That's pretty much it, yes. LOL :D

Yes, great post. I was a little disappointed in the story after reading the headline, tho. The headline immediately brought forth images of massive truckers trying to squat, lining up thigh-to-thigh in a waddle-fest of tag football and huffing and puffing in the truck lot. Oh, what fun that...

Mine are J305, 610 total amp hours, 1290 minutes (21.5 hours) total reserve capacity. RLENT just got one of the L16 models they have. Well, he got 4 of 'em. Here's the URL for the details on mine, and where I got them. Posts 11 and 13 give more details. Depending on how many amps you draw...

When using biodiesel in the Sprinter (Mercedes say B5 max for 09 and earlier, and none at all for the later models), I either double dose the Power Service, or, usually, dose Power Service and some Howes Meaner Kleaner.

It definitely wasn't Jeremy who called me and got me out of Berea, KY (to KC) tonight.

Fair point. :)

Lots of them that are missing from the list. One is the lesser known Flint Hills (the very excellent Performance Gold Diesel Plus found in upper midwest states, especially Kwik Trip in MN) which is 48 minimum. That stuff is loaded for bear in the winter months, too.

You know you're witnessing a tad bit of bias when an oil cooler seal failure is somehow equated to slop bucket immortality. :D

That's true, but there are different racks and rack rates for different types of diesel, everything from #1 and #2 diesel to Bx biodiesel. BP has three different diesel fuels. One of the BP stations at home (the truck fuel stop on the north end of town on 641) offers Premium (50-51 cetane) year...

Baseball players, they are a superstitious bunch. The sparks could also mean they are destined to go down in flames in an early post-season exit at the hands of the Texas RadarRangers or the Bronx Bombers, or get burned by the Brewers, fried by the Phillies, or discharged by the Diamondbacks in...

The motel room at the Quality Inn, or this sleeper? This truck is so shiny... How shiny is it? It's so shiny that it's reflecting the American flag that's on the other side of it!

My guess would be the leather on metal caused a static discharge. That, or it was just another tribute to George Anderson. :D

Yeah, I seem to recall someone penciling in my truck number on the Dubuque-Spirit Lake Dedicated Run list for a few weeks there. I was running between Waterloo and Dubuque so much that the local cops thought I'd moved there and stopped me for not having an Iowa license plate on the front of the...

Yeah, lots of people. Here's a quick search of the forums where nitrogen has been extensively discussed. I've been using nitrogen in the tired for years. Big proponent of it. Lots and lots of benefits.

This seems too much like homework. :D Three Year Gross Profit Per Mile Carrier A - 28.7 cents per mile Carrier B - 50 cents per mile Carrier C - 47.7 cents per mile Carrier B would be a slam dunk. Net profit would skunk the others.

I don't know of any carrier (or US or Canadian border guards, for that matter) who define a pocket knife as being a weapon. Most carriers prohibit firearms, but not a blanket prohibition on anything that can be classified as a "weapon". If that were the case, ballpoint pens, keys, flashlights...

At Panther, generally speaking, there's no point in dropping and running over the mountain to chase freight, since there's probably about 9 vans already sitting in Rockford and Beloit. There's not much coming out of Waterloo itself, but Waterloo sits in the center of a 100 mile radius from which...

They should use a 3D printer to print dark matter. It would solve a lot of problems, answer a lot of questions, and they could take it and show it to the Large Hadron Collider. On a side note, this is how science actually works, where observation and experiment can often require the theory to...

You mean, like a 56.63" tall, 108 lb, 4.8 cu. ft. refrigerator/freezer with a microwave, with a printer-scanner-copier cherry on top outlandish? I'm not a pro, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express the night before I installed the battery bank. Much larger, actually, if it's done right...
