    I'm sure the automated cockpits contribute to boredom, causing pilots to fall asleep.

    FAA to "check" overweight pilots for restful sleep..

    That's why we need to do away with fat and skinny drivers. Both are much too dangerous.

    FAA to "check" overweight pilots for restful sleep..

    Exactly! Why try and legislate guaranteed safety? If we want to be totally safe why not make the physical requirements for truck driver even more stringent? 20/20 vision without corrective lenses. A driver could break a lens or lose a contact while driving. Height between 5'10" and...

    Which Size Gas Engine?(Cargo Van)

    Where Can I Buy A Johnson Bar ?

    Serious bad weather in the midwest

    It was nice to meet you Bill. Good luck battling the winds in North Dakota. Bring me back some Ghermezian Brother bobbleheads from Edmonton, being that OVM didn't bring me any from his recent trip.

    Where Can I Buy A Johnson Bar ?

    For how often you use a Johnson Bar might not a steel frame, solid rubber wheel hand truck be more versatile and practical? When I did city P & D my trusty 2 wheeler was used as a J Bar for hooking and pulling pallets and crates to the rear of the trailer. It also came in handy for prying up...

    Which Size Gas Engine?(Cargo Van)

    I too have a Chevy with the 6.0, 4 speed with 712,000 miles. New to date 16.65 mpg. I think I could squeeze another ½ to 1 mile per gallon with a 6 speed.
