    It doesn't matter entering the U.S. either. On any given day, at any given U.S. port of entry with any given agent manning the booth, in an empty U.S. plated cargo van the car lane may be the correct lane or the truck lane may be the correct lane. I've been yelled at both and warned to never...

    4-Wheeling OOS, Spring Cleaning : 4-Wheeling

    I don’t know why I’m doing it…I don’t even have a place to set up a bee yard. eb You've got a Sprinter, plenty of room for bees. I got by with raising chinchillas in an extended Chevy.

    This forklift driver has mad skills!

    I like the skill, precision and patience the forklift driver displays in Xiggi's post. But can he drop a container on all twistlock studs first shot?

    This forklift driver has mad skills!

    It is a very cool idea. But as Dan mention, it isn't light. I'm guessing it probably weighs in at 800 pounds or more.

    FedEx Truck, Bus Crash

    I have yet to see mention from the MSM that the car had one of those New Age Crystals hanging from its rear-view mirror. The driver and passenger of the car were channeling through the crystal and the FedEx driver was drawn to the crystal like a moth to a flame. It was California after all...

    Tired of being ignored

    Its kinda like if you own a Harley or think you own a Harley, the required attire is a black Harley T-shirt and doo rag. One drawback to LED brake and running lights is there is no heat generated to melt snow from the lens. Incandescent bulbs usually produce enough heat to at least melt enough...

    Hillary gets offered a shoe.

    Hillary is lucky there were not any members of the Revolutionary Anarchist Bowling League (RABL) present in the audience. When a RABL member throws something, it ain't a shoe.

    FedEx Truck, Bus Crash

    And that's what differentiates the brothers Kennedy. John didn't duck and spilled the contents of brain pan in his wife's lap and all over the upholstery of a fine Lincoln convertible and died. Bobby didn't duck and spilled his blood all over a Los Angeles hotel floor and died. Edward (call...

    I have a dual time zone, analog/digital watch. The analog movement is set to real time (Central Time Zone) and the digital is set to Eastern or as Leo calls it, Panther Time. My 12 volt alarm clock next to my bed is set to Eastern Time as is a small 12v time/date clock in the cab. My clock...

    Are you back in civilization yet? I'm delivering in Perham, MN about 13:00 and then picking up in West Fargo going to Beulah, ND. I'll look for you along I-94 or stop by the Petro.

    Becoming a Fleet Owner (in 2014)

    Are you the original owner of this van? If not, do you know what it was used for prior to you acquiring it? An E-250 will limit you on legal payload and a short box will further limit you. Will this van be set up for expediting with insulated walls and ceiling, a bed, roof top fan etc? I...

    CB reception in 2014 Cascadia

    Did the CB shop test the radio and tune the antenna after you installed it? A radio can be tweaked on the bench but tuning the antenna requires it to be installed on the truck. Does the new radio have an SWR meter?

    a bad and costly trend....Detention time

    Being delayed at a dock for a solo in a CMV also means loss of valuable driving/on duty hours. This could result in a load swapping that could have been run straight through.

    After viewing the Gateway Arch take them over the river for a ride down Barrack Obama Avenue. Its only 2 blocks long, but well worth the price of admission.
