Truckers pay a lot of fuel tax. That tax should all be used on the roads. We all know that it is not. It is used to fund all kinds of things that truckers seldom if ever use. We do not get the full benefit of the tax dollars we spend. If congress cannot spend the money where it should be spent...

Let's hope that they get their act together. The country needs a strong auto industry. It is vital to our defense. It is up to both union and management to get off their butts and fix this stuff. It is not that hard, you just have to want to fix it. Old habits die very hard. Everything got...

I don't doubt that some things change. They need to do a better job of getting the word out. The quality had better be there or saying that things are better and then falling down again will make it worse. I know that I am NOT impressed with my 2002 F250. I have had to get the front hubs...

Happy to hear that bad workers can be gotten rid of. That was always a problem. I could never understand why the UAW protected them. Seems to me that they would know that if the company failed, so did they. Seen a lot of that stuff at Great Lakes Steel when I worked there. Drunks, guys smoking...

We already carry a scanner and printer on the truck. Having a direct link to FedEx will make it better. We will still need to carry them, for other than FedEx work. Glad to hear about the 7/10th thing, one more question answered. I have mixed feelings about the E-logging, mainly because of...

We have no emergency this time, just a 2325 mile DH. The tickets are less than the fuel to run it. Other than the parking problem, security etc, the only other problem we can see is that we will be in L.A. when we get back. :(

Things can change, they need to. I remember the short while that I worked at Ford, the Wayne Assembly Plant in Wayne Mich. That was way back in 1969. I was not there long, Ford got rid of me when they found out that I had a 1A draft status and the UAW did not care since I was not a member yet...

We have no use for the gps part, we have had on on the truck for years. While we are already able to scan and email documents this system, once it is up will make it faster and much less of a hassle. My mind is not yet made up on the Elogging but there is no way around it. I think there might be...

Thanks for the input. We are thinking about it flying home. We would have to DH from L.A. to Monroe, MI. Plane tickets are much less than the fuel for that drive not to mention the wear and tear and the 3 days.

At Jubitz, just as we were yesterday, still picking up here in Portland tomorrow, headed for L.A., again.

I know that some in here have parked their truck and flown home to avoid a long DH or in an emergency. Where did you park your truck? Did you have any problems? Would you do it again? Has anyone done this more than once? With fuel back up around $3 per gallon flying from coast to coast might...

Does the new stuff cost more? Maybe that is it. We could not here that call. I wish I could have.

We are headed to the house for next weekend. I have a DR appointment on Friday that I cannot miss. On that Sat, the 6th, I am going to do a pheasant/chukar hunt with several long time friends!! We will be hunting at Bear Creek Hunt Club near Adrian, MI. It is a great place. It is set up for...

That $7 bounty has had no effect on the hog population in Texas. They are very had to hunt and access to land to hunt is a problem in Texas as well. No, I did not see any of the Lecter movies, other than Silence of the Lambs. I missed that scene. Those hogs you saw could have been feral...

More info on feral hogs: Feral pigs are tearing up the landscape, killing wildlife and pets, and damaging farm crops and wildlife habitat in 40 states, including Michigan. Here are some facts about feral hogs: • Pigs are native to Europe. Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto imported the animals...

Works for me!! And lighten up, smoke some helium!! Just don't become and airhead!!

"Take my advice - get out more (like I do) - then you will find out just how many people there are out there that are smarter (like I have)" I get out all the time. I ONLY hang around with smart people. What else can I do? Like travels with like!! Man, you should know that. :rolleyes: " Well...

No, elevation has not weakened any brain cells. Maybe all that beer and other fine adults beverages over the years did, but not the elevation!! :eek:

Then are you saying that there is no hope? That we are doomed to the attack that is coming our way?

The explination of the humor was funny too. That must be a pretty big burr under that saddle. Bet it would feel a LOT better if you took it out!! :p
