    Advise about truck purchase for training opp.

    Why is that? Sounds like the "man with the plan" is also the man with the strings in his hand. I provide for you the definition of marionette courtesy of Wikipedia: A marionette (Leasee) is a puppet controlled from above using wires or strings (wires being the standard now due to increased...

    Air Leak or what?

    When you pull on the cable you are operating a spring loaded valve on the underside of the air tanks. On older trucks a pet**** valve was used to drain the tanks. I'm sure what you are hearing is the air dryer purging. Every 1½ minutes seems excessive. Is your compressor running constantly...

    Air Leak or what?

    I'm just a van driver but I'd put money on beans for dinner or your air dryer is purging like it is suppose to.

    Verbose or Diatribe?

    Mike, where did you get that photo of me? Great use of Photoshop to remove my beard. Thanks for leaving the bandage on my head. It's become a permanent fixture.

    Life sure is getting silly....

    By the powers vested in my keyboard I am returning this thread to the original topic, oral sex. We have been inundated with the term oral sex since the mid 1990's. It is prevalent in television newscasts, prime time tv shows, radio, newspapers, dirty magazines, women's magazines, teen...

    Biggest & coolest load yet!

    Cool! I noticed these engine stands have retractable casters. Are the casters used for moving the engines before and after unloading? Or are they unloaded on the roll or picked by crane or forklift? What is on the upper deck? Another shipment or parts for this load? Do these stands also...

    February 2010 Location

    Me, I'm still stuck in January. At least for a few more hours. As for where I have been; the first 3 weeks have been very good, starting from Day 1, 2010. This past week has been slow. 1 load. February is looking to start slow as I am 4 of 5 on a 2 a day board. If January is the new...

    How old are your tires?

    Guido, thanks for the decoding lesson. I bought 4 new tires last October; 2 were marked 2609 and 2 were 3209. The 3209's must have been fresh out of the oven.

    Ban PETA

    OVM cares. He asked: "but how far would PETA go for their agenda?" I thought maybe a few quotes from PETA's founder and president might shed some light on their ideals and philosophy concerning animal rights.

    Is it the ECONOMY? Or are we to blame for the low rates?

    The "true expedite" market is finite. Where do these new customers come from? All carriers scream the "service" mantra because it sounds good. Some shippers are willing to pay high rates for service, but many are looking for the cheapest rate for a particular mode of transportation to ship...

    Ban PETA

    Here are some quotes from Ingrid Newkirk, founder and president of PETA: “Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line.” — USA Today, Sep 1991 “Humans have grown like a cancer...
