Greetings and happy Independence Day gentle readers. Whether you are entertaining fellow expediters at a liftgate party, having a picnic lunch at a rest area, sitting in your van at a truck stop or sharing a bottle of wine with friends under a freeway overpass, beautiful homemade table...

Yeah, I was guessing about 75 pounds apiece for a tire and wheel.

Now you have! .

I'm guessing the DRW will add at least 150 pounds to the curb weight. So the net gain in weight capacity would be about 250 pounds over the standard 9600 GVWR. You would be gaining about 20" in width though. The extra width and 2 extra tires will reduce fuel mileage and increase maintenance...

I'M HAPPY! I'm also old! I'm home; my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter spent two days and a night with us. I've got some time off, and while I'm not getting paid, I'm still F'in HAPPY!

I know you are being flippant but I think living in South Dakota where honesty isn't as rare...maybe you aren't quite as apathetic or jaded as other Americans. I would consider moving slightly west if my wife didn't have a good job and I wasn't further removed from abundant sources of water...

Congratulations Hoser you found one! It would be nice if the Duramax came with a couple of cylinders lopped off. I think a V-6 version would offer plenty of torque and horse power for the needs of expediters. Where did you find the air deflector and how difficult are they to install?

There seems to be a rumor floating around that the Minnesota government shut down. Governor Mark Dayton stated in a televised gubernatorial debate that if elected he would not allow a shut down of state government. YouTube - ‪Full Context of Mark Dayton Debate Oct 24th 2010‬‏

I apologize if my post may have disparaged the reputation of Canadian journalist Peter Gorrie. As you pointed out it was especially thoughtless of me to do so on Canada Day of all days! It is no longer Canada Day so: Hockey hockey sticks and pucks I still think Gorrie sucks!

Almost if not all diesel locomotives are diesel/electric. The diesel engine(s) power generators that supply electricity to electric motors at the wheels. Same with large mining equipment like those huge dump trucks.

I used to see one of those original Scions, the squared off ones, running around my neighborhood. The license plate read: CLWNCAR.

I read the article and became confused, more so than normal. Maybe something got lost in the language translations. Mr. Gorrie (Canadian) tours an Iveco (Italian) in Berlin (German) and Moot (Minnesotan) reads it at home on a Sony (Japanese) while sipping coffee (Columbian). Truly a global...

I'm with Leo, I like and mostly use the E-track mounted on the floor. I also have E-track on the walls I occasionally use for securing drums or top heavy freight. Get 10' sections. It now comes galvanized, in addition to the standard painted product. I'd opt for the galvanized. My E-track...

Got this in an E-mail today: There once was pervert named Weiner Who had a perverted demeanor Forced from the Hill For acting like Bill Now Congress is one wiener leaner.

To paraphrase a colloquialism: If you took Custom Critical's annual revenue and shoved it up a gnat's butt it would be the equivalent of a BB in a boxcar.

I agree! It's the hyped competition that bothers me. Even these shows where they remodel a house, there has to be a contrived deadline to compete against. How about a show, Expedite Truckers: Where real expedite truckers do battle with depressed rates due to competition, extreme weather...

There isn't much reality in these reality TV show. All are scripted and hyped with competition. I remember watching a National Geographic Special on ice road trucking which spawned the IRT show. Some of the drivers from the National Geographic show were featured on the IRT show, minus the...

Oh lordy I do. I have run that route many a time doing the Coffeyville thing, like the drink, only spelled different. I always stay away from the trucks in Iola. I also stay away from the trucks in Garnett, Paola, Chanute, Cherryvale and the rest stop north of Cherryvale. In fact I try and...

Thanks Leo and Dakota! I have also consulted with our resident Greek Turtocoletes. For my requirements the Droid Charge seems to be the way to go and I thank you for your input in confirming this.

I think that someone is currently up to his "high and tights" in liquid ice, somewhere in northwestern Iowa. The Cutlets drop When the Gravy And beans Flop. A Hog on the Tide is worth Three in Stride. dispatch Are You listening?
