That's all well and good, but as Zorry pointed out, how fast can your carrier adjust to a sudden fuel price spike? When I was in LTL, Con-Way Central Express adopted a FSC program. This was in the late 80's. It was similar to what other large LTL carriers used. At that time the purpose of a...

I'd be happy with a Hostess Ding Dong.

$1.25 really isn't outdated. It's a baseline price that is adjusted to reflect current fuel prices. Granted, a rise in the price of crude oil has a significant impact on more than just the pump price of fuel. To recoup a general rise in the cost of doing business as a result of increased...

It does! Simple and to the point.

In the case of the Ford 3.5L V-6, that would be turbo with an "s". These engines have two turbos. Normal wear and tear, replace one, replace both. Catastrophic failure, like a broken vane, debris could trash the second turbo.

What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.I hope the original poster got sick in a bag or a size 12 Sorel boot, instead of yaking in the parking lot. Two wrongs don't make a right. I hate dodging a puddle of urine only to step into someone's lunch. Also, please quit thinking...

Theft of maple syrup must be considered a crime of treason in Canada. Much like the theft of large quantities of hockey pucks, curling rocks or extra vowels.

Last time I saw you, unlike me, you had hair on your head. I guess after a few years you get used to it. Speaking of the last time I saw you, are you also posting as "cubansammich"?[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE] [/COLOR] Moot: I can't understand why it's called 'handsfree' either - I've tried...

I use one of those small Motorola ear things. It works fairly well. Some day I hope to upgrade to a Blue Parakeet headset. The only reason I bought the Motorola thing was because the nice lady on the Panther recording said: For quality purposes this call may be monitored or recorded. It is...

Even if it was the job you would want to retire from, odds are if you have 20 years to retirement, that company won't exist. I've been self employed for over 15 years and I'm still just a unit number and owner number with a big company. What can I say, my name is Moot. Just about any risk can...

I am also surprised! I don't believe one could get a 9600# rating on a 1500, at least not from a reputable upfitter. Timmy/Tammy, this whole change of life thing, coupled with a MC number, 48 state authority and a 9600# GVWR 1500 sounds like B.S. Sorry to be cruel Curl, but that's how I see it.

The Federal Government doesn't maintain roads. The Federal Government allocates money to the states who then either maintain the federally funded roads themselves, disperse it to counties to maintain the federally funded roads or divert it to bike trails, light rail projects or education.

happy birthday ragman!

Make an appointment with a doctor and get a digital examination tomorrow. A biannual prostrate exam is an important medical procedure for men over 40 years old. At the very least, going in every two years to get your SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 removed is worth it. The condition of your prostrate is...

*Lassie grew up in California and had a strong interest in humans. She learned English while still a pup. *Lassie was a great companion and saved countless lives. *As she stepped on the dusty rock wall surrounding the well, Lassie said: "That's one small step for man, one freaking nasty leap...

This van has E-track on the sidewalls. I use two modified, cheesy, made for pickup trucks, load bars that fit into E-track beam pockets and ratcheting straps to secure drums. My last van had no E-track on the sidewalls so I used small C-clamps attached to the lip of drums to keep the straps in...

My tire guy wire brushes the bead and applies some goop which aids in mounting and may also have some anti-corrosive properties. 617,000 miles on 5 steel rims and no rust problems on the inside of the wheels. The outsides, well... . I should note that I use air in my tires. The same rotten...

Your battery will go blind.

Great job! I like it! I do question your use of a single strip of E-track down the middle though.

My van is just shy of 7' without the QC antenna. The van pictured must be pushing, if not exceeding 13'6". I wonder if the driver applied for OD permits for every state traveled through? What about a lead pilot car?
