    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I didn't miss it. I think before we fortify our schools, workplaces, theaters etc. we should try and identify and help the crazies before they commit mass murder and maybe tone down the media and presidential attention some of these loonies are craving. Has anyone noticed the increase in...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    What about ideas from various religions on the subject of school safety? Sorry couldn't wait for your reply. The following ideas are from a Catholic. I am a Catholic. I attended a Catholic grade school for my Wonder Bread years, K-6. During those 7 years I don't recall a single shooting...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I don't consider myself one of "our" more liberal members. Far from it. What exactly do you purpose? Should we have armed guards at the doors and patrolling the halls of our schools? What about armed guards patrolling our neighborhoods, playgrounds, Chuck E. Cheeses, libraries, shopping...

    Exactly, unless of course you want it to be infallible.

    Somewhere in this thread 14' was mentioned. Could be 4.267 metres for Transits sold north of the border.

    New Dodge Promaster VAn

    I don't have any valid proof to support my theory, just observations over the years and miles. Like Leo pointed out, rwd vehicles have the extra weight of the driveshaft and differential at the rear. It has been my experience that in the past 25 years or so, I see more 180° + skids on dry...

    New Dodge Promaster VAn

    Same with my Chevy. In the winter I carry four 70# tubes of sand. Two are in the right footwell of the side door and two are along the right wall. When empty or lightly loaded the ballast is over the rear axle or as close as possible depending on the load. Read skid marks on the road...

    2013 Ford Van Photos

    I'm at odds with Ford's description of a 148" wheelbase as being long. I've got 155" wheelbase with just under 12' of cargo space. I like the 14' of cargo length in the Ford. I'd like it even better on 155-160" wheelbase. I guess 148" is better than 136" with a 14' length.

    I agree! I'm 5'10 so 72" to the roof bows or even to the roof skin would work for me. Plenty of clearance for freight, enough headroom with insulation and less of a hit on fuel mileage due to height.

    New Dodge Promaster VAn

    In cargo van, where is the majority of your weight? Well at least when loaded. Personally I wouldn't consider front wheel drive for a van used in expediting. Call me ignorant, old fashioned or both. They all apply.

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    I think I agree with this?

    A tragic event ....

    I was going to start a thread in the Soap Box about this very subject so as to not deviate from the original topic, but... I agree with you that some of these sickos are partially driven by the notoriety they gain from the media. Kinda of Guinness Book mentality. Unfortunately the media...

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    Spend some of that 10 hours boning up on basic arithmetic, especially the chapter on percentages. Also enlarge your small point of view. Get your calculator out and work through this tricky word problem: Dilbert is on a flat rate of $1.75 per loaded mile. Rogmar is payed on percent basis...

    Percentage Based or Flat Rate?

    Here's what he said: And he can say these rates are cheap because this is the internet and everybody can say anything they want, even people without a clue. Check out some of the stuff I say.
