    Christmas Dinner Traditions

    Being a van driver; if I boil a hot dog Christmas Eve and save the water and if Santa puts some egg noodles in my stocking, then I can have the traditional Christmas dinner of wiener water soup. Bon appetit!

    Flying J Files Bankruptcy

    My reply was not specific to Flying J although the thread was J specific. My bailout reference was to the American oil industry in general and to some degree was in jest. At least I hope so! You mention BK. I can see them and McDonald's, Wendy's, Arbys etc. also getting in line for bailout...

    6-71 detroit

    Junior, you're talking some of Detroit Diesels glory years. Actually, uh, ah the formative years. Excuse the public radio speak. But these engines were the main stay of the trucking, people mover (again excuse the public radio speak) and marine industries. Do an online search, yeah I know...

    van question

    Is this in a 3500? Does G.M. now offer the 4.8 as an option in the 3500? Like the chef said go with the 3500 and super size it! (long wheel base)

    The Puppy Project

    Bob, can you post a picture of Biddy? A Wheaten/ Poodle mix sounds interesting. Yeah, Lyla is a soft coat Wheaten. She is high maintenance though! And at 46 pounds, when she's on steroids she is a load and a half!

    The Puppy Project

    Don't buy this dog. She was rescued from a puppy mill and then posted on the internet. She has a seasonal skin allergy that is treated with a steroid that causes her to bulk up with an extra 8 pounds. She also has a food allergy and eats a special lamb and rice dog food. She requires a bath...

    Tranny adjustment

    Great article on the Caffees and their quest for improved fuel mileage. I too was confused about the 5 speed to 6 speed change but knowing absolutely nothing about automatic truck transmissions I let it slide. Can someone clarify this for the prof and me. Also a translation of page 20 would...

    About to take the plung

    Excellent question! I live in Zone 5 (plant hardiness). Will a van tree survive a Minnesota winter? I'm partial to General Motors but maybe a German hybrid would have a better survival rate in Zone 5.

    Terminology and other things

    I need some help from some of you long time expediters, former proof readers, former ad agency schmucks and anyone who has used corporate speak in a former life to explain the following excerpts from an ad copy/quasi article to me. My IRT decoder ring went into meltdown mode on this one! The...

    Kim, the only time I was ever kicked out of a Wal Mart was when I was in the lingerie department and my pants were in my van. What exactly were you doing to get the boot? If you can't post it publicly I'll understand.
