Thats weird...me too.;)

Wonder how many drivers and O/O's are floating their fuel expenses on low interest credit cards? Greg....Ranchers out here like the Farm Bill BUT not the pork add-ons.

I don't....;) DD...empty or loaded doesn't really matter....Sprinters are that darned good!!:p

Ok Moot point taken eastern Iowa isn't as hilly as the west side...but none of the hills are that extreme and you shouldn't have to gear down on any of them...And it's true about a tail wind....My MPG's are up when coming back from Rapid City to Albert Lea when coming back into service...

How are your SS tires working out? Any issues, problems, good feedback? Iowa is one of the flattest states and the wind is usually out of the west so you'd have a good tailwind. Only thing I can think of to support Phils thinking.

.02 doesn't sound like much but in a unit your size it's a BIG savings...these are times to be practical not comfortable, if one is going to beat these tough times just got to Git'R' Done.

Are you a thinker? I try it once in awhile and it usually gets me in trouble. I have a Republican friend with the same problem and I want to share his testimony with you: It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably though, one...

I hope they make the locking caps better then when I was a teen...those caps they made for cars were a snap to pop off with the "right tool"!! The ones I've seen in the TS's don't look all that "secure" for someone who knows what they are doing. Better yet would be a cap linked to an alarm...

As far as I know...I was sitting with a Sprinter driver and he was showing me the system...I like it! You know what the fleet is doing and where they are going.

Maybe lurking? I know they are around and we know who they are....ask me if I care? *LOL* I think some of them sold Kirby's in another life! :p

*LOL* recruiters should be lining up for hot air powered cars! They seem to have a lot of fuel in reserve!!!

Who's work? Mercedes? "domestic two"?

From a 2009 review... The SLK 350 carries what Mercedes says is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that has undergone a major overhaul and now produces 300 hp (32 more than the previous version) and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. However, Mercedes says the high-revving engine also provides better fuel economy and...

You know Canadian OTR's out west have been using extra tanks for years when coming into the U.S. of A. to buy our CHEAP diesel... And when Swift and Warner start crossing that Mexican border you can bet your butt they'll be fueling over there. Especially if you don't have to report to IFTA.

If you have a laptop with internet you might like TriStates system...It shows you every truck loaded or not and where they are headed loaded...and dwell time. No more guessing on what board is where or how many...I don't know of any carrier that won't drive a person crazy at times so thats...

Joe..I think what Gregs trying to say IS= He's not too keen on the government mandate of having an APU..Greg believes LESS government in our lives is better...if one doesn't have an APU..then let them be cold or hot. THEIR Choice NOT the governments.

Guess I was looking at the big picture during a slow period. Sitting 3 days isn't that good and I don't sit well neither.

And Yet some Walmarts have designated parking areas for RV's?? For them to have signage there must be some corporate policy to approve the expense of them signs.

Talking about twinking..twice now I've gotten 27.74 and 27.78 mpg...soooo close to 28! Am looking for that extra .25! I think with fuel being what it is and no sign of dropping..APU's and Espars are going to be a must if one is going to survive. And of course www.airtab.com - The smart way to...

With the way the anti-idling laws are going I think all trucks for long distance work, aka have sleepers, should have APU's as standard equipment.
