    Another group jumps on band wagon to ban cell phones

    Sure it compares. Since Ray LaHood beats the distracted driving drum for all vehicles, not just CMVs, then a picture of him driving any vehicle while talking on the phone would vividly illustrate his hypocrisy. Of course it's goofy. That's the point. I was going to say, "Nothing gets by you...

    Top 5 Odd Museums

    In Houston at the Richey exit off I-45 where the Flying J is located, you go south on the frontage road and then turn right on Barren Springs. About 2 blocks is the National Museum of Funeral History. It's not nearly as creep as you'd think (and certainly not as creepy as the Museum of...

    Another group jumps on band wagon to ban cell phones

    I'm offering a reward to anyone who can get me a picture of Ray LaHood driving while talking on a hand-held cell phone. If you can get one of him texting, I'll double it.

    I'm in Cincy. I discovered an injector seal leak Sunday. This past week I was getting diesel exhaust smell in the cab. Pulled the cover and there it was, a thin amber layer of shellac on the injector. Caught it early, but if left unchecked will result in the Black Death. Gonna have Doktor A in...

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    What I am not understanding is why someone from FedEx Custom Critical would care about why someone from Landstar and from Panther would care about FedEx Custom Critical's policy about longevity, much less why someone at Load 1 would care about why someone from FedEx Custom Critical would care...

    Arkansas Cellular phone restrictions

    No texting, and certainly no phone calls in a school zone is probably a good thing. Teachers will certainly appreciate it. Getting road construction crews off the phone and back to work is also a good thing, I think.

    Islamist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki killed in Yemen

    Because the Constitution provides for Congress and the legislation process constraints of the several states, all laws enacted by a constitutionally valid Congress or state legislature are, in fact, Constitutional unless or until a court of jurisdiction says otherwise. Whether or not they have...

    Van shocks

    Some shocks need replacing at 60,000 miles, some at 300,000. It's a wear part, not a timed part, so it all depends how often you get to drive in and around Detroit.

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    Well, you can laugh all you want, but Clause 2 of Article VI, which you quoted, says precisely what I stated, that all laws passed under the Constitution become the law of the land, exactly the same as the Constitution is also the law of the land. If a law is not judged to be unconstitutional...

    ACLU: Killing US born al-Quieda

    They are equally senior and controlling, actually. All laws passed under the Constitution become the law of the land, same as the Constitution. The Constitution and all laws become one in the same. It is only when a law is in conflict with the Constitution, as determined by the Supreme Court...

    Islamist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki killed in Yemen

    Do you even know what a douche is? It is a jet or current of water applied to the body for cleansing and hygienic purposes. American needs a good douching.

    DOT Requirements for cargo van

    You're getting into this business without first knowing what all is required? The DOT doesn't require a thing from cargo vans unless they're placarded for HAZMAT. Cargo vans are not commercial motor vehicles unless placarded. The DOT vehicle inspection requirement is a requirement of Panther...

    Droid or Iphone???

    The best easy-to-use phone for the technologically challenged would be an iPhone, since the learning curve on an iPhone is more of a straight line than a curve. It's so easy a caveman from Kitchener can use it (used for aural alliteration purposes only. Any resemblance to persons living or...

    Droid or Iphone???

    Not to worry, Jim. The Technotard Club has a very large membership. :D Are smartphones necessary? Hardly. But you can do so much more with them. They are basically small computers that oh, BTW, also make phone calls. You can surf the Web (I used the Droid to check board position while at...

    Inverter for Cargo Van

    Do read all the previous posts about inverters and batteries, as most any question you have will already be answered there. But the Watts on the on the label is how many Watts the appliance draws. Watts divided by volts = amps. A 900 Watt coffee maker divided by 120 volts is 7.5 amps. But since...

    September Banter & Location

    Not sure about the truck spots, but the available showers are within seconds of real time, since those numbers come right out of the system that the showers use. It's very kewl. Another one is you can redeem a shower right from the app, and it'll send you an e-mail (or a text message, whichever...

    Droid or Iphone???

    Well, it makes perfect sense to go from a Droid to another Droid if you like the Android operating system. If you don't, then you won't like any Droid at all. As for the difference in the Bionic, it is a first dual-core 4G LTE handset (and Motorola used a custom LTE chip specifically for the...
