Thanks Piper1, I am sure that many in here would be interested in what you find. I know I will. I need all this info to make an informed decision. I still have a problem with the safety factor. I can't wait to hear what carriers are going to say. Are they still going to require the ability to go...

I think I would question the charactor of someone who would place profit ahead of thier core beliefs, morals, what ever you wish to call it. I need a buck as much as the next guy but not at the expense of my core beliefs. The meaning of "core beliefs" is just that. Your beliefs are more...

My truck is no longer under warrenty so that is not an issue. I will not pay $100 per shot. I don't like the law in general, losing that much of my engine could make getting out of trouble difficult if not impossible in certain situations. Some stats I have seen place a figure of 20% of the time...

They are Piper1, they get a really good price on "used" ones after Detroit Red Wings games!! Layoutshooter

I am leaning towards NOT limiting my truck to meet these laws. I feel that they are dangerous. Having said that I would still like more information. I know that it is a computer thing now. How much to do it and fix it back? Is there a "computer tool" to do it yourself? If so, how much and how...

We have not knowningly carried anything illegal on our truck. We have not knowningly carried anything that we are opposed to morally. If we ever found out that a load was illegal or something we were morally opposed to we would call the police in the first case and refuse the load in the second...

We are SW of Minnieapolis picking up today and headed for NJ. Layoutshooter

Tell me more, I am not aware of them. Layoutshooter

I have no problem with that. Layoutshooter

The idea that the government will be creating cirme by prohibitting the sale of some or all firearms is lost on these idiots. Those prohibitions will create black markets and all the other crimes that go with it. They just cannot learn from history. It happened when booze was outlawed and now...

I must say you are right. The CCW in Michigan is for conealled handguns, not that it is reallhy any of the governments business what or how I carry. Maybe I should just get a really big handgun and carry in the open. Layoutshooter

Which state are those? I need to know. Smuggling in those guns into those states would be a great side business. LOL. I was not aware of any state with those illegal restrictions. Layoutshoooter

We ran that run in mid-Nov. It was great. The owner we had at the time had no problem with us taking it at all. He had the truck set up for it. Fuel tank heaters and all. The fuel stops are not that far apart, just fill up everytime you get to the 1/2 mark and you would be fine. We had comdata...

If you don't have a CCW you should get one, even if you never intend to carry or even buy a handgun. It will be much harder to take one away if you already have it. The entire idea of having to get permission to exercise my CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to bare arms really just ticks me off. Just who in...

The oldprof is right, we use humor about this subject because it envoles an envasive, un-pleasent and embarssing proceedure. You just have to make fun of it. That by no means lessons the importance of keeping up on your maintinece. Layoutshooter

I don't think I would go as far as to call GPS a toy. It is just another tool. Ours has pays for itself every year. We have used it to re-route when we run into road problems or those really fun un-marked detours. It really helps for the locals. We bought a $99 GPS modual 3 years ago and it...

Same here!! Sites like this cost more than a nickle to run so every penny would help!! Layoutshooter

Hey Chef, is there a setting on your software to "force" routing to certain size roads? We run DeLorme on our laptop. We can set it to stay on interstates or whatever. It makes a mistake once in a while but we always match our routing to what FedEx gives us AND we also check that against the...

We run a straight truck. We did not think we would be comforable with a T/T. We are a White Glove, TVAL and everything else truck. Our reefer seems to keep us running most of the time. Since the beginning of the year the majority of our loads have been reefer loads. It was the same story last...

We need two size stickers, ones that can fit on the "vent window" and a little bit larger one for the back doors. Maybe licences plate frames too. Layoutshooter
