Back in November it was announced that the German automotive supplier iwis (pronounced ee-vis) will take over the old Webasto plant in Murray, Kentucky (on US 641 just north of town), with production to begin in late 2013 and full production after the first of the year in 2014. They manufacture...

In this case they have to ignore the polls. Latest polling shows the majorities of gun owners (81 percent), non-gun owners (58 percent), Democrats (58 percent), independents (72 percent) and Republicans (85 percent) say the people who do these kinds of shootings (Sandy Hook, malls, etc.)...

You do realize that the above post is a clear example of playing the race card, right? I do love a good irony.

Two first graders are playing "cops and robbers" at recess in school. One points a finger and says, "Bam!" and the other does the same. Both boy are immediately removed from the playground and are suspended. Teachers and school administrators are asking, "Is this child's play or a threat of...

I'll post something later tonight, after I deliver.

"I don't carry cash, I travel on company credit cards, and they keep track of every penny." That pretty much eliminates any further discussion. ;)

That's what is so frustrating with Obama and those like him. If they can look at the school, mall, movie theater and other shootings, and come up with viable options that would prevent such shootings, I think the American people will back those solutions, whatever those solutions might be. And...

L-track is standard securement in air cargo. It's lightweight but very strong. It's also save some time in the long run in securing and removing securements. It's gnarly. So is factory Bluetooth.

We have way too much crap that's classified. We have some departments and agencies that classify every single scrap of paper they generate, where probably 99% of it should never be classified in the first place. It's ridiculous. Top Secret and Secret classifications are supposed to be reserved...

Which is why I find it strange than an independent contractor would so willingly give up part of his labor to a fleet owner, who is not his employer. In a 60/40 split the truck already earns it's fair share of its own labor, be that labor in carrying the freight, or sitting for detention, or in...

In the 1930s the price of gas averaged about 10 cents a gallon. A penny was a lot of money, especially during the Great Depression for people out of work. Even before that, at least as far back at 1914 there was a Texaco gas station in Texas that sold gas in fractions of a cent at 14.5 cents a...

I've honestly never understood the whole half-full, half-empty thing. Seriously. People who are pessimists see the glass as being half empty. Pessimists tend to see the worst in things. When I see a glass that's half empty, I figure half empty is better than empty empty. People who are...

It really isn't a false equivalence, as it's just as ridiculous to ban automobiles as it is to ban guns. Banning automobiles will eliminate automobile-related deaths, but it won't eliminate transportation deaths, as the evidence of horse-related deaths prior to the invention of the horseless...

Clearly, one can run without maturity and intelligence for a really long time.

It may be carrier related, the type of freight that gets hauled, I don't know, but I do know that with my previous carrier January was my best month of the year in 3 of the 5 years I was with them (one of those was a 13,300 loaded miles month) and the other 2 years January was the second-best...

Depends on where the money is coming from, the fleet owner or the carrier. <wink, wink> The OP didn't really make it clear if this was money split between owner and driver, or between carrier and truck. Generally, whatever the customer pays the carrier, the carrier will then pay a percentage...

Connect the Garmin to your computer and the drive in the Garmin will mount just like any removable drive. At least mine does. You can then delete the junk.

The map updates should fit. How, exactly, did you update it? Make sure you have updated the latest firmware and any software updates, and make sure you haven't downloaded just a snotload of extras like vehicles, voices and whatever. The North America NT 2013.10 map file (gmapsupp.img) is 1.62...

Sitting for more than a day or two in Chicago is rare, sitting for a week is even more rare. But it happens. That's the nature of expedited freight. The carrier you are with (and I know who it is) is not one to let people sit and rot, especially for the fleet owner you are driving for (and I...
