    Panther seems to be taking Memphis By Storm

    Do you actually think I was correcting his spelling? Really? is that what you got out of all that? Good grief is right. The EO servers don't have enough storage for me to start correcting the spelling in his posts. Can you not recognize humor when it smashes you in the face?

    Panther seems to be taking Memphis By Storm

    So? Oh! Yeah, I forgot, you can be in no condition to drive, and that's OK if you drive a tractor trailer. BTW, it's tortoise, not tortis. Tortis is the #1 manufacturer of guitar picks and pick guards, whereas a tortoise is, well, me!

    Racism where???

    "A black woman saw the sticker and told him his boss was a racist. He said he owned the company and the truck. She called him an Uncle Tom." And there you have it. The candidates have tried their dead level best to pretend race is not an issue, to even pretend racism doesn't exist, but everyone...

    Panther seems to be taking Memphis By Storm

    Well, if anyone at Custom Critical reads your posts on EO, the only conclusion they will come to is that you are in no condition to drive.

    Sprinter Heater Settings

    Yes, and it just recently started doing that. Another related thing that happens is when the AC is on (been out in AZ, CA and NV the last few weeks) it will blow bone-chillin' cold out of the upper dash vents, but sometimes it's hotter'n blue blazes coming out of the front dash vents...

    Cheap fuel!!!!

    Remember when you went nuts at $2.00 diesel, and then just got mad when it went up to $2.50? And now $2.97 is not just cheap fuel, but 4-exclamation-mark cheap. Something happens in the Gulf or the ever-popular "unrest in the Middle East" and the price of crude goes up, and in a matter of...

    Spread The Wealth

    LOL, and updated oldie but goodie. That one's been around a long time, even before the Knoxville newspaper ran it as a "hero" story where a truck driver had pulled over to check on someone who looked like they were in trouble, only to find out that it was biscuit dough. I have a feeling the...

    Sprinter Heater Settings

    On the dial there where the AC button is up there at the 12:00 o'clock position, and the REST button is in the 6:00 o'clock position... you know what the one in the 9:00 o'clock position is for, right? Actually, it's one long horizontal button. It's the Heater Booster button. When ON, and the...

    Slush Busters revisited

    JC Whitney carries them. Next time ya pass by their distribution center in Illinois go by and grab a pair. But, they charge more for them than the above link.

    Such I great post I hate to see it buried in the soapbox

    The Internet in general, and the Soapbox in particular, is nothing more than the funny papers. Soon as you start taking it too seriously you're in trouble. I don't always succeed, but I try, try, try my best to reply to what was written rather than to who wrote it. There are a lot of reasons...

    Feds disrupt skinhead plot to assassinate Obama

    A very creative method invented by Clinton, actually. Similar to what he did with the budgets and called them deficit and budget reductions, like where some program is budgeted for $40 million, and on the next proposed budget it's $60 million, so he cuts it to $50 million and calls that a...

    Such I great post I hate to see it buried in the soapbox

    I dunno. Seems a little blowhard-ish and chest-pounding to me. If he's seriously serious about it, 10 years later wouldn't be a deterent now that he knows what he knows, and now that he can see the future with clarity and all that. I don't think he's serious, tho. Huh? Why? Not everyone cares...

    Such I great post I hate to see it buried in the soapbox

    "Such I great post I hate to see it buried in the soapbox" Considering that the thread contains nothing whatsoever about expediting, the Soapbox is precisely where it belongs. And by you moving a portion of it here, out of context, and without comment on your part other than going out of your...

    Feds disrupt skinhead plot to assassinate Obama

    People think this country is ready for a black president. It's not. It should be, but it's not. The racial divides run deep and wide, and if Obama is elected the racism (on both sides) that's there lurking under the surface will explode. Every time Obama does something that helps black folks...

    Why don't people get it?

    That is easily the worst analogy I have ever read, as it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with wealth redistribution. Not giving you the new truck and not giving you the bonus is not a redistribution of wealth, it's a breach of contract. Excuses, but he kept the wealth right where it was...

    Why don't people get it?

    Nobody said he didn't have the right to wear an Obama tie. But, if he's going to make a statement, be it verbal or via a tie, then he has to be prepared to accept the consequences of making the statement. Excellent consequential example. It was the waiter who introduced politics into, and as a...

    Is this normal?

    The DOT requires a certain number of random drug tests, and most carriers will lump cargo van drivers into that mix in order to make it easier to achieve the quota, as well as many insurers require it even if you're in a van and don't have a CDL. As for the compliance guy at Nations, I think...

    cargo van heat

    The D5, man that's a big heater. That's for large boats, trailers, stuff like that. That should keep ya warm and toasty. :) I have the D4, which is not much different, tho. The $1500 buck for a heater sounds like a stoopid amount to pay for a heater (I have the larger D4 at $2000), but it'll...

    haz mad

    OK, the use of the term "Camry" was for humor. Replace "Camry" with "Expedite Cargo Van" or any other for-profit term you like, and all else still applies. As for not hauling any amount of HAZMAT without an endorsement, well, yeah, cause it's HAZMAT and you need a HAZMAT endorsement to haul it...
