I re-read last years thread "Batteries and Cranking Amps" by clicking on the link Scott provided above. I came across the following quote by one of EO's battery experts. "A word about battery monitors. I keep on suggesting the Xantrex Battery Monitor. I don't want anyone to get the idea that...

Not a day goes by that I don't think about per diem and carpe diem.

Sorry Miker for the flip response to your question. But you did say all thoughts welcome. When faced with carte blanche... I guess I just have no self control. Charles' post help clear things up. Most expediters would consider a straight truck to be a dock high vehicle, over 10,000# GVWR and...

Moose that was so cruel! But probably true. A vehicle like that would be best suited for local stuff.

Do you really mean that? My first thought was just say no to drugs. Yeah I know that isn't very original. My second thought was ban the van. Or at least those pesky little under 10,000 GVWR things. My third thought came back to the drug thing and my wondering what exactly it is you are...

Hey Antwolf, Aristotle sent you a P.M.

Start calling around Monday morning. Your best bet would be with a smaller carrier. Yes you will need to log and scale.

What is killing the Black Lake Golf Club is the outdated work rules imposed by the ACCU (Amalgamated Club Carrier's Union). Every golfer is required to hire two caddies. One to tote the irons and one to carry the woods. Every hole has two ACCU members to tend the pin and rake the traps. The...

1) September 11, 2001. Who had been president less than 9 months when our country was attacked. Coincidence? I don't think so! Those naughty people hate George W. Bush and his old man. I don't recall this country being directly attacked during the 1990's. Oh sure some U.S. Embassy's got...

Moose, I believe Ateam has a wood or wood composite floor. Not the aluminum channel floors you are thinking of that are common in trailers. While a channeled floor may help improve air flow, the channels also aid in draining blood, ice melt and condensation. Chutes are used from the reefer...

I did a brief stint in the household goods biz. Most of the pads and skins were stacked and strapped to dollies and then strapped to the wall of the trailer. A piece of 3/4 inch plywood can be cut to increase the "base" of the dolly. This can keep the pads from hanging over the edge. It also...

I talked with the shelled one about an hour ago. He has been running, but it was from his Sprinter to the truck stop toilet. Seems he may have contracted some food poisoning. I thought he knew to drink only bottle water when traveling north of the border.

Please, both you and Eagle River give my regards and wishes for a merry Christmas to John Fogerty.

Merry Christmas!

I talked with Turtle our resident battery expert a few hours ago and he is alive and well south of the border. Jamestown, ND to be precise. I'm sure he will weigh in on the subject tonight or tomorrow. In the mean time I do know that most "deep cycle" batteries are marketed with an AH (amp...

Eagle, thanks for the link. I started reading this post from the beginning and it seemed familiar. Took me a bit to check the date and realize how old it was. In my younger days Ed Gein was just a cult figure. Some weirdo we found perversely amusing. I believe he only killed one person...

When I bought my 1998 the 5.8 was standard and the diesel was the only option. When I bought my 2004 the 6.0 was standard and there was no option. Both were Chevrolet, 3500 extended vans. I would think that in 2005 both GMC and Chevrolet offered the 4.8. Nice to have a choice! Was the 5.3...

Good one Col.!!! I believe now when tripping through Canadian Customs will seal your box.

I'm not sure what that means, but if I was one of them I probably wouldn't be apologizing about it on a public forum.

Cool! No mistaking the high revving sound of a Detroit V series engine. Rob was your Brockway a conventional or cabover? I drove many a 1960's and 1970's vintage Macks. During this period Mack provided sheet metal from it's R and F models for Brockway. For anyone who likes old trucks check...
