    anyone getting loads?

    "But why replace them if you have alot of drivers sitting and sitting waiting for a load??" It's because there are too many sitting in one place, not because there are too many in total. If you spend most of your time in the Midwest you'll often notice there are more vans than loads. With many...

    Yeap, he pretty much hit it out of the park here

    Well, for the most part, the armies of lawyers in Minnesota are at work because someone wants to win, and they want to win really bad, so they're trying everything they can come up with to wrestle a victory out of it. The laws in Minnesota aren't all that complicated, they're pretty straight...

    Yeap, he pretty much hit it out of the park here

    Every time I see the sign that says "Report fuel tax evasion" I want rip the sign off the pole and stomp on it. OK, sure, "Report drunk drivers," I can get on board with that one, as drunk drivers are a danger to everyone. But to snitch on fuel tax evaders just smacks of Soviet style Communism...

    AWB closer then you think

    The problem stems from private ownership of military arms. They think hunting rifles is good enough, shotguns, maybe a few handguns. But not military weapons. Then again, how can you possibly have a well regulated militia when you arm it with hunting weapons and then expect them to fight...

    Harry Reid to THE Rescue..

    Well, I'm one of those who thinks that we should post a guard every 100 feet along the Mexican border, and if anyone tries to come across illegally, just shoot 'em. Half a dozen or so of that and the illegal immigration, and the illegal drug smuggling trade, would grind to a screeching halt. I...

    Think it Can't Happen Here!?!?

    It's all the government's fault and that silly Food Pyramid that they brainwashed into believing. It is a Food Pyramid that causes Type II Diabetes. It's a Pyramid that is loaded, loaded, loaded with grains and other starches, many of which have been processed to remove the very substances that...

    Yeap, he pretty much hit it out of the park here

    I don't think he hit it out of the park at all. At best it's a bunt. He's got the highlights of a few situations and is applying them across the board. Our election laws hardly require armies of lawyers except in the most bizarre of circumstances. He talks of American politics and how it...

    Harry Reid to THE Rescue..

    Putting up a wall along the southern border is just plain stoooopid. If you put up a wall then you have to have guards in place to guard it. But if you have guards in place to guard it, ta-da!, duh, you don't need the wall in the first place.

    Gutting security: O’s dangerous anti-terror picks

    I'm just havin' fun here, too. :D But, don't give me too much credit in the cartoon department. In the best tradition of the Internet, I blatantly stole it, edited it, then passed it off as my own.

    AWB closer then you think

    "I do believe "Right to Bare arm" meaning the government can dictate which ones to bare." Spelling mistakes aside, that's a scary notion. A government of The People, by The People and for The People shouldn't be dictating squat. Like Layout said, the purpose of the Constitution is to limit...

    So, you're rooting for him to fail, then? Okaaayeee. Thanks, then, I guess, for you wishing that bad things happen to me and my fellow citizens.

    Flying J Towing Scam

    I would argue that I'm not in a delivery van. I'm in freight-capable RV. :D Did he want you to park in a big truck spot? Aside from being rude and inconsiderate to big trucks, I've seen what happens to vans and small RV's who park in a big truck spot. It's not pretty.

    We're saved, HALLELUJAH we're SAVED!!!

    I read the analysis that was posted online. It's a little Clinton-esque in that it won't actually create 4.1 million jobs (the report analysis actually states 3.65 million), but it will create or save a total of 3.65 million job in the aggregate. (It's like the Clinton Budget, where we spend $50...

    Flying J Towing Scam

    The cost of the report nor environmental impact were mentioned. Nor is any kind of entitlement mentality. It is "a study to determine the location and quantity of parking facilities at commercial truck stops and travel plazas and public rest areas that could be used by motor carriers...

    US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration FINAL REPORT: Study of Adequacy of Commercial Truck Parking Facilities - Technical Report FHWA-RD-01-158 March 2002 It's a mind-numbing read, but the Executive Summary is worth scanning, and the Summary and Conclusions in particular...

    Flying J Towing Scam

    Driving down the road in a van I can see the severe lack of truck parking, and I cringe at the thought of moving up to a larger vehicle. I can park pretty much where I want (the TA's in Ontario, California being a notable exception), but for big trucks it's getting to the point where the best...

    Feedback needed for Sprinter

    Some off market replacement parts are fine. But, for example, on eBay you'll find a dirt cheap O2 sensor. You get what you pay for. :) As for mixing chemicals, just keep in mind that when you mix two different chemicals, you end up with a third chemical. Ah, but they did. So did other...

    Yep, it's not the corrosion of the inside of the aluminum that's the problem, especially if it is flushed and renewed on a regular basis, it's the various seals, pump parts and other non-aluminum parts that go first. Water pump goes, or a heater core goes, and not many people, wrenches included...
