    Goodbye Obama, Hello Ron Paul

    So you're not a numbers guy. You relied on an accounting staff to count every penny. By your own criteria you were not qualified for the job. You probably relied on a janitorial staff to keep the place clean and called in a plumber to fix the plugged up toilets. In other words you were a...

    Buicks vs CMV's

    If the driver of the car was required to perform a pre-trip inspection this breakdown may have been prevented and this scenario would be moot. Hey, I'm Moot and weigh 185 pounds. If a Mini Cooper hit me doing 63 mph how long would it take the Riviera to get to the train station?

    Volcano's Business Impact

    No need to imagine chaos if one is prepared. I've been practicing my Volcanic Eruption Reaction Drill for the day Yellowstone blows. You would do well to lay in a few extra shovels and a 6 pack of dust masks at the homestead.

    Volcano's Business Impact

    Two positive effects of the volcano: My carrier's European division; El Gato Negro, based in Sevilla, Spain is hauling a record number of ground shipments from Lisbon to Copenhagen and points in between. Large amounts of ash in the atmosphere could result in a cooling of the planet, thus...

    Ideas, anyone?

    You should install E-track not only for the securement of drums, but for all freight. What type of securement comes standard in a Chevy Express?

    barry bows Again..this time to the Communist Leader of china

    Pilgrim, take a closer look at this picture. The leader of the world's most powerful nation is standing upright, at least as upright as he can. It's the other dude that is doing all the bowing.

    Government out of control

    "Carry-on fees artificially avoid higher ticket prices and the taxes applied to tickets," Schumer said. The airlines are offsetting higher operating costs by charging baggage fees rather than increasing fares. The Feds aren't reaping any more money because the federal excise tax (7.5%) is...

    Van - better more volume or more weight capacity?

    I prefer more volume over weight capacity. I have 4 Focal 155 watt 2-channel amps. 3 of these amps are dedicated to the subwoofers. When I turn up the volume on my favorite rap music, the freight is self-unloading like walking floor, dood. I can haul raw castings from the foundry to the...

    Chevy A-arm stop

    I will probably go with springs and shocks from NAPA and have my local mechanic install them. I would like to get another year out of this van before we part ways.

    mpg update

    Layout, is there a zero missing in your load weight? Does your refer draw fuel off the truck tanks or a dedicated fuel tank?

    Are you being macromanaged?

    By that point you are way beyond policing yourself. What if that first rumble strip is a pedestrian or disabled vehicle? I believe I know exactly who your friend is at the unnamed carrier!

    Chevy A-arm stop

    Thanks Greg and Piper. I was planning on new shocks in the very near future. I guess I will be adding two coil springs also. Ouch! Kim, cut back on the ribs.

    Chevy A-arm stop

    Yesterday while changing oil I noticed both A-arms were making contact with the rubber stop block thingies while the wheels were flat on the ground. I have been on my back under this van about 75 times contemplating expediting, life, corrosion and ladder frames while the oil drained and never...

    Baseball

    We've got tickets to 3 Twins games this season in their new outdoor ballpark: Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July and mid September. Texas, Tampa Bay and Oakland. It sure will be nice watching the Twins play outdoors again. I sold beer at the old Metropolitan Stadium for Twins, Vikings and...

    Ideas, anyone?

    Yeah, I've got 6 of those stake pocket thingies. 4 on the floor and 2 on the sidewalls.

    wsj---how truckers use their downtime

    Yea, what Ark said, the link is busted. Being the subject of lumberjacks was mentioned: Monty Python's Lumberjack Song I'm a lumberjack And I'm ok I sleep all night and I work all day (He's a lumberjack And he's ok He sleeps all night and he works all day) I cut down trees I eat my lunch I...

    Ideas, anyone?

    If you don't have E-track on the sidewalls try the C-clamp method. Lock 2 C-clamps on the top lip of the drum. Criss-cross the straps over the top of the drum. The C-clamps will prevent the straps from sliding off the top of the drum. Place a 2 x 6, using E-track stake pocket thingies in...
