    Hey Dreamer

    There is an old saying that if a million monkeys typed on a million keyboards for a million years, eventually all the works of Shakespeare would be produced. Now, thanks to EO, we know this is not true.

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    The number of logical fallacies in the OP's posting almost defy belief, and certainly give the most logical fallacies within a single post a run for its money. The quoting out of context fallacy The package-deal fallacy The appeal to probability logical fallacy (Probably P... Therefore, P) The...

    I also see there it says you provide "OEM quality Aftermarket" parts, which isn't exactly the same thing as "quality OEM parts", now is it? I've seen genuine OEM parts roll off the line and be labeled as some aftermarket brand, so be sure, but they don't get marketed as OEM parts. But an OEM...

    Sirius XM Weather Channel Cut

    I think the agreement with The Weather Channel expired on September 1, and for whatever reason The Weather Channel didn't want to extend it. Odd, though, since XM and Sirius both used the Weather and Emergency channel to argue not only for their original spectrum space, but for their repeater...

    Espar Heater Question

    I often drive the Sprinter with the Espar running when it's below 30 degrees, as that will keep the van warm and toasty whereas the Sprinter's own heater will struggle to keep the entire thing warm (no bulkhead) when it's that cold. On really cold nights, like in the teens or below, mine will go...

    Reading the Help Wanted Ads on Expediters

    The responsible thing would be to have the owner set up a pay schedule with the carrier, and indicate how the drivers are to be paid, be it 60% or 40%, who gets the FSC, and then the amount of assessorials, all of that worked out in advance so there are no misunderstandings. All set up in the...

    Well, exactly. It doesn't add up, especially in a down economy. I'm certainly not aware of any medium or heavy truck that requires upwards of 20 pipes each. Even if you include everything, everything, including John Deere and all the pipes that go into furniture. A year's production at 25,000 a...

    "The reason it became 25,000 is due to a new line we added, plus the purchase of 2 facilities, in total we have 4 facilities." New line? You were already the OEM for, like, everybody. I just think that, even with doubling the size of you facilities, managing to nearly double the output in the...

    barry appoints Asian Carp Czar....

    Geezus. An Asian carp czar sounds like a czar who is an Asian carp. Will we see life imitating art when the Pig czar and the Asian carp czar duke it out in the men's room?

    September Banter thread

    No, you're right. The original of the modern word is expeditor, and is technically the correct spelling, although at this point both are equally correct and have identical definitions. The word origin of "expedite" is from the Latin expedīre, which is literally to free (ex) the feet (ped)...

    September location and banter thread,with no location or banter.

    You just signed up, this is your third post, and are now taking ownership of threads? Wow. I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling that this might be a regular with multiple screen names. Just a guess.

    This is an example of what I mean when I say the more he types, the more things don't add up: What difference can it possibly make, since I picked up at manufacturing locations that you've already said were not Truckpipes facilities. As far as a NDA and keeping patent-pending things a...

    Re:double posts

    Re: double posts Well, yeah, Sister Sarah, but it will bypass the VZAccess Manager, which is constantly trying to muck things up, poking it's nose into where it doesn't belong, slowing things down and dropping connections all the time. You'll need to use the Access Manager when connecting to...

    Re: double posts Don't use that POS Connection Manager. The Aircard is a modem. Just create a Dialup Networking conenction shortcut on the desktop. Dial #777 no password needed.

    Also, off-topic but hopefully useful information.... The TA announced last week that they are honoring the AAA membership card for 10% off on food purchases in the sit-down and fast food restaurants. The announcement said at "participating" locations, so there might be a handful of locations...

    Where do you get your Truck Pipes From?

    Well, Panther makes Riddell football helmets for the NFL and Bell motorcycle helmets. Panther is also the third largest manufacturer of college and high school class rings and yearbooks. No, really. It's true.

    I'm not really boycotting them, per se, since a boycott is technically when you abstain from or prevent any dealing with someone or some business as means of intimidation or coercion. Like, "Boycott them until they give us back out free showers!" No, that's not what I'm doing. As a result of the...
