Oh, Lord. Yeah, this is basic info (long ago discussed and detailed by Doktor A on the Sprinter forum). If a Sprinter technician or a service writer tells you that the pulley is supposed to have grooves, and that the groves and/or the shoulder edges have "worn out", just slap them upside the...

Kwik Trip and Quik Trip are two very different companies, in addition to being spelled differently (one starts with a Q and the other doesn't).

River wear (sometimes called erosion wear) is common in situations where steer axle loads are light, turning is infrequent (mainly straight, Interstate routes) and the wear rate is slow. It's very common on motor home RV's, especially with radial tires, where, naturally, the steer axle loads...

Nearly every load I take is a backhaul. Well, I haul it in the back of the van, anyway.

You bunch of whiners. Two words: Cincinnati Bungles

If you have a metal oxide windshield, you're gonna need an external transponder (license plate mount or roof mount). If your GPS receiver works with the windshield, chances are a toll transponder will, too. You don't want to hold it out the window when going through a toll, mainly because the...

I don't think it really matters much which one you get. EZ Pass, I-Pass, I-Zoom, they all work on the same toll roads. I ordered mine online. At the time, EZ Pass seemed to have the most hoops to jump through and the most extraneous crap to deal with to get it. Some states, online or in person...

There ya go. There's just no comparison between a team van and a team straight. Van capacity exceeds available van freight, so there is more competition for van freight. Straight truck capacity is much closer to available freight, so straights get loaded more often. The straight trucks simply...

Just awesome. LOL

Nobody keeps making excuses for Obama's gaffes. There are people, however, who keep bringing them up again and again as if Obama himself keeps making the same gaffes over and over and over again on a daily basis. For example, how many times has Obama made the "57 states" gaffe (once), versus how...

OK, that glittered sweatshirt is awesome. Very kewl. :)

One guy said, "When you crank it up it'll blow the fork trucks over." He was kidding, but they said it really moves a lot of air efficiently. They kept talking about how great it is in the summer, but also how it pulls the heat out of the rafters to keep the heating bill a lot lower than...

Really, really big. That's one Big Aѕѕ Fan! Below is a Big Aѕѕ Fan at an industrial location in Telford, PA I delivered to this morning. They make coffee and food bags, industrial bags, chemicals, all sorts of stuff. The fan is 24-feet in diameter. Photo: Turtle's Droid Bionic If you have...

US Route 24 is one of the original United State highways of 1926. The eastern terminus is west of Clarkton, MI at an intersection with I-75, and its western terminus is near Minturn, CO at an intersection with I-70. Once is leaves Michigan it runs through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri...

Focus groups generally focus on a specific, um, you know, group, rather than focusing on, you know, a specific group plus everybody else. That's why they call it a focus group. Intead of billing it as a focus group for Class 6 and above, I suppose they could have billed it as "come one, come...

Sprint has announced they will be dropping WiMax in favor of LTE. By the end of 2012 WiMax will be no more. Sorry.

Mark Rasch (a digital law consultant and the former head of the Department of Justice's computer crimes unit) is dying to get in on the super-fast 4G cellphone networks he keeps hearing so much about. Advertisements with streaming movies, live sports, even lightning bolts that help create...

A lot I would imagine. Social Media is playing and will play a large role, so I wonder how long it will be before the "authorities" decide 'enough is enough' with that, as well. As things become violent in certain pockets, that's likely to happen, "in the interest of public safety", I'm sure.

At least Obama's gaffe was semi-plausible, understandable and forgivable, as he was in Hawaii for the Asian-Pacific Summit, and obviously, had Asia on the brain. Still, he was born in Hawaii. Sheesh. Cain, on the other hand, just finished up a debate on foreign policy, and had foreign policy...
