Well I am glad it didn't cost a lot. For that matter it is half of what I paid for my caravan to be fixed - and a third of the cost of my truck. I don't feel so lucky right now I would rather have a plugged o-tube. I have to rip the right side of the dash apart tomorrow to see what is wrong...

>No Greg we dont use that much fuel but we dont want to pay >anymore in taxes they we have. I figured that, lol. Well I don't know much about Reefer fuel, sorry. Stationary Generators are exempt, I would assume that because the APU/Generator is not a primary motive source so i would assume...

Walmart Corporate pulled Power Service out of all of the stores because teenagers were buying the PS products and getting high from sniffing the fumes.. Sorry but Wal-Mart need to pull a lot of stuff of their shelves if this is a legitimate reason. Start with spray paint, Bug spray, 3M...

OK I am going to open my mouth and get a few p*ssed at me with my comments. Dealing with a lot of IT contractor issues in my career, these are exact things that owners should not do or demand out of drivers. Some I ran into think that they are Gods. Before I start my rant, please explain the...
