    Better Than WD-40

    I don't use a a lot of it. A squirt here, a squirt there. It's not like I'm spraying 3M spray glue or anything. :D

    Which Garmin Nuvi Model is Good?

    If I were to get a Nuvi today, it would be something in the 600 series or higher, probably in the 800 series, but it would have integrated FM traffics, for sure. An 860, 770, 710, 670 or 660, in that order. As Dave points out, the 200 series are mainly throwaways and for the occasional traveler...

    Pressure Washers

    We've got a DeWalt 3800 with the Honda GX engine and Cat pump. It's gnarly. Cleans the aluminum siding on the house and outbuldings in a flash, the wood patio deck, not to mention the vehicles and the horse stalls. Comes with 5 heavy duty quick-change nozzles, and I got the heavy duty rotating...

    He's a drive-by poster. We'll never see him again.

    Where did you say, "Time Out".

    I do that a lot. It's one of the reasons I got into expediting. I took a Time Out when I delivered in Key West. Sat dockside in an open air restaurant and dined on the largest scallops I've ever seen. Delivered to Flagstaff and went out of service for a few days to tour the Grand Canyon...

    Service for Sprinters

    Yeah, there are several rather large differences: The grills are different. The logos on the hub caps are different. The logos on the steering wheel are different. The Freightliner Sprinter has the "Freightliner" badge on the front and the back, while the Dodge Sprinters have a Ram's head...

    Watch your speed

    "...he used to shout at speeders to slow down..." "Dressed in a reflective vest, wearing a bicycle helmet and armed with a Hot Wheels brand radar gun, he points and records the speed of passing traffic." "...resident George Ayers said he has seen drivers lock up their brakes when they saw...

    VW to build in Tennessee

    A "right to work" state doesn't mean no unions, it means that en employee cannot be forced to join a union as a condition of employment, nor can they be fired should they ever decide to quit paying union dues. It means they are free to join, or not to join, as they see fit, but they have a right...

    Cargo Van Tips

    Actually, Kendall GT 1 is a 229.3 oil (MB Specs) Mobile 1 0W-40 is 229.5 Not really the same properties. Not that big a deal in a Ford, like it would be in a Sprinter, but there's a difference in the properties (other than merely the weight and viscosity). The MB Specs, while mainly meaningless...

    What I like about Panther...

    Well, there's not a lot of freight that runs out of Alabama, depending on where you were. West Texas can be real hit and miss, especially over the 4th of July period when nothing is coming out of there. There is very little freight that ever comes out of Kansas, and even less in Louisiana...

    help better identify ourselves

    Naaa. Thought about it, but then I figured it might send the wrong message to a shipper were I to wear it at a pickup. Plus, I never have been, yet, but if I were to ever be late, I'd be wearing that shirt.

    Smart or Stoopid

    28, 56.4% Missed the first couple of questions because I didn't realize it was timed, and timed very short. Missed a couple of others that I would have missed with all the time in the world, tho. :)

    It's getting ugly
