    JB Hunt files bankruptcy, TMC closes doors?

    TMC seems to be healthy. I have noticed recently that they are hauling a lot of outbound John Deere freight. Flatbed, dropdeck and OD being easily identified. JB seems to be holding its own after scaling back a few years ago. My all time favorite "gone bust" story is that of Consolidated...

    Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money

    Bring Lawyers, Guns and Money! John McCain quoting Warren Zevon. Cool. Too bad Obama didn't quote him also. I got this mental picture of Roland and his Thompson Sub Machine gun hunting ducks. Much better image than a six-shooter.

    DUI death = capital offense

    In 1976 I was a member of the broomball team that won an annual tournament sponsored by the Flat Iron Bar in St. Cloud, MN. The name of our team was the Ed Gein Farm Club. Our fans could be heard chanting from the sides of the rink: Team Gein, Team Gein!

    DUI death = capital offense

    Too bad Ed Gein is dead. He would make a wonderful cell mate also.

    DUI death = capital offense

    One more reason to live south of the border. Why do I think this law won't effect municipal and province owned fleets? What happens when Giles Gadaure kills Sauky Pierre while intoxicated and driving a truck owned by the Saskatoon Sewer Works? Is the mayor going to jail. How about the city...

    DUI death = capital offense

    I just had another thought on this subject. I am not intending this to be a pick on Leo post but he brought up vehicle forfeiture and he is know to be an advocate of the right to own and bear arms. Although I own no guns I side with Leo on this issue with the exception of owning automatic...

    DUI death = capital offense

    I agree that penalties for drunk driving need to be more severe and enforced. But forfeiture of the vehicle no matter who owns the vehicle is going a bit too far. Leo, as a fleet owner how would you react if one of your drivers was convicted of a DUI and you forfeited a truck valued at over...

    Truck Decal Removal

    If you use a propane torch as Terry suggested put a wide shield over the tip that will defuse the flame. Otherwise buy or rent an electric heat gun. Use either heat source in conjunction with a plastic scraper or gentle scraping with a metal putty knife. After the removal of the decals, wipe...

    Bolo

    I still have some chinchilla halter tops left over from my raising chinchillas for fun and profit days. Not quite as light and airy as a silk bolo, but much less revealing. Would Mrs. Packmule be interested? Speaking of bolos, I have a chinchilla boa, dyed pink. I promised Jesse Ventura...

    Bolo

    Bolo? Like a piece of string with a chunk of silver and turquoise. I'm sure a silk bolo would be light and airy but also very revealing. You did mention layering, so that would work in public. Have you looked at any Dale Evans' Secret or Cowgirls of Hollywood Stores?

    Recession and Prosperity

    I was only 3 years old in 1958, but I can't recall any bad times economically. Maybe I slept through it. I do recall, or at least have scars from a fall into our window well. I do agree that this recession, depression or fart in the economy offers some great investment opportunities...

    Rev's Ride 1

    Looking good David! What is the GVWR? I'm assuming 10,000#. Any idea what the two extra tires and rims weigh? Do you carry a spare tire? Can you share an empty weight with you and your gear onboard?

    Knowing your cost per mile

    Okay Rat, I don't understand the value of the dollar. But I do understand the McDonalds Dollar Menu. Sorry, more sarcasm. I'll explain that later. So please clearly define it for me. As for the stats you cut and paste, its not that I don't like them; you just omitted one. You posted 7...

    Knowing your cost per mile

    Rantwell, in your haste to cut and paste you forgot one very important statistic that would put your little piece into prospective. Maybe you should re-read your last post and add an example #8. Of course then it wouldn't be much of a rant; well would it?

    Eastbound I-74 at I-275 in OH closed for 60 to 90 days

    It was reported in the link that: The truck was pulling an oversized load of an 80-ton locomotive, they said. As the tractor approached the I-74 overpass, it somehow became separated from its trailer.
