There isn't any room for paying freight, duh. That's why we have to turn all loads offers down. People who tell you they have appliances running off inverters in their vans, AND that they also haul freight, are pulling your leg. Can't be done, no way, no how.

Generally speaking, the extra few cents per gallon for Power Service is offset by the increase in fuel economy by the cetane boost. One thing to note, the white bottle (winter - 4 cetane boost) give less of a cetane boost than the gray bottle (summer - 6 cetane boost), but of course not having...

That won't really change the design of the battery. You'll still draw stored electricity from those thin lead plates in the cranking battery, and the alternator will quickly recharge the battery in the process. So you won't run the starting battery down while the van is running, but the battery...

I use the card, at the PFJ, and therefore must use Power Service + cetane boost in order to bring the cetane up.

You didn't click on it, did you? Sooooo, that would mean.... uhm, never mind. Dontcha just hate it when that happens? :D

For real. Starting batteries are designed for one purpose, and running an inverter ain't it. It's designed to supply a snotload of amps for a few seconds to start the vehicle. The lead plates in a cranking battery are the exact wrong kind for the sustained draw of an inverter. There's no way to...

I think at the very least one should not make a request for all the shop papers and for all recalls to be updated, and then drive the truck out of there without getting what was requested.

Clearly it is. Just look at how many people in this thread alone would enthusiastically welcome Child Protective Services, nosy neighbors and anyone else into their lives to tell them what to do, what to think and how to live, not to mention beat them up now and again.

Well, Hobbits eat Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevensies, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, and Supper. At least 6 times a day when they can get it. So, the Hobbits among us (mostly in cargo vans) may be eating out as many as 42 times a week. Maybe you were fresh off a LOTR viewing and got the...

Wow, talk about off the beaten path. LOL That's a popular local dive. And I do mean dive. Looks like it needs to be set on fire and then bulldozed. But, it's got quite likely the very best pizza I've ever had. It's really that good. They need to open more locations. Being a college town, Murray...

I'm getting the Bionic in a week or two.

Hi, my name is DoUntoOthers, and I'm an independent contractor who isn't likely to tell another indpendent contractor how to do their job, because I wouldn't want them telling me how to do mine. Once I'm perfect, tho, that's different, and then I'll start telling others what to do.

Ohhhh, I remember all of them. ;)

Texting, sure, hand-helds, fine, but there is no compelling data whatsoever that the banning of hands-free devices would make the roads any safer, and any ruling from the FMCSA or the NTSB must, by law, be supported by irrefutable evidence. Any federal ruling without such evidence would be...

Thank you all. That was nice. :) Unfortunately, the load I got was relatively short load with lots of headhead that ended up paying less than the same load would have at my previous carrier. But that's pretty much how my birthdays have gone in expediting. :rolleyes:

Yup, Pilot and Flying J (especially the J's that got their fuel from the J refinery in SLC) tend to be 40-44 cetane, and the TA tends to be at least 45, usually closer to 50 (which is CARB cetane, and what the cetane level is in Europe and most of Canada). Higher cetane gives you more of a...

There's one guy out here (if he's still out here, I haven't seen him in a while) with like half a dozen cats in his van. It's unreal.

To call it stealing is extraordinarily narrow minded, and is an attempt to associate nearly everyone involved with something bad and thoroughly objectionable. It's the same tactic the gay community uses when it tries to equate the Gay Agenda with Civil Rights, because no one wants to be thought...

You're not likely to get very many responses on this, even though there are several (that I know of) foreign-born EO members, some of whom post here in the Soapbox once in a while. The problem is, once they've given that information (which would in and of itself be interesting to know just from...

No, you're not off your rocker. You're beginning to see the light. ;)
