Lavender? Really?

Go and read his Blog. Start here (Phil Madsen's Blog, August, 2009), scroll down to August 19, then keep reading from there.

I'd say so, a year to a year and a half, but like you said it depends on how one works and how many times they deadhead home to Ohio from Houston. I budget one set a year, at least for CPM calculations, but it's a little more than a year between sets. My last set was right at 18 months. But I...

Well, the linked article was clearly written by someone who is anti-vaccine. And they have a lot of facts way wrong, not the least of which is the statement that says, "Our buddies on Capitol Hill passed a law in 2005 that gave the pharmaceutical companies complete immunity from being sued over...

Those Bridgestone (I think) have the same 80,000 mile treadwear warranty as the Michelins, and under normal conditions that's about what you can and should expect as a minimum. If you rotate them routinely and check the inflation weekly, you should get around 100,000 miles out of them, which is...

(if applicable to the rating of the freight) is more of a "dimensional weight" thing, like where air cargo uses both dimensions and weight to rate the freight, and depending on the surface carrier that gets used to shuttle it around, that might be the way it's rated throughout. Most times with...

I drive a van and I have a CDL. Whether or not I could charge more for having a CDL played no role in my decision to bother with investing the time, effort and money to educate myself on my profession and obtain my CDL. I do not see it as wasted time at all, and the paltry amount of money...

Don't confuse Manifest and Bill of Lading. They are different, although they are sometimes merged into a single document. A manifest is simply a packing list, a list of goods being carried. Weight does not need to be listed. For a HAZMAT Manifest, which is a specific type of manifest, yes...

Based on the limited scope of your query, yes, that's exactly what it means. Mere ownership of a straight truck does not make you a driver of any kind, much less a professional one. My comments above were in the context of the original poster's comments. They were not comments for all people...

You're starting from the right end. :) Once you get the cargo area all set up, like you said, what's left over is all yours. You should decide soon if you will be installing side walls along the length of the cargo area. 12" high walls from just inside the read doors to the front edge of the...

If you want to be a professional driver, you need a professional driver's license. Even with no experience, if you have a CDL, people will at least think you're serious about this job because you will have invested the time and effort into learning about it and preparing yourself. You need to do...

I don't know if it'd be wise to put a bead of adhesive down. It wouldn't necessarily be unwise, tho. Mainly, it won't matter one way or the other, until it comes to time to remove the decking, should you ever decide to do that. Adhesive just adds one more thing you gotta deal with, before and...

Obviously, having at least 48" clearance at the top is paramount, nothing else matters. My first van the plywood went down on bare floor and it was fine. If you want to put something down there, make it really thin, like Dynamat. Refelctix could also be used. Plywood is already not a bad...

If I spent more time in Michigan I'd probably get the certificates, too. I've never bought them, tho. I once had to have a tire replaced due to road hazard, but that was like 15 years ago in Hot Springs, AR, a Bridgestone on the Camaro, paid under $10 for the pro rated charge (changing that...

If the FMCSA can figure out a way to hardwire this into a Black Box, they're gonna, you betcha. The Smart Cap Originally designed for miners by Australia's CRC Mining Corporation, the hat monitors a driver's brain waves for signs of fatigue. If the hat determines the driver is sleepy, it...

Here is an online PC Miler with HAZMAT routing, but it will likely give you the same routing that FECC gives you. But, more important, and maybe more helpful, is the National HAZMAT Route Registry from the FMCSA. There used to be a routing program, but it was messed up and didn't actually pay...

On the bright side, prices have been slashed at the Saturn Store on Saturn branded merchandise, like $20 t-shirts for five bucks, $5 baseball caps, and 75 cent pens. Nice $75 watch for $25, too. Now if only they'd slash the prices of their cars by 50% or more.

My non-expanding Great Stuff expanded like crazy. :D It non-expanded right into the door locking mechanism and seized the latch and locking bars on the rear door. That was fun. The Great Stuff™ Big Gap Filler is the triple expanding foam, dries rigid, and can certainly be used for larger...

A student outta OH, a child in Boston, a 12-year old girl in Boston, a student in Bagdad, Arizona, a teen in Dayton, TN (no doubt to commemmorate some anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial), an elementary student in Allentown, PA, a child in Altanta, GA and too many others to recount here have...
