    Liar, Cheat, Fool

    I spent 20 years with the FEDs, they suck to work for. They WILL just throw you away when the use you up. Just do your homework, be sure before you jump and if you do invest your 401k when you leave. Layoutshooter

    Mexican Trucks not needed on U.S. Roads

    I doubt if phone calls/letters etc will help unless there are a zillion of them. Most politians can't read anyway. If they can they are too drunk or drugged most of the time to read what mail they get. Only action will work. There are two groups of people in this country that hold the REAL...

    Liar, Cheat, Fool

    Padlocks

    I have switched to the master locks that are vinyl coated and have a plug over the key hole. Have not had a problem since. I always take them off when I get the truck washed. I clean them often. I bought them at Lowes. They came in a 2 pack for $30.00. I like having two locks keyed the same. GO...

    Anti-Freeze Disappearing

    Check your oil and see if it is showing up in it. I had a problem like your talking about. It took us quite awhile to find it. There was fluid leaking from a loose hose clamp. It only leaked when the truck was shut down and cooling off. It did not leak every time we shut down either. We found it...

    Ticket for in cab control

    Who would have to pay that ticket? The driver or the owner of the truck? Seems that would be unfair to a person/team that drives another persons truck. We had problems in Canada but skated by without a ticket. Layoutshooter

    Used IdleAire for the first time

    IdleAire is getting close to costing the same as fuel for idling. You still have a savings on engine hours. We like it when we are waiting for a load. You can check out anytime, unlike a motel when you pay for the night and leave 2 hours later. If we know when the next load is or are stopping...
