The new law out there is about as retarded as it gets. They can have the same exact Happy Meal as always, jut no free toy with it. If they want to include a free toy, they have to do all the silly things, like keep the fat calories from no more than 30% from fat (as if carb calories are...

Yup. It's about ad revenue. That's why you find so many Web sites that are essentially the same things over and over, often with one guy operating dozens or hundreds of them. Most of the time it's about ad revenue, but many of the also believe the stuff they're shoveling, and they figure as long...

I'm a Garmin guy for several reasons, not the least of which is that's the interface I'm used to and like, but also because I know it's the most accurate as far as mapping and routing goes. I'm also in a van and don't need most of the truck specific features, and my carrier won't put HAZMAT on a...

Yeah, same truck, different set of pictures. The opriginal pictures you was were hosted on a site that went belly up, so they aren't in the http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/22494-trickin-das-sprinter-teil-zwei.html thread anymore. There is some good information in the text that...

My paramount consideration was to be able to sleep while loaded, no ifs, ands or buts. I spent far too long in a short wheelbase E-350 where 2 skids would be right up next to the back of the driver's seat. Too many Friday pickups for Monday delivery and no place whatsoever to sleep. A real...

The Google Night Sky app is really amazing. You point the Droid (or whatever) towards a celestial body, and because the phone knows where it is and how it is oriented, it will ID the star, planet or galaxy. You can search for one, too, like the "moon" and the Droid will direct you in which way...

Just keep in mind that the PC Miler GPS unit is not PC Miler. If you'd asked for the price of the software when you called, then compared that to the price of the standalone unit, you'd immediately see that there is no way that ALK is going to take a $2500 software package with a $1000 add-on...

"Members of the Muslim community called the question an attack on Islam and some of them said they are prepared to file a lawsuit challenging the measure." And they're right. And it'll probably be successfully challenged in court. It was prompted by the fear if Sharia law becoming the law of...

There's an app for the Droid and iPhone that works by picking up the ADS-B transmissions from the plane. The Android version works like Google Night Sky in that you can just point the phone at a plane in the air (or just up in the air if you can't even see the planes up there), and it will ID...

Roughly 40% of the people will always vote Republican, and roughly 40% of the people will always vote Democrat. The other 20% can think for themselves, and will vote for who they want to represent them, rather than for a political party, and they're the ones that swing an election one way or the...

The fine citizens of the western states know how to build loading docks and ramps to standards, just like people in the other states do. There are also, believe it or not, non-refrigerated loads that get picked up and delivered in the western states, same as the rest of the states.

2000 miles a week, week after week, some more, some less, over the course of 50 weeks, is 100,000 loaded miles in a year. 3000 miles a week, week after week, some more, some less, over the course of 50 weeks, is 150,000 loaded miles in a year. Good luck with that.

On ACORN's Website, Head Nut Bertha Lewis posted a final parting shot, er, em, I mean statement. In it said ACORN was the victim of its own “highly effective strategies” that succeeded in “catching the attention of right-wing media and its proponents.”And that ACORN was subjected to a “barrage...

I'd comment, but I really try to avoid voicing my opinions on political matters.

Yes, PC Miler can be run on a laptop of a desktop. It will, absolutely, do what you want. But it is not a standalone GPS unit if that's what you're after. Also, it is not the same, not even remotely close, to the PC Miler standalone GPS unit, even though it carries the same name, so DO NOT...

If you want the best truck-specific features, and HAZMAT routing, the Rand McNally is the best of the bunch. It has a lot of shortcomings, though. No GPS unit is perfect. They all have their shortcomings. Like the Garmin and Tom Tom has better routing in general, but their truck-specific...

All things being equal would also include price, and if the price of a new box is the same as the price of a used one, go with the new one. :D But it mainly depends on two things, one, what is the condition of the used box, and two, how old is the used Class 8 and how long do you plan on using...

Excellent. We've circled around and you've finally grasped what was posted in the third post in this thread. :D The cop was wrong there, just as a cop in Michigan would be wrong in arbitrarily stopping an un-lettered out-of-state cargo van. Well, I think there are a few things at work here. It...
