I agree with redytrk that it would be political suicide for a candidate to bring this up. But the next administration may be faced with implementing a federal speed limit. Something to think about.

Pileated woodpeckers are huge! You better get home while you still have a home!

In 1974 as a result of a gasoline shortage federal law mandated a 55 m.p.h. national speed limit. With todays high price of fuel many of us are slowing down voluntarily. On a recent run across Nebraska on I-80 I noticed most trucks doing 65 m.p.h or less. Even 4-wheelers were cruising under...

CRST is a truckload carrier despite what you may read on the sides of their trailers. 01 asked for thoughts. That's all I can offer since I have no first or even second hand knowledge of the company now know as CRST. I see it as just another large truckload carrier with low rates and high...

rdtrpn, there is an old trucker axiom: Never lease from the man with the strings in his hand. You stated you were with C.R. England. Did you have a lease purchase with them? If not, are you glad you didn't being that you parted ways? In my opinion, if you can't come up with a decent down...

Smart man that Obama. I would reject Hillary's advances also!

Must keel moose and squirrel.

Inside fender mount:

Greg, don't give up hope for our young people yet! I am making a movie, "Bowling For Carbon Credits: An Inconvenient Truth." It is a sort of Michael Boore/Al :censoredsign: type flick. In the movie I follow Mike and Al around showing their humble and green lifestyles. Yesterday I shot 6 hours of...

Can I join you guys. We could do some clubbing! Baby seals that is. White gold. Polar pekoe.

David, I like your idea of a full wave whip mounted on the rear bumper. With a roll up door it shouldn't be a problem. I have a 36" tune-able steel whip on a bracket that is screwed to the inside of the driver's side fender and sticks out between the hood/fender gap. This setup works great...

It most certainly would lighten your wallet. I believe you have some type of automatic transmission. Will that handle a higher gear ratio without hunting and pecking for a lower gear in headwinds or steep hills? Keep your money and lower your speed.

With all that glass and a low dash you couldn't scratch yourself without the whole world watching.

Cynthia, thanks for posting the pics. I hope Mike is behaving himself! Where I come from, if someone dies, is sick, goes to prison, gets excommunicated from The Church or is banished from an on-line forum we make them a Hot Dish (casserole). A Hot Dish is a symbol of support and comfort...

David, try the link below. If that doesn't work google Babaco Truck Alarm Systems. Babaco Truck Alarm Padlock Product Line

I worked for a large fleet that used Abloy locks exclusively. I never had a problem, even in extreme cold.

Msinger, what is your empty weight with driver and amenities? Is your box FRP or post and sheet metal? Do you know the GVWR for the Penske 4 wheelers?

blizzard, as long as people like your friend take loads like the above mentioned one to Gillette why should a carrier pay more? Yeah, I know he needed the money, lives in Ten Sleep and this load got him home. There are always people willing to take a load for whatever reasons. One driver's...

David, have you given any thought to an insulated bulkhead with pass through directly behind the seats? When empty you would then have 13' of living space and easier access to gear stored along the sidewalls. I have seen a couple of Sprinters with the "factory sleeper package". While very...
