception to. It was then the cop took a step forward, to show who was in charge here, and it's right then and there it escalated the...

    It's really cold at 30,000. Not that turkeys can fly, of course.

    US Postal Service Ends Saturday Delivery in August

    If you listen to politicians and the media, yeah, the Post Office is run poorly, inefficient and they deliver nothing but junk mail, but the reality can be realized by just taking a close look at what they do and how. You'll see that it's not run poorly at all, at least that which Congress...

    Hunting rifles blow up trains

    A well-placed bird can bring down a plane. A well-placed penny can blow up a train. I'm all for getting rid of the pennies, actually, but birds I'm not to sure about.

    US Postal Service Ends Saturday Delivery in August

    I'm of the firm belief that the majority of Congress should be impeached for treason. Under the guise of national and economic security, they have made us less secure on both fronts.
