They're not letting him in because he's a first class nutjob who is out of touch with reality.

The brokers and the size of the orientation classes are steeped in the no-no pile, tho. Both are directly related to "someone will do it cheaper" because as Hawk noted, it's supply and demand, and everything in or out of the no-no pile is directly related to supply and demand. What has...

Currently the Structured Fuel Surcharge for the Week of 1/18- 1/25 at my carrier is 6 MPG for a TT (.35) , 9 for a Straight (.23) and 11 for a van (.19). $3.33 - $1.25 = $2.08 $2.08 / 6 = $0.3466 $2.08 / 9 = $0.2311 $2.08 / 11 = $0.1891 Some carriers subtract as much as $1.45 instead of...

You know how when food is plentiful that rats and mice reproduce at astounding rates? And how when the food supply dwindles the rat and mice populations dwindle to match? There ya go.

I hate to break it to Sprinter, cube van and Aerocell owners, but you're driving a cargo van. It's a cargo van that in many cases also has additional length or height capacity that can be rented out, but it's still a cargo van. Unless you are hauling something which requires the renting of the...

From Post #10 Let's recap, shall we? :D OVM noted the key wording here: Then you stated flatly: Dynamite 1 pressed further with: OVM responded to Dynamite 1 Although I suspect OVM is giving the benefit of the doubt as to whether it was, in fact, actually heard. And now we're back...

I can think of several reasons, actually, few of which are political. One may be interested in educational budgets in general, especially in light of the current economic climate with regard to state budgets, and how things may affects different states in many ways. In your never ending quest...

Pilot didn't do this app, someone else did.

Re: CV rates and logging Considering that the DOT doesn't require lettering on freight-hauling cargo vans (unless placarded for HAZMAT), that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. A few states (like Michigan and a couple of others, I think) require lettering, and a few carriers require it, but...

First thing, an isolator is a relay. It's either open (no current flowing through it) or it's closed (current flowing through it). It's an ON/OFF switch, nothing more. Second, there's no such thing as 1 o/t cable. Third, for a 10 foot cable, AWG #8 cable will handle 75 amps sustained, but...

You didn't actually ask anything, though.

I don't know. I didn't say you were, I said it could easily be construed as such, and then plainly stated why. If you get overly defensive about it, then it gets easier to construe it that way. I'm talking about real, actual issues, and out of all of that you yanked out one partial sentence...

The reason everyone gets worried is because there have been a few van expediters who knew how to use it correctly and opened a roof vent and everything, and still ended up in a pine box. Propane heaters are very safe when everything is working right, but you can't be too careful. Propane heaters...

Yes, the left acts as though there's no hate on their side at all and it gets old. So does the right, and it gets just as old. Malkin's story was posted two days after the shooting, when the hate-fill rhetoric was still in full swing as Standard Operating Procedure on both sides. Posting it...

Read the above crap about coolant. Prestone 50/50 isn't on The List, and if there's one very-near-absolute about Sprinters, don't use any fluids that aren't on The List. Ironically, it's the one that made me know I couldn't. :D It's helped me out a lot, tho. Back when I insulated this thing I...

I do love a good irony. The Climate of Hate is on both sides. Just because someone is on one side or the other doesn't diminish that side's role in the hatred. It's seething and ubiquitous on both sides, everywhere. Malkin's post is the literal flip-side of the hate she's whining about. And by...

Drunks and other DUI habituals routinely get sentenced with a Breathalyzer for their car. In 2009 Toyota (in cohorts with Hino Motors) developed a hand-held model that they tested. The nifty thing about the Toyota model, no thanks to Hino, I'm sure, is there is a Super Duper Trucker Model that...
