    Fuller 10 Question

    Lohnes, I got your p.m. and replied. Sorry for yanking your chain a bit with my first post. Like I said it's been a long, long time since I ran a Fuller 10 speed and engine and rear axle ratio are two major variables. My best guess, on average would be 20-30 mph, probably closer to 20 mph...

    Fuller 10 Question

    You have to flip the range selector up and move the stick through neutral and all the way back to the low hole...about 1 second. Pre-selecting the range before the shift could shave about ¹/¹º of a second off the 1 second average. Seriously, when you say average speed, are you referring to...

    Just sayin'

    Scott Simon from NPR? Is the same NPR where the "voices" use the words actually, literally and obviously every 5th word and add a heaping dose of ums and ahs in between as filler when not reading from script. Um, aw, actually I digress...um literally I ah...um...was trying to um, come off as...

    6 X 2 trucks

    The diagram in this link Advanced technology differentiates Meritor looks like a standard twin screw except for that thing on the front axle that looks like an auxiliary gear box. Is the front axle capable of becoming a drive axle when needed?

    A sweet tip

    When I was in LTL I loaded at a large hair care products manufacturer first thing in the morning. It was a live load from a conveyor belt to the floor of the trailer. Every Christmas they gave me a large box of hair care products; shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, gel and moose. A couple...

    So was the money we spent in Libya worth it?

    Sure it was! Gadhafi was a great boogeyman to rally the troops against. This country is rapidly losing a face to personify evil. Prior to Gadhafi's demise we lost Bin Laden, Saddam, Khomeini, Pol Pot, Khrushchev, Ho Chi Minh and O.J. to name but a few. Kim Jong and Castro's days are numbered...

    Do you use a Fuel Supplement

    Ken, do you usually burn premium gas in your Honda? I have an 8 year old Honda lawn mower and use only regular E-10 gas and have never had a problem. Runs great and starts with the first pull.

    The original poster was concerned with diesel fuel. Alcohol absorbs water and is carried through the fuel system and is burned in the combustion process. That is why it is a major ingredient in winter fuel additives for gas engines and is also the main component of air-line antifreeze...

    Sleep patterns...

    I think because it varies wildly it is easier to deal with than weekly rotating shifts. We never really get an established pattern (1 week) so that in it self becomes our "pattern" and like you said: "Grab as much sleep as you can, whenever you can..." At least we have the luxury of going out...

    TN To Fight Terrorism Statewide.....

    The TSA is wasting their time targeting trucks and buses. The vehicle of choice for 9 out of 10 terrorists is a plain white van. The TSA should start VIPRing all vans or just ban all vans from America's highways.
