    August locations.... Here come the dog days

    Picked up in Woodstock Ontario this evening. Taking the load home. Delivers Monday to Warrenton MO. Get to sleep at home Friday and Saturday night and head out late Sunday to make the delivery.

    EO logo

    Has anyone ever considered possibly putting small EO letters on the lower drivers side windshield so others would know when we are sitting with other members? Something simple like little 1" tall EO letter stickers. Any ideas?

    Truckstops

    About 95% of my gas comes from truck stops. Quite often, I'll fuel and shower at P/FJ and then drive across the street to have a better meal, enjoy their better drivers lounge/TV room, and sleep there because I like TA/Petro better. How is that helping their bottom line?

    Truckstops

    Well lets see! If the average cv spends between $20-30,000 per year on gas, then only 10 vans would be a qtr of a million dollars. Win over a hundred+ c/v's and your looking at over 2.5 million dollars of gross sales just on fuel. Plus all the drinks, snacks, food and accessories sales...

    Truckstops

    Now if Petro/TA would only embrace the van crowd a bit more. It would be an easy choice, but its just too much hassle the way it is now for gas burners.

    I'm running Amsoil full synthetic oil and the Amsoil oil filters. I run 15,000 miles between oil changes. Started using it at 70,000 and have been using it ever since then. No complaints! Have over 300,000 on the van now.

    Fast Food Strike: Workers Walk Out In US Cities

    Give them a raise to maybe $10.00 or $10.50 just to give them enough income that they no longer qualify for any government benefits. They need to be careful what they ask for, it could come back and hurt their income.

    Battery Isolator

    I used a solenoid style 200 amp isolator for my 165 amp alternator. Keyed it to not go on in the accessory key position, only connects in the key run position. Got it off eBay for $40-45.

    Window vent....Latest little project

    I was going to have a shop make them up in aluminum so when installed it would be as secure as the glass is. I didn't get any interest from others wanting a set, so I just made a cheap pair for myself. I was looking to sell some to help cover the cost of the initial shop setup fees to make the...

    2,000 watt Honeywell generator for $375 off eBay, $300 for a 10,000 btu LG portable A/C from Home Depot. Was in Laredo and it was 104 and I slept great! Didn't really cool the whole truck but I just had it blowing on me and was fine.
