"Jane, you ignorant :censoredsign:". - Dan Aykroyd Doing this under the company logo and authority is not what determines being subject to regulation just as you are. The DOT and the states are very precise on what defines a vehicle subject to regulation. I cannot believe you typed with a straight face...

One, very few people out here have halogen lights, and two, those who do, if they were properly installed, are on separate circuits anyway, same as the factory lamps, since the HID conversion and wiring harness connects directly to the OEM connectors, and the ballasts are designed specifically...

Nope, it doesn't. Everything bad that happens next year will be blamed on the Mayan Calendar, despite the fact that it would have happened even if the Mayan Calendar had never existed. Calendars (and the concept of time) is a man-made construct that means, in the end, nothing. There's a snotload...

That's exactly it. If you talk on a cell phone and have an accident, then you should be put through the ringer, but if you talk on one and don't have an accident, then you've done nothing wrong.

Well, it's astoundingly small, since my dispatch knows my dimensions and freight capacity, so they rarely offer me load that would put me overweight in the first place. To date, I have carried two loads that were overweight in my Sprinter.

Ground control's fault. Should have asked for altitude and directional heading.

The "risk" isn't the overweight fee, as that's going to be very low risk and a rather cheap fine, at that. The risk is in the absolute certainty of dramatically increased wear on the friction parts of the transmission as well as the wheel bearings, and the increased stress on the entire drive...

When a headlamp blows, Halogen or otherwise, a surge of power isn't sent to the other one. If that were true, failure wouldn't be imminent, it would be instant. The reason headlamps blow within a short period of time of each other is they both have the same relative lifespan, and when one blows...

The problem is, the DOT and FMCSA cannot regulate passenger cars with law like this. It's up to the states.

What it needs to say is: QUIT SPEEDING TURN IN YOUR LOGS

I actually thought about that. Wondered if I said anything, how quickly it would get done. LOL

Yo, yo, yo, you go, go, go girl. It's time to rap while the hubby is snoozin' Gonna get on my freakin' on and go out a cruizin' Toolin' down the road with my blingety, bling a blingin' The only ones a lookin' are them big, hairy bison. Oh, wait, you said wrap, not rap. Never mind.

I should have been quicker with the camera. You guys had two flags changed out before I caught it.

While I do say a lot of things in jest, that was not one of them. I used "most" quite specifically in order to not imply "all". Sorry for the confusion. "Most carriers (except Load 1, of course, and, well, obviously Landstar) will screw you over at every opportunity. There are likely a few...

Of course, my keen observation is a result of me being parked where I'm not supposed to be, and having been here for a while with nothing to do but observe things. I know! I watched them three fellers do it. :D

Oh, I know. The Sprinter will teach you that what appears at first to be simple, often is not. And the other way around. A pessimist thinks all women are bad. An optimist hopes so.

I was wondering if we also contract with Detroit Edison for the flags out front. Juuuuuuust an observation. :D

Tech Support: Hello. How may I help you? User: My computer isn't working. Tech Support: Have you tried pushing the POWER button to turn it on? User: Yes, of course. But it won't come on. Tech Support: Is the computer plugged into an electrical outlet? User: No, it's not. I just plugged it...

You're lucky then. The compressor isn't the only thing that's running on a fridge. Oftentimes when the compressor isn't running, refrigerant and compressor oil is still circulating. Many times with the compressor not running, you can reach back there and feel the hot coils. There's lot of stuff...
