Bill Gates has enough on his plate, what with Microsoft, his wife and all his philanthropic outlets. He should stay the hell out of the ATA and quit meddling in the Surface Transportation Bill.

I'm still going with the TPS. I had the same problem and it was intermittent and seemed to occur when it was damp or raining. I highly recommend all vanners get a ScanGauge. This device is a basic diagnostic tool and will read fault codes and reset the "check engine light". It also monitors...

I also have a Costco AmEx card. I don't buy fuel with it very often on the road. Most Costco stores seem to be a bit off the beaten path and their hours of operation are limited. I have all Costco stores downloaded to my GPS but won't go very far out of my way to buy gas there.

These are Democrat primaries and mean diddly squat because Obama is the incumbent. Come November I guarantee "uncommitted" won't be on the ballot as a Democrat presidential candidate in any state.

400k, very impressive! Is this on a single axle truck? Would have it been practical when the other tire failed at 312k to buy two new tires and save the good 312k tire for a spare? Just curious.

Phil if you want others to see you as a professional and not a truck, may I suggest you lose a few pounds, quit wearing the headlight hat and ditch that pocket air horn. Its all in how you present yourself. And quit making motor noises while standing in the fuel desk line! . .

I've been a proponent of credit card use with no fees and a rewards program for years! Provided you are responsible and don't carry a balance. I had a Sears Visa card for a long time, I still have it but don't use because they started jacking me around with point of purchase fees. It was...

Don't change occupations, practice the Dirty Windshield Reaction Drill. Occasionally when I have traveled 200 or more miles without dirtying my windshield, I will pull over an fling a Healthy Choice Four Cheese Tortellini Dinner (with green beans) on my windshield. I get back on the road with...

I'll second that thanks! It nice to hear the outcome of a poster's problem. Too often the "rest of the story" never gets told, especially with mechanical problems and our attempts at online diagnosis. Thanks again for the update Underdog.

Cool! I'm buying CoPilot and setting it for $3.00/mile. I'm also buying a new cargo van and a boat or something with my new found wealth.

I'd add my thoughts about this but my carrier would probably cancel my contract. They're a bit sensitive about negative comments regarding panthers and Black Panthers in general and two headed black panthers in particular. I'll sit on my hands and wait this one out. Besides years ago I...

It's very expensive, especially for an individual or small company. I got mine for... um, yeah, it's very expensive and it also costs a lot of money.

I use pcMiler and I believe most carriers use it also. But some carriers, mine included will use a variety of mileage calculations, depending on the customer, but I find most of my loads jibe with pcMiler "practical" routing.

I agree and think you would make a wonderful moderator.

Yeah, kinda difficult to follow. I even pulled in a quote from a completely different thread.

All this waste of virtual ink just to deny you were baiting Leo. Quit being such a horse's mexican.

Great video! Reminds me of when I would deliver to the National Geographic store at the Mall of America, usually 4 or 5 pallets. It was a long, long, long way from the truck dock to the store pulling one pallet at a time but it was fun riding the pallet jack back to the dock.

Leo, you should know by now, never bring up race or hoofed animals when posting in the Soapbox.

Hey, hey, hold on there bud! Wait your turn! I'm ahead of you! I asked Witness back in March to post examples to back up his statement:

Can you be more specific? My guess would be your TPS (throttle position sensor).
