I have, too. But not 50 cents. And talking with someone at Panther who knows for sure, neither have they. I've never been offered one at 65 cents out of south Texas, but 3 weeks ago I got one out of McAllen at 67 cents, plus a 13 cent FSC for a total of 80 cents. Panther got paid 90 cents for...

2010-12-13 T21:01:25 SANTA ANA, Calif. — An inmate in California who disliked salami was able to receive kosher meals after his attorney cited the "Seinfeld" holiday Festivus as his religious belief. The Orange County Register reported Monday that 38-year-old convicted drug...

Funny thing is, Moot's reply was not to the OP, but to Dave, as noted in Moot's reply when he quoted Dave. So it's Dave who is to blame. Yeah, Dave! Let's get him! Hey, wait, where's my pitchfork? Didn't anybody bring a shovel, either? Alright, who took the torch? Good grief. How am I supposed...

I'm 5'9" and I sleep on my side, always. Well, sometimes the other side.

The thing is, you can run loads crisscrossing Midwest Hеll all week long, 5 or 6 loads, sit another two days over the weekend, and at the end of it all you're at 1500 miles, or less. Or, you can sit in Laredo for a week, get one run for 1500 miles, same thing. Except less deadhead. :D Whenever...

Yeah, but Fan Boys fits so many things, from comic book fanboys to Star Wars fanboys. I've always called then Mac Heads. But Apple Fanboys works. Not that there's anything wrong with that. You've sen pictures of Assange, right? He just looks like a Machead. That's because he is. :D

The overview of an atlas-type mapping program is nice, and necessary, and it was the first thing I didn't like about the Garmin, because I was so used to DeLorme and Streets & Trips where I seamlessly used the atlas overview and the routing at the same time. But it didn't take me very long to...

Sometimes no money is better than a little money. Cost Per Mile is Cost Per Mile, always. 50 cents a mile is great if it takes you someplace you want to be, rather than deadheaing on your own dime to get there, but that someplace needs to be a real place and not just "outta here", 'cause 50...

To take all of your 40k and buy a Sprinter, and then have zero in the bank? That's the classic mistake that far too many getting into this business have made, and all of them paid dearly for it. No matter what, you want a minimum of five thousand in the bank when you start, and that's after...

If it was a loaded gun, or there was an unloaded gun laying right there next to the ammo, he'd have been arrested. For ammo with no gun, nobody is gonna get arrested, unless you make a big stink when they try to take the ammo away.

Just kidding, but pics of a self-install might benefit some people. :D How did you handle the airflow, heat output and cold air input, insofar as where the duct work goes? Is the van well insulated?

DeLorme is pretty awesome software because it has a large business industrial database where it will find manufacturing facilities and even LTL terminals by name. There's no other Windows mapping program that does that. But for Mac native mapping and routing software, the only decent one I...

I have a Sprinter, 2.7 liter, 154 horsepower behemoth. GGGRRRRRR!!!!! It gets me up and down the mountains fully loaded with no problems. How much power do you think you need to haul freight in a van? Unless you're towing a 10,000 pound boat or something, what kind of motor and how much...

I can guarantee you two things, one, the Panther van driver wasn't offered a load from anyone at Panther for 50 cents per mile, and two, if Panther offered any load at a reduced rate of any kind (which reduced rate loads out of south Texas is very likely), they didn't get full rate for the load...

I do love a good irony. That's quite an accomplishment for someone who has been here since November. That "vacuum like hollow sound where creativity and comon sense should be," was particularly amusing, because of, you know, irony. You should probably be aware that the person who called you all...

No, you cannot run a space heater for even 8 hours off of a battery bank, unless the battery bank is just stupid huge. A 1500 Watt space heater will draw 12.5 amps, but that's 120-volts AC current, not 12-volts DC current as via an inverter. When using that through an inverter, since 120 volts...

No, it's a Blue Sea Systems m-Series Battery Switch. Simple ON-OFF switch, since I've got just the one bank.

It's not used, by me at least, because there's no way to delete photos or edit their display order once you've uploaded them. I was starting to upload some pictures, with detailed comments, on how I outfitted and insulated my van, but with the second pic I wanted to change the picture and then...

This is a trucking Web site, so it should be the "The Pickle Park".

Thank you. I am kind of proud of it. I've done a few of these battery installations, mainly in boats. I've seen (and done) messy, and I've seen (and done) neat and tidy, and neat and tidy works way better. Takes some planning, but it's worth it. Often you'll see battery banks that look messy...
