I know it is a problem for us reefers. I see where a low voltage system like used on house roofs to keep ice ****s from builting up might work. I would have to think on how to retro-fit it. I would raise roof hights a bit. Layoutshooter

Thank you for that info, we need to make sure that Terry and Fedex gets that. They are under the impression that we CANNOT have that equipment on board. WOW, that even makes sense!! I am impressed. Now, if we can get the cost into a more reasonable ranges. Layoutshooter

I agree with the moral boost thing. IF we boast it loud and clear. From a strickly stratigic standpoint it will have little effect. It might, in fact, encouarge new and even more radical extremists to take his place. I am sure that Iran has several in training. It is a very interesting problem...

I have not seen that either Linda, is there anything on the extra-net? We too have a high deducable HSA program that we like. We like the control it gives us over our health care. Layoutshooter

That might work, or, shut down all trucking in winter therefore eliminating the problem entirely. Then just the 4 wheelers would be driving around with snow and ice all over thier vehicals, like on the windshield and rear window. Layoutshooter

Speed Limters The speed part if not a problem for us, reguardless of where we are running. We drive no faster than 65mph. Most of the time between 57 and 63mph. It is losing the use of the engine in an emergency that we are concerned about. If the Ont and QC governments were reasonable, there...

Yepper Jack, We will be heading in for dinner around six. This could be the start of an Expediter PARTY at the Petro in Bordentown!!! See ya then! layoutshooter

I had my oil pan plug stripped at the Speedco in Wythville, VA. It is a fairly common problem with Mercedes engines. They have an almuminum oil pan and a steel oil plug. Speeco did jump right in and pay for the repairs. I no longer have a plug. I have one of those systems where you put a hose on...

That would work if we are not under load. Any Temp control unit that has the ability to heat could do that, not just TVAL. Layoutshooter

Sounds like a good idea, wonder how it would affect Reefer oporations? Layoutshooter

Killing Osama, if he is alive, will have little effect. There are plenty more in the wings to take his place. WE have to take out the main causes, Iran, Russia and China. Mark my word, they are the problem. They want to rule, by force, the world. These countries leaders are the ones pulling the...

No Rocket, not Yogi, I forget who said it but I always liked that quote, it is just SOOO funny!! Yogi is one of my heros. A man of great vision and a wonderful speaker. He would make a very effective Sec. of State. Much better than Hillary is. :p Layoutshooter

I just don't understand it, other than follow the money of course, how does U.S. drug use cause crime in Mexico? No one "FORCES" anyone into becoming a drug supplier. They do it of thier own free will. They do it for the money and the power that they wield. They do it in total disreguard of the...

I know what you mean. I am going to have to really think long and hard about it. Last year we hardly ever went into Canada, this year we have been up there often, and they have paid quite good too. Layoutshooter

It was new to me Greg, I have taken that route several times in the last few months and this was the first time we ever ran into this problem. I will say, after this week I am tired of working NYC and will be happy to watch it receed on Monday. Got a load from JFK to Buffalo, then it's off t the...

Who has decided if they are going to put speed limiters on thier truck for Canada? Talked with Terry on Friday and he seems to think that you cannot have software etc to be able to change it on your own. That would suck. I really am torn on this one. I don't want to give up the Canada work but I...

I got a hen pheasant in Kansas, played heck with the grill. Got a Sea Gull on the Cheasepeke Bay Bridge/Tunnel. I don't know how it did not break the windshield. How in the world did a Mexican get into your truck? Layoutshoter

What is the hold up? Layoutshooter

Leo, I am glad you figured it out. I was beginning to think that it was a few law-abiding deer hunters in Michigan that were responsible for that. I glad it was liberals, I am getting tired of getting blamed for all the crime. YOU nailed it. Give 'em H*LL Leo, you got my vote!!! Layoutshooter

We are BACK at the Petro in Bordentown. We had a load that ran today and one for Monday. Back in "Expediter Row" Drop in if you are around. Layoutshooter
