    Paid tourism

    Over at the POI Factory | new & interesting places for your GPS there's a "All States Offbeat Tourist Attractions" POI file for your GPS unit, too. It's a lot of fun. It'll direct you to the World's Largest Peanut in Durant, OK, or the car-sized sneaker in New Castle, IN. Then there's the...

    Bad fuel?

    For the fuel recharge thing, that was 04 and earlier models. The 05's and later have different fuel filters. As for the problem, it's not really an EGR valve problem, per se. It's a combination, electronically, of the EGR sensor and the MAS sensor that causes the computer to thing there is a...

    Paid tourism

    The desert southwest is always a favorite. The Grand Canyon, for sure. It's true, that's the one thing every American needs to see. No pictures will ever do that place justice. The other areas around there, like Zion, and especially Bryce Canyon, and I'll go out of my way to drive through Page...

    3% of trucking capacity GONE

    It costs less to refine, but it's that recent dramatic increase in demand that's causing it to cost so much. (Never mind that fact that there hadn't been any increase in demand.)

    Yeah. Well, I'm leased on to them. They think I drive for them, though. But I drive for myself. ;)

    3% of trucking capacity GONE

    I just think it's funny that with all the reduced miles, lower tonnage and fewer trucks, not to mention the industry's own records showing otherwise, the oil industry keeps banging away at increased demand for diesel as a contributing factor in the prices.

    Shockingly, they're wrong. You're on the Sudbury board, but you're not in the Sudbury Zip Code, that's for sure. Sudbury is 45 miles northeast of you. Massachusetts has two boards, Sudbury and West Chesterfield. Actually, it's just Chesterfield, a little bitty nothing in western central...

    That's actually an issue that I'm going to bring up to someone pretty soon. Straight trucks and tractors can move up to 30 minutes without starting their clock, but for a van it's one mile.

    A few things. One, if you need to move, then move. Live your life. If you lose your board position, so what? It's not like you'll never be offered another load again. If you miss a load, then you miss a load. There will be another one. Do you have any idea how many loads you miss out on because...

    Bolo

    LOL Yeah, me too. Problem with Bloomies is, they're gonna cost way more than Cheri's gonna want to spend for a trucker's work shirt. $120, $130, probably. Designer silk ain't cheap, although, you'd think it would be, since it all comes from China.
