    A simple Thank you

    Last night got rough on here and that most likely left some bad tastes here and there. I want to say that although I do not agree with yanking posts and most likely never will, I do agree there are times to step in and tell folks to redirect the questions or responses, take them off line etc...

    An idea whos time is overdue

    There is a great POST under Trucktalk. It was put on by Tom and has to do with Expedited truck service locations.

    Proper use of brakes

    This may be better suited for the newbies area but based on recent topics, I am guessing a lot of newbies are reading this area as well. If you want to move it I understand.
