Love those old panel trucks! The owner better hope the S's in the company name never fall off. Could be bad for business.

I use the Donny and Marie reverse Osmond system. It gives me a refreshing Latter Day Saints Holy Water without all the fluoride. I also drink water straight, no chaser, from lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Quetico Provincial Park, so what do I know? Got giardia? Watch out...

You sell them and you "believe" they are called beam sockets? I do "believe" you offer a decent assortment of E-track products. Thank you.

I'm not a writer or a trucker and I don't have a book, but I do have a CDL and a van!

If he had any balls he would choose Ike Turner. Ike has a well known name and he could deliver a swing state and appeal to some of Obama's followers. He might have some problem with women voters, what with Tina's accusations of abuse, but who in their right mind would say anything negative...

Many years ago I co-authored The Spicer Big Road Truck Stop And Restaurant Review with Roger "Top Dog" Hanson. This book critiqued most major restaurants and truck stops along I-94/I-90, between St. Paul, MN and Mauston, WI. The inspiration for the title came from the Spicer 7 speed...

PSP: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Most carriers won't lease with you if you show positive for PSP. If that's the case then cite the ADA, unless you have ADHD. If you have ADHD you may need someone to contact people in charge of the ADA or perhaps CHADD. If you have VD and are a veteran...

Thanks John. While I did take a shot at recruiters, I was also poking fun at the people who want to enter this business with a cargo van and expect to make boat loads of money.

I agree, the Republicans gave us the Department of Homeland Security while railing about the evils of big government. As for trampling on capitolism (sic), I assume you meant capitalism. I guess TARP, started by Bush is a good example. If you intentionally typed capitolism, you may have just...

That's the nature of cruise control. I always turn mine off when running hilly country or mountains and often engage the tow/haul mode to prevent unwanted down shifting and to keep it in a lower gear going down hill. The tow/haul mode is also nice to use in slippery conditions when my road...

I believe you Dennis! I was thinking more of the next new niche market. In the past few years, from what I've seen, O.D. wind farm stuff and North Dakota oilfield stuff is all the rage and high paying. I have noticed that some of the bigger carriers like Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) are...

I hope your use of deserve was just a poor choice of words because you don't deserve any more than the market is willing to pay. Trucking has always been about more miles, more hours, more weight and higher speed limits and low pay; with the exception of temporary niche markets, like...

Read your post #16 and the quote you used in it from youngguns.

I'm with you on this one. Now I'm lost.

Love the sound of an air starter but they were a pain in the butt in Minnesota in the winter.

That's why carriers enact fuel surcharges. A fuel surcharge can be adjusted weekly to reflect any change in the price of fuel.

Thank you Rocketman for your explanation! I don't know why Amonger introduced axles into the original question about cab length. I don't understand the reasoning behind a 3 axle straight truck being allowed an extra 5 feet of length over a 2 axle truck. It could be a specific state's law...

5 more feet compared to what?
