RE: i will explain it one time more ok I would look into the airbags and the liquid problems, both could have added to the problem. I have felt liquid in totes moving from time to time. They are a pain. Layoutshooter

Yep and his son will be next. Remeber, it is not voter apathy that stops most from voting, it is voter discust. We have to control our government better, they seem to have forgotten that they work FOR us, they DO NOT rule us. it is our fault though, we let them get away with it as long as they...

I thought FedEx still required 4 4ft pieces of 2x4, nails and "plywood decking" It does not say how much decking or thickness etc. They also require 3 rows of e track, floor rings and don't forget the hammer and nails. I have never used decking or 2x4's but will have them when they check me in...

I was always under the impression that planing at the FED was a 9 to 5 type place. We try to ask for a relocation before 4pm to be sure to get them. Most of the time it is not worth the trouble for us. EVERY time we have been given a relocation we got a load from where we were sitting within 5...

That is JUST great!! We JUST went to orientation a little over a week ago, JUST got our COMDATA card, JUST got it set up for electronic transfer of funds into our business checking account. Sure would have been nice if they had said something while we were there. Sure hope we can transfer funds...

What part of MI are you located in? I too live in MI and went into expediting for ecomomic reasons. I agree that a 260 is a bit light. The truck I have been running for the last two years is a 435, the one I just bought is a 450. I will be home most of the day today, if you want to talk, give me...

RE: looking for answers to a couple of questions t I too was told about a helium shortage. I was told this at a Praxair depot when I was picking up a load. The guy there told us that the helium mines in Texas were drying up. I had no idea the stuff was mined. He said that if they did not find...

We will drive a good distance to take a route that will avoid the need to chain up. One time last winter we took a more southern route. It added about 100 mi to the run, but saved 4 days. Donner pass was closed and we talked with many truckers that had been shut down for 4 days waiting...

I agree and my truck will have a locking differential to boot, BUT, some of the Western states will ticket if you get stuck and do not have chains on. Layouthooter

*SIGH* I guess I will have to break down and get a set. ALL that weight and expense for something I will seldom, if ever, use. Wish I could afford the automatic ones, at least I would not have to grovel on the ground in horrible weather to put them on. I have used chain for years on my pick up...

Good luck in the BWCA, good time of year for smallmouth. I agree with nightcreather, I don't think chains should ever be used EXCEPT to get off the road if you get in trouble. I was just wondering what most of you carry out there, if anything. Am I right that D.O.T. does not require them? What...

I need to buy tire chains before winter. I have been reading the laws and now I am REALLY confused. Am I right that in Colorado that all wheels on a single drive axle truck. Cables are not allowed and the only legal alternatives are automatic chains and wheel sanders. What does everyone carry? I...
