    Flying J WiFi

    It seems to work find for me at most locations, once I find the sweet spot so to speak, The restuarants seem to be the worse though. The plus is the card also picks up the FREE connection to Boldstreet.com on the 401,400 service centers and Dennys Canada

    Owners..Time to put up! Re; Fuel Surcharge

    Thanks.. I am aware that some accounts do not pay the charge. I am sending the names of companys that do pay 100% forward to my proper reps. Maybe just maybe they'll do the right thing but I won't hold my breathe. *lol*

    Owners..Time to put up! Re; Fuel Surcharge

    Well here's my point... Ever since the fuel charge was invented I am guessing around Desert Storm because of spiriling pump prices. Companies asked their customers for a small surcharge to help themselves and thier O/O's stay in business. (correct anywhere if my ideas are wrong) BUT somewhere...

    Serve and Protect,

    As he was driving home from work, a man in a rural community was stopped by a local police officer. The motorist was given a ticket for failing to come to a full stop at a stop sign. "Don't I get a warning?" he protested. The officer replied, "Sure. If you don't come to a complete stop next...

    Re: Detroiter

    Well the manager went and done it! He closed the restuarant for the night shift! Said he was losing money Gee I wonder why? Food was not great ( instant potatoes) and OVER priced. And some of the staff lacked basic verbal skills. He shoulda asked the drivers what THEY thought would make it ok...

    Fuel Pump Problems

    Went thru 2 fuel pumps on my Caravan before I learned to keep the tank full as TW said the fuel is the lubricant. This Dodge van is still on the original,(knock on wood)! I try to keep it full or near full as I possibly can.

    Odometer in GM's

    Tony..can not be set to U.S miles. Just talked to one driver who did contact GM in Oshawa..Admittingly a design fault. But no admission of guilt, hence no reimbursement. I guess some young puppy thinking no one would go that far! They should have more faith in thier product. Guess they haven't...

    Odometer in GM's

    3 drivers for us all this year hit the million kilometre mark and all are GM's with the digital odemeter and none of them will turn over after hitting 999,999? Now they have to keep track of mileage manually. GM wants about 300 bucks for a new one plus installation. Is there a way around this?

    About the E350's

    It seems even here in Canada the e-350's have the same ball joint problems, Upon some research,My garage I deal with have done quite a few. This I am NOT willing to accept putting in new ball joints every 6 months or so just because thats the way it is. Tony-Teacel I know you run...
