Turtle, this has been a global war since day one. No one is more sorry than I at the waste of life any war is. That is one of the reasons I spent 20 years doing everything I could to insure that this country avoided them. Our polititons and news media has been at best mis-leading us for as long...

We get to have some fun this weekend. We are checking into a motel, using some free nights. We are in York, PA. We used to live just down the road in tiny Glen Rock, PA and still have many friends there. We are going to rent a car and visit as many as we can. This is one of the main things we...

We are doing ok Phil, not lighting up the world but going forward slowly. Most of our numbers are up year to date over the same period last year. Both Fedex figures and ours say the same thing. Our number of runs are up as well. Our bottom line is a bit lower but that is due to shorter runs. We...

The current resident of the White House has been anti-military his entire life. He stood on the floor of the Senate and accused the military of targeting women and children and using rape as a weapon. Those are the tactics of our enemy, not ours. He says he is going to cut the DOD budget by 10%...

You are right about that one. Layoutshooter

I would not run it for that rate, not even close. I have only ever run one load for less than $1 per mile. I only took it because it was "backed up" on the other end with a load that paid WAY better and was over 1000 loaded miles. Made for a pretty good week. Layoutshooter

So far, year to date, our rates are up over the same time last year. I don't know if we can sustain it but we do like it now. The runs are shorter but we have run more loads than the same time last year. I would like to say it is because I know better how to place the truck for loads, dumb luck...

Maybe if we beg Onan? I know that they make a very good product. Oh well, maybe I can keep the ProHeat running for a while longer. Layoutshooter

Besides, I would more than likely get more than that $172 for that run any way. In fact, I most likely would not run it for that little. Layoutshooter

What would the round trip cost be for a run from L.A. to Kansas City, non-stop, straight through? Not taking into account that there is no D.O.T. legal sleeper. Layoutshooter

I understand, I find much of the CARB stuff confusing. The ONLY thing I understand is that main purpose of all of it is to remove money from my bank account. I can't find anywhere in the Onan literature that they make a CARB compliant unit. I was hoping when I had to replace my ProHeat that I...

Thank your son for me. I know the pride and the worry you feel, I too have a son and a nephew in the military. Thank God for all of them. Thanks to all the sons and daughters who serve us. They are the only thing between ours freedom and the rest of the world. AH, bayonet training, Ft. Lenard...

Phil, What does CARB have to say about the Onan? Is it legal in CA? I am a bit confused at to what is legal or not on my 2006. I THINK my ProHeat is legal because of the age of the truck, not sure though. I can tell you one thing, when my ProHeat works it works well, it just breaks on thing or...

They will be increasing greatly as Obama weakens our military, just as they increased greatly under the first J.C. (Jimmy Carter). We are going to be the laughing stock of the big time countries, a bunch of whimps. They know they can threaten us and get away with it so they will. Everyone of...

It is NOT hogwash to me. The only reason they would use those kinds of pics today would be for the wrong reasons. It would NOT be to honor those who gave thier all. I tell you one thing for sure, if I ever get a phone call from any news organization to use pics of a reletives casket they will...

We are at the "J" in Carlise, PA for the night. Then off to York tomorrow. We pick up Monday in Harrisburg. Will spend Sat and Sun visiting friends in the York area. If your at the "J" tonight, drop in. Layoutshooter

The Vince Lombardi is not bad. We have done well out of Bordentown, most of our loads out of NYC have more than enough time to get in from there. Besides, we enjoy parking out in "Expediter Row" and having the chance to talk with other expediters. Shoot, we even talk to non-FedEx drivers!!! LOL...

WOW Moot, you must be REALLY old to remember that one!!! LOL Layoutshooter

I am not sure if Phil understood what I meant. The one price I heard, not confirmed yet, was $100 to dial down going in and $100 to dial back up coming out. It would have to pay very well to give up $200 bucks on a load, not to mention the time involed. I would also be willing to bet that many...
