    Phil, did you ever read "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance"? It was a mixture of mechanics, philosophy and road trip. With your diverse educational background you could write a companion piece "Zen And The Art Of Big Truck Maintenance". You could even throw in some theology. Zen...

    college

    >Also, in the liberal arts like philosophy and history, it is a Bachelor of Arts degree that is awarded, not Bachelor of Science. My mistake. I got caught up in the BS thing. Thanks for setting the record straight. so does this mean you are not a degree off? Did you go to school in Minnesota?

    college

    Thanks Phil. I guess men are always wrong. By the way that fancy piece of paper is a diploma. It is a receipt of sorts showing where your money went. It should state that you have a Bachelors of Science in History and a Bachelors of Science in Philosophy. It is certainly possible that you...

    This may require a philosophy major to decipher but I think I am on to something. A man lives alone in the woods 50 miles from the nearest woman. One day he discovers bear scat not far from his cabin. He concludes that the Vatican has no indoor plumbing and ponders the state of the Catholic...

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    Nice set-up. A money maker with plenty of living space, maneuverability, and fuel efficient. X, why would you go with a flat top? How much headroom would that give you? Seems with a flat top you would want an air deflector so why not a condo? Weight issues?

    Batteries and Crankinig Amps

    I run 2 deep cycle batteries in my van isolated from the main starting battery. I can't imagine operating an OTR truck without a bank of deep cycles isolated from the main batteries. Ken, what are some of the advantages/disadvantages of going with 6 volt batteries in series for truck...

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    >Moot, >I thought International was the first one to come out with >the flat floor in the late 90s? Ark, that could be. I haven't driven a cabover since the mid 80's. I remember reading about the Argosy when it first came out. Couldn't figure out how they got rid of the doghouse. I spent...

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    I don't believe any companies in North American make a cabover any more. Some of the pros of a COE are visibility and maneuverability. On the down side cab access is more difficult and you have to deal with a doghouse to enter and exit the sleeper. Somehow Freightliner dispensed with the...

    Put Out Of Service

    This is the second time it has happened to me that I know of in 15 months.

    Put Out Of Service

    My reason for posting this is because of a phone call I received early Friday morning inquiring when I would be back in service. I don't recall taking myself out of service and then again I still don't recall taking myself out of service. Had it not been for the phone call I would still be out...

    Expediting in the West? Any good?

    In the mid 1800's expediting was excellent out west, especially in California. Wait, that was prospecting. Never mind.

    college

    Ark, yes , if you double major in two fields (ag humor) you will receive a bachelors degree in each discipline. My son is majoring in law enforcement and Spanish. Si! He is planning to live with a broad in Mexico for a semester next year. LOS SCRUBBERS CON.

    How Do We Expedite? Let Us Count The Ways

    A semi-retarded middle age white guy B unit driver trying to cope with dementia, hair loss, fallen arches and painful rectal itch all while touring the country searching for the mundane in life, aluminum cans and other neat stuff. Wow, sounds like a singles ad.

    Greg, have a drink on me. I'm going to bed. I know what you will be doing all night.

    E Rumble Strips

    Who makes the LDWS? I remember the Vorad Collision Avoidance system that came out in the early 1990's. I think it was made by Eaton. It alerted the driver if another vehicle encroached into your space or if you got close to another vehicle. A friend of mine I used to work had a company...

    Covering Ground and Nighttime Driving

    Well I still think if it is taken in the context of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting it is hilarious.

    Glider Kit?

    Greg I hope you are feeling better at least until you pass that stone. As for the emissions, that would depend on what model year the engine is. I am not sure how one would go about registering and plating a glider kit. You could have a 2007 Cascadia, with a 2006 engine and 1998 rear end...

    Glider Kit?

    I should add that my experience with glider kits is limited to tractors only. I would think one could order the frame rails in various sizes though.
