    Minneapolis bridge collapse

    The state gasoline tax in Minnesota is currently .20/gallon. It was last increased in 1988, when it was .17/gallon. A gasoline tax is essentially a user fee. Most of the gas purchased and taxed in the state are used by cars and trucks with the exception of gas used by boats, snowmobiles...

    new Sprinter

    Just checked my receipt from Home Depot. In April, 2004 I paid $24.97 per board. Not cheap, but I would do it again.

    new Sprinter

    I used some sort of plastic composite fascia board from Home Depot for my floor. Each board is 12'L, 7 7/8"W, 1/2" thick. Cost was $20 per board. These plastic boards were laid over 3/8" plywood using construction adhesive, deck screws, Tec screws and bolts. While not indestructible, this...

    Minneapolis bridge collapse

    3 confirmed deaths and from the pictures probably many more. Reports have 20 workers on the bridge at the time of the collapse plus bumper to bumper rush hour traffic. Heavy rains and thunder storms are moving into the area. The Department of Homeland Security has said it was not an act of...

    Stress Relief...

    7 or 8 days of paddling my canoe around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) usually gets my mind right. A little escape to reality.

    Alternative Fuels: Bad Corn/Good Corn

    I tried to add the following to a post I started on Feb. 03, 2007, with the above title. I was unable to resurrect that post from the archives, so here is the latest on bad corn. I found this headline below the fold on the front page of the Minneapolis StarTribune, Sunday July 22, 2007...

    super single incident

    I have noticed FedEx Ground running super singles on their dollies and would assume that the trailers would begin to get equipped with the same. I personally wouldn't use a super single in a single axle application. As mentioned above, when you blow a tire that's it. Also I have yet to come...

    Brokering out loads

    I think Riverrat has got it nailed. And when you stop and think about it, it's scary.

    Penis

    I responded to a post about naming one's truck. My reply stated that I had not named my van nor had I named my penis. I was asked via PM to change the word penis to anatomical part. So to anyone who is interested, I have no pet names for any of my anatomical parts other than the official...

    Early or not

    When you called the consignee and got no answer, that should have tipped you off. Usually an 06:00, 07:00 or 08:00 delivery time coupled with many more hours than necessary to get there means that is the time they open or when receiving opens. I still believe it is better to take a chance and...

    Brokering out loads

    The problem with being 4th out is you don't know what size the first 3 units are. Could be all vans unable to handle the weight or size. The confusion in dispatch has a familar ring to it.

    I put my tranmission in PARK, but set the parking brake first. Any other thoughts on this?

    TEANA

    I never expected a bonus. The only thing I expect when asking for extra money is to be turned down. When I am told there are other trucks in the area then I must decide to take the load at the going rate or decline it knowing someone else will probably take it. I can live with that. My point...
