Is it just me or are wiper blades getting worse? I cannot seem to find a blade that will work properly on my truck. I have tried 6 or 7 different brands, types, sizes and they all seem to streak or miss entire areas of the windshield. They also freeze and then they really miss the glass. When I...

I can tell you one thing for sure, I will not buy a new or used truck from the dealer I bought this one from. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I learned my lesson. Layoutshooter

I find it amazing. The "J" is in chapter 11 right now. I was at the "J" in Rock Hill, SC the other day. I came out of the shower and went to sit in the TV lounge to wait on my wife to finish her shower. (she always takes 3-5 years longer than I do) I was not able to sit in the lounge because...

I want to make one thing clear. I did NOT write the sentence below. It was part of an email from my carriers safety department. They talked with D.O.T. to confirm what I asked. I left off the name of the person who wrote this, I did not think it right to post names of people without permission...

I have tried to find a place online but have not found one. You can buy the game on the NFL site if I rememeber correctly but I never found a free site. Layoutshooter

Yes, it is very distasteful. Layoutshooter

The shipper will ship it if you will take it. It is a D.O.T. reg. I too have hauled class 1 on my reefer truck. I made the mistake of assuming that the shipper knew what they were doing. Then I went to pick up a load at a place in VA. I had asked my dispatch several times if they would load a...

Just be careful. I am sure a class 1 that required heating or cooling came with it's own exemption. As to "normal" class 1 loads, I checked with my carrier and they said that I am totally correct, it is not legal unless the tank is drained. Below is the note from out safety person. That is why I...

No Moot, I was not speaking of owning or not owning a gun. I was speaking in general. I can honestly say that no movie to date, that I have seen, has made me want to own or not own anything. To me movies are just pretend and only for entertainment. I might have to bow to Turtle's observation on...

You are of course correct as far as military law goes. As a "MAN" my law takes precidence. That is why I only did one enlistment in the Military. I am too head strong and would never do anything that goes against my beliefs. The military and I had a great 3 year relationship. They stayed out of...

Yea, betcha pennies to dollars that none of these polititions will go to jail for not paying THIER taxes. In fact, they will raise our taxes to pick up thier slack. Layoutshooter

Every run has to be taken as a seperate business decision, including Canadian runs. Some are worth it, some are not. The new speed limiter regs Ontario and Quebec might change my outlook on that but as of now I use my normal citeria to decide if a Canadian run will make us money. Layoutshooter

I suspose you could, providing you have room for the fuel in your main tanks. You would still have the problem of the fuel filters. Then you would have to have new filters and have to insure that you had no air in the reefer fuel system etc. A lot of hassel. Right now I my case it does not...

I am well aware that this is most likely bs, but, my statement still holds true. IF, I was still in the service of the Nation, and IF I were to recieve such an order, the only salute that Obama or any President that would have the oddasity to issue such an order would get, would be a proud and...

I am a nobody too. Layoutshooter

They used to trailer thier boats down to Cabela's in Dundee or Gander Mountian in Taylor MI when I worked at those stores. They would buy electronics, fish finders etc, and pay to have them installed or sit out in the parking lots and install them themselfs prior to going back across into...

LOL, no, I am not loosing sleep. I just marvel in the stupidity of most everything that involes a government agency. Layoutshooter

Yes, Europe has a different attitude than North America. It is not quite that simple. Many Canadian Provences and U.S. States are bigger than many COUNTRIES in Europe. We often have to drive much further distances to do everyday things compared to Europe. North Americans also "DO THINGS" that...

As you may or may not know it is illegal to put any class 1 explosive on a truck with a "cargo box heater" unless the unit has been disconected and the fuel tank(s) drained. Since I have no good way to do this I have taken our "explosives flag" off of the truck. I might understand not running...

That is my plan, I want to do away with the Dumbecrats and the Rebumlicans. What are you guys gonna do up there? I would bet money your garden slugs (politions) are as bad as ours. I know for a fact cheating on taxes up there is a participation sport. I used to have Canadians come into the...
