    Do you think the Euriopean Union is a Fascist State?

    October location...

    That's an interesting rest area in Chamberlain. Going westbound its about 3 miles from the beginning of the exit to the parking area. A tired expediter could become lost and confused without a GPS.

    It's time to play..WHO'S IN THAT TRUCK?!

    For me it was cranial trauma in my formative years. Terry Clinton hit me in the head with a large piece of old street when I was 5 or 6 years old. I have other issues, but this was probably the turning point in my vocational path.

    Cold Start

    If you are running a newer Cummins, Caterpillar, Mercedes or Detroit Diesel engine; would your truck start in -25 degrees or colder (I'm talking actual temps, not windchill) after sitting for 24 hours without starting aids or a block heater? If you have some type of self contained starting aid...

    Just say no to drugs. Take a deep breath and call your priest. Things will be better in the morning. Unless your carrier sends you in for a random.

    one mans cutaway cargo van solution

    Thanks for the info Greg. I'm thinking with a SRW, 6.0, 3.73 rear end, 74" height, 72" width and a cab roof fairing a conservative driver (63 mph) could average 15.5 mpg or better. Add some Air Tabs® ....

    one mans cutaway cargo van solution

    Does anybody know if a GM (under 10,000#) chassis is available with a axle ratio higher than 4.10? I believe a 3.73 would get the job done and be more fuel efficient. Equipped with the locking tow/haul transmission, even steep grades should not be a problem.

    It's hard to imagine these kind of boneheads still exist

    If this Louisiana JP's parents had gone before a like minded justice of the peace who refused to grant a marriage license to a inter-familiar couple out of concern for any children they might have, well we'all weren't be havin' this discussion.

    vans, where do you usually park??

    In order of frequency: 1. Truck stop 2. WalMart or Meijers 3. shipper or consignee 4. rest area. I avoid Target and other stores that are not open 24 hours where a curious LEO or overzealous 3rd shift stock person may wake me up.

    Winter, straight truck starting problems Hino specifically

    I have not been associated with big truck diesels for about 13 years so I am not familiar with the new age electronic computer controlled engines. In my day when it got cold, below zero, all trucks were either left running, parked in a heated building or had the coolant heater plugged in...

    Gasoline additives

    I use BP gasoline with Invigorate® exclusively. According to a recent survey, today’s drivers are seeking to recapture youth and vitality in their vehicles much like they are in their own lives. In fact, 78 percent of drivers are planning to keep their current vehicle longer than they had...

    I have been mentally building a similar setup. My plan is to put the bed on garage door tracks and rollers. Any idea what this weighs empty? Is it on a SRW chassis?
