    No, people think Chiropractors are "Quacks" because you can go to 10 different Chiropractors and receive a thoroughly different diagnosis from each one of them. One will tell you that your left leg is shorter than your right leg, another will tell you your right leg is shorter than your left...

    What happened to long runs?

    It really is that simple, isn't it? I wonder why that's such a hard concept for so many to grasp.

    How Far To Far

    hehe yeah, but I've experienced 115 temps in Saint George, UT at 15% humidity and wasn't really uncomfortable, until I got to Ft Smith, AR where it was 85 degrees and 90% humidity. :) I had delivered in Los Indios at around 9AM that day, and headed on over to Brownsville for the 1300 pickup...

    How Far To Far

    Another 10 days? Probably not. That's where good communication with your dispatch is important. I woulds think that, at the worst, deadheading to Dallas would have been the way to go, but again each company and where they get freight makes all the difference. If your carrier rarely, or never...

    this is amazing

    Brown's Gas is the same thing that this thread has been talking about, only it redirects the hydrogen and oxygen into the intake giving you a more efficient burn mixture. A clean air filter and a tuning module will actually yield the same results. In Brown's Gas the gases are broken down using...

    How many are Pro-War?

    If you knew someone was planning to come to your house and blow it up, would you be better off standing out in the front yard with a gun waiting for them to get there, or would you be better off going to them, where they are, and dealing with them on their soil rather than letting them even get...

    Crashed Old Yeller

    Any angel worth their salt would have slapped him in the face and woke him up before he crashed.:D

    How Far To Far

    Dallas to Dallas, 460 miles. :) Too funny. (Obviously, Dallas to Memphis). Did you know that Brownsville to Brownsville is 788 miles? Ran that one the other day. :p OK, it was a round-tripper. Picked up parts in Brownsville, took them to north of Austin where they machined the parts as I slept...

    Cisco Pumps Shut Down Again

    Yeah, it's being discussed. Oil companies and gas station owners are lining up with a plethora of reasons why the fuel pumps can't be upgraded, all of which ignore the ease and speed of which Canadian stations managed to convert their pumps when it was discovered that cold fuel was costing them...

    Double Nickles

    Interesting about the candidates not mentioning this. By a show of hands, who remembers Hillary Clinton talking about this very subject at the National Press Club two years ago? Nobody? She backed off of it pretty quick, tho. And at least she conceded thatit would be too unpopular to...

    Cisco Pumps Shut Down Again

    Seems like a lot of trouble when all that's necessary to legally rip people off is to put tank heaters in to heat the fuel. :)

    question

    Like Charles, a permanent bunk with a place to sleep while loaded was important for me. I spent far too many a night in a short wheelbase E-350 with two skids pushed up against the back of the seat and no place to sleep. Getting sleep, quality sleep, and enough of it, is paramount out here. It...

    How Far To Far

    There's no hard rules to go by, but generally speaking most cargo vans will want to keep their deadhead percent of all miles in the 20-30% range. Less than 20% and you're probably not moving often enough to where the freight is, and more than 30% and you're probably chasing freight and moving...

    rust fighter

    That's a big turn off for me, too. If they're so proud of their product, why are they ashamed of their prices? Is it because they prefer to at least make the attempt at ripping me off once they get my interest? Be that as it may, on the CounterAct home page, there's that great big Buy...

    How many are Pro-War?

    I agree completely. With the three branches of government and the checks and balances in place, there is only so much damage any one president can do. That's not to say a particular president can't do a lot of damage, because they can. They all make mistakes, some make more than others, and some...

    Self Imposed Deadhead

    Perhaps "Reign Over Ignorance" is more accurate than "Reign of Ignorance." I did not mean to suggest that fleet owners were ignorant, but rather that many drivers are.

    So you think McCain is Pro troops, Think Again!

    Sure you could. You could have posted a link instead of the entire article. :D Propaganda is merely the spreading of information to promote a cause. Propaganda can be pure lies, or it can be stone cold fact. Religious beliefs are, in fact, propaganda.

    So you think McCain is Pro troops, Think Again!

    Make no mistake, your convictions are based on your perspective. How you interpret things, how you look at them, that's the perspective from which all of your convictions are formed. They have to be, otherwise, you're sheep. "Actually the cult thing is funny because I belong to no religion or...

    So you think McCain is Pro troops, Think Again!

    I can change my interpretation if you like. You just let me know the correct way, and I'll reinterpret it to suit you. Because, of course, unless I think like you do, I'm wrong. That's the beauty of the Bible - anyone can interpret it in any way they see fit to achieve whatever goals they...
