    What an overkill, who is really at fault?

    Most of you have heard of the “scare†in Boston but after reading all that happened, I question the need to demand payment for damages and arresting people over something that happened in other cities and no one panicked in those cities. I think that the city of Boston overreacted and needs...

    Tire troubles

    I really don’t know how to say this other than you should not trust the shipper or the company that you work for and it really is your own fault (don’t take that personal). I do agree with both Leo and nightcreacher but you got to do due diligenece to CYA regaurdless. If the shipper puts...

    I Shouldn't be Alive

    What common sense? I may sound cruel here but with that specific incident, why isn't the kid being taken away for cruelty and maybe the parents should be charged? The same goes for the story posted here on EO's front page, "Trucker delivers cargo, and then delivers her baby at roadside...

    Interesting post

    Aviator I didn't want to offend you, if I have. I find the term being used more and more without regards to the meaning, as is insurgence in place of terrorist.

    Interesting post

    I ran across this site http://www.op-for.com/ and went through the posts. I found this; A "Mercenary" Perspective By Lightning "I've been a bit remiss in my posting over the past few weeks. I hope you'll excuse my absence. I have dropped in from time to time to read some of the topics and...

    reducing wear on your equipment

    Now please remind me, which APU units use the heater strip in the sleeper module? I have been told that the heater strip don't heat as well as the heating system that uses the coolant of the APU engine. By the way Leo, I got two heaters now, one for the wife and one for the truck. and I got a...

    load offers by text message

    I don't think that they need to call every time for every offer but I can tell you they need to call if the truck is on the move or under load. I can not tell you the amount of times I have had to pull over to look at the QC and respond to a predispatch offfer. I know that they know (of can...

    reducing wear on your equipment

    Leo, I first read this and thought of my great uncle. He would hold the turn signal to the detent position, not engaging the detent at all so not to wear out the turn signal control. But after my laugh, I read it again. So I got to thank you, you gave me a solution to my wifes complaints...

    Visteon to close Connersville, IN plant Sept 1

    Ace, I understand what your getting at but let's face it the days of a closed market society are over with and we don't have much choice in the matter. We didn't learn any lessons from the UK when they went through all of this. You focused on cars but look at computers, what do we really...

    Starter continues to crank W/Key OFF

    redytrk let me ask you this; was the truck running when the starter would not shut off? Or to phrase it better, was the truck cranking when this happened? If the people tell you that this is a common thing, it really isn't. I find watching some of the maintainance that goes on with these...

    Visteon to close Connersville, IN plant Sept 1

    Yea I heard that before it hit the press. I think this illistrates my point, the Taurus was still selling good but they wanted to close Atlanta - going in circles? The other thing I heard is that they will stop building the 500/taurus here and move it to the place where the platform was...

    Try Again???

    OK, I wrote a few post about what I went through buying a used truck. Depending on what it is and where it is makes a difference with the quality of the dealership. I would take your time, I would have the truck Vischecked, engine dyno'ed, the oil and coolant analysed and the ECM dumped...
