    Glow plugs

    x, how goes the glow plug counting? Instead of counting all those pesky little glow plugs, get a total cylinder count. Then divide the total number of cylinders by 3.14159. That should get you in the ballpark. Otherwise ask one of your drivers how many glow plugs each truck engine is...

    Private jets for climate change!

    Al Gore is making money from the global warming crisis. But more importantly for him, he is getting the media attention he craves. He is the main man on this gig. No more number 2. If you buy into this global warming rubbish, then go to the concert, support these artists by purchasing their...

    California: Stop Sign Cameras Installed

    Minneapolis tried this a few years ago at intersections controlled by signal lights. The idea was to ticket cars going through on red lights. Lawsuits followed because the cameras captured the license plate number. The ticket was issued to the registered owner and not the driver of the...

    Private jets for climate change!

    A little off the subject but I find it somewhat ironic that Al Gore's son gets busted for drugs that he bought of the very internet his father invented.

    Tire Chains

    I'd respond but I am still in summer mode. Tomorrow I leave for a little R & R up the north shore of Lake Superior. Then back to work for a week. And then 10 days canoeing in the BWCA. Thoughts of tire chains can wait. This dude is thinking summer and water in it's liquid form. The Nice...

    Whos the winner? Fedex CC or Panther?

    Turtle, what can I say? Your description of Panther is very accurate! I also find them disorganized and mother henish. But like you said, they have the loads and the miles. When I am home I have never waited more than 24 hours for a load out. It has been almost a year for me with...

    Ultimate Expediter Accessory?

    Jake brakes and other forms of engine retarders are banned in many urban areas because of the same mentality expressed by the "Loud Pipes Save Lives" biker crowd. STRAIGHT PIPES MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE! A Jake brake used in conjuntion with mufflers is fairly quiet. For law enforcement purposes it...

    reflective lines

    After some thought and reflection, I concur! Also I find mirrors help make driving easier and safer. Things that reflect light are way cool.

    Cargo van/mpg?

    I averaged 16.2 mpg for the life of my 5.7 Chevy 154" wheelbase 3500. I am doing about the same in my 6.0 Chevy 154" 3500. I find city driving and wind to have the most dramatic effect on mpg. I use cruise control whenever possible and usually set it for 67mph on the interstate. Even out...
