Yes, indeed. It's a rare thing when USA Truck sponsors someone's CDL training, and even more rare is an expediter wannabe. So, congratulations, and welcome, Chris! :D

Depends on the kind of truck. :D

And that's why Blackwater shouldn't be allowed to operate trucks over there.

Well, saying the police "barged into his home" without a warrant isn't exactly what happened. The first call to police came at 6:40 AM, where one police officer responded at 7AM, found the house was dark, saw no signs of life, the complainant wasn't around, and so he left after a few minutes...

Yeah, whoever administers the QC's at your carrier can send it a profile to time out whenever you want it to. Standard profile is for the QC to go into "quiet" status mode as soon as the ignition is turned off (when the ignition is on or the QC is in normal mode, Status is "good). In "good"...

From a Wall Street Journal interview with Bui Tin, a former colonel who served on the general staff of the North Vietnamese army and the government ministry:

Bently: Don't confuse the requirements for having to have a CDL (26,000 pounds) with those that define a Commercial Motor Vehicle (10,001 pounds). You don't have to have a CDL for, say, an 11,000 pound vehicle, but it is a CMV nonetheless, and requires logging and scaling, and all the other...

Skip the AC gauge, unless you really know what you're doing. I'd be leery of getting into the integrity of that system unless you have the proper tools. Take the fuse into an Autozone or wherever and have them test the fuse. If it's bad you can get the replacement there. Then change the cabin...

There are two data plans for the Droid. One is the $29.99 Unlimited Data Plan for Web and e-mail, and the other is the Mobile Broadband plan, that is to be use while tethering, and is capped at 5GB. The $29.99 plan specifically prohibits tethering in the Terms of Service of the plan. I bring...

There ya go. Same question needs to be asked for paying extra for a raised roof and extended doors, or for that matter a Sprinter. If you are with a carrier that skews things towards tall freight for your loads, then it might be worth it. But in general, paying extra for a taller van is not...

I never had the blower motor checked out, but my regular mechanic said that sometimes as they begin to go bad, it takes a certain amount of current to make 'em move. Dirty, crudded, corroded, or as the bushings go bad the last time the fan stops it stops juuuuust a little out of line and it...

Yeah, I know, but the reason I brought it up is when my fan went, it was the classic symptoms of a bad resistor, it would still work on 4, but not on any other speed. But the resistor checked out fine. I replaced the fan, still have the original resistor in there. Still, if mine started doing...

Final cost of engine, and dealer you got it from. We gotta know both.

Sometimes it's fun spending 4 or 5 weeks and $5000 trying to save, uhm, $5000. :D

No aux fan sounds like a fuse, or a multifunction relay, probably under the seat. Check the fuses first, then the relays. The right half of the lights sounds like a fuse, but then again those bulbs burn out on their own, as well. Fan working only on high speed is a classic blower resistor...

Sitting at home with broadband cable or something, streaming is fine. But out here on the road, either the connection won't allow it, or the GB bandwidth caps make it impractical. Most often out here you'll get between 250-800k speeds, with brilliant flashes of 1.5Mb speeds on occasion, but for...

To be replaced with.......?

I do carry a tripod with me, but I confess I don't use it all that often. I'll usually just grab the camera and start snapping, usually only playing with F-stops or focal points. I don't mess too much with slow shutter speeds (from 1/3200 to 15 seconds) unless I have the tripod out. It's a Canon...

I never said that those who don't trust him are wackos simply by virtue of their mistrust. It's the wackos who are looking at every nutjob angle they can come up with, including making some up, to try and "get him". I don't trust him either, and I will criticize him when necessary. But I at...
