    Solar generator for CVers

    Calling this device a "generator" is a misnomer. It generates nothing, well maybe profit for the manufacturer and retail seller. It stores energy, it is a battery. I can see its practical use for home emergency power or for tailgating etc. To me it would be a waste of money to take on the...

    Why decent people HATE cops, Chapter 10,310

    It seems fairly obvious because it is fairly obvious. I wanted a more detailed explanation of why that thread was shut down and I thought with 107 replies it should be of interest to all so I started the thread and asked the question out in the open space of the Soap Box for all to see, rather...

    Solar generator for CVers

    It appears to be a battery (batteries), an a.c. powered charger and an inverter all in a cool looking, convenient package. It probably works okay for what it is billed as, and emergency power source for the home. I can't see it being cost effective or practical for a van or a truck though...

    Harvard - Only the Best and Brightest Go There

    A college sanctioned S & M club on campus makes perfect sense. If you voted for Obama thinking you could increase your student aid and maybe get some other extra goodies then you probably get off on the degradation and humiliation of feeding from the government teat. If you have sadistic...

    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Its not so much "winter gas", in my experience over the past 10 or 12 years I rarely find gas that doesn't contain up to 10% ethanol. When I do come across gas with no ethanol, the price doesn't justify the extra 1-1½ mpg gain. The dense cold air and the fact that I tend to idle more to warm...

    Im starting to make my exit plan!

    You can stay in that box if you like, the real trick is staying away from all the other vans in that box. Mostly it comes down to closest to the freight. Let your experience be your guide, not a convenient truck stop close by with 4 other Panther vans.

    Im starting to make my exit plan!

    Let's not get too personal here or I'll have to ask a moderator to lock this thread. Its both! That's pretty much an industry norm and not just specific to Panther. Where are you delivering to on weekends that you end up sitting until Wednesday for your next load? If you take a 300 mile load...

    Why decent people HATE cops, Chapter 10,310

    Just curious as to why you closed the thread: Why decent people hate cops, Chapter 10,309, citing name calling and hatred shown after 107 replies. Did you miss the word HATE in the thread title? Did you expect this thread to deviate from the logical course it was bound to follow from its title...

    Why decent people hate cops, Chapter 10,309

    Good news Monger! As of last night there is one less jacked booted thug waiting to stomp on your Constitutional Rights. He had a wife and four children, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been a closet :censoredsign:got. Several guns found in investigation of officer's ambush killing | StarTribune.com

    Why decent people hate cops, Chapter 10,309

    It wasn't staged! The cop gave the bum shoes so the cop wouldn't have to carry this retched piece of human trash into the subway tunnel, he was able to walk in on his own. Once inside the tunnel the cop tased the bum to make him more compliant (pliant) and then tossed him on the rails and...

    Ticked off!!!!!

    Since it has become the norm then you should be double checking their work before you pay and leave their property. Having fired up the reefer yesterday before leaving could have saved you from losing this load today. Even with something as simple as an oil change, wait and check for proper...

    Probably a gay cop. Did this cop beat the snot out of you before or after the holiday greeting?

    The war on the West thru Christmas

    Of course it is undeniable because it is true. Trans-national corporations are um, like trans-national. They are not bound by one nation. They're like global or world wide or like super awesome or all encompassing or bigger than any one country. In a totally capitalistic way these companies...

    Not only sitting all day butt sitting all night. We sit while working and sit while waiting for the next load. I have been considering joining a health club, mostly do to the positive input from E.O. members. Just being able to shower and park is an extra benefit to the workout. I try to...
