You were in the military. My point is, just as in the military, you don't salute the man, you salute the rank. You may not respect the man, but you dang well better respect the rank because thats all that holds military discipline and chain of command together. We are, however, most assuredly...

Just read that pdf. Looking at appendix A (Default WLL's for unmarked tie downs) I see nothing that seems to resemble a load bar. They have a category called synthetic webbing which I take to be load strap and a 3 inch one is assumed at least 3000 lbs. From your other post, Layoutshooter...

Well you've proven you are apparently a devoted listener of Rush Limbaugh, other than that all the name calling and other emotional invective deprive your post of any credibility. Americans used to have respect for the Presidency even if they did not care for the person who currently...

Heh, unless you know something I don't, we are not at war with Iran...technically and officially anyway. :) I have no doubt at all we have snake eaters on the ground there though. Good post, you think big picture and consider history.

I think you are right about straps/bars not mattering if the Z posts are not sufficient. Have you looked at the owners manuals for the truck?

Being a middle of the road type and beholden to neither ideology, I am curious: Where where all these anti-spenders when President Bush was getting us into a war that has so far cost us over 600 billion in fact, another 61 billion in theory( this year), several hundred million in destroyed...

To my way of thinking if its totally unmarked it is quite possibly not a good product at all. Companies that make quality items always find a way to stick their logo on it somewhere. Those that make crap prefer anonymity.

I am only adding to this thread because of the anti-Schneider talk. Schneider took me from zero to CDL-A in two weeks and then sent me on the road with a TE for another two weeks. Then on my own but with a 'training wheels' dispatcher who were there to give extra help when needed. I trained...

Crap do I feel silly. I did mix them up. Thanks

This post is highly confusing and seems to contradict a post made a month earlier in another thread about ES where the poster had nothing but praise for ES...now the poster says if you want to keep your house don't drive for them? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Wow, I've never said here who we were going with, but you nailed it!

Ok wow, thats a sweet setup for a van to be having, would love to see the pics one day!

I am about to start driving for a company that uses these trucks, 07,08 models. Can anyone tell me how spacious the sleeper area is...like, is there room to place a Coleman Powerchill up right somewhere and not have it on the floor? Also any info on noted quirks or defects or driving tips to...

When I was teaming at SNC I used a Coleman 12v cooler that fit perfectly in the driver side upper storage bin (this was a Freightliner Century) a 12v sandwich maker and 12v lunch-box oven. With some planning and a trip to Wal-Mart on the way to the drop lot and then one or two more while on the...

I've had a stone also and I can't imagine being on the road with one. Pretty much the most miserable experience I've ever had, exceeding even a USMC induced back injury and later surgery.

My degree is in History and Political Science with minors in Economics and International Relations...whats yours? I know quite well what I am talking about. There isn't a currency on this planet worth talking about that is not fiat money. Gold as a unit of money has no more intrinsic value...

Super its pretty obvious to me at least that Layoutshooter was speaking metaphorically. Give him a break eh? I've seen a lot of people getting upset at our troops being there, but the fact is this is NOT simply a humanitarian mission there now. Its also Geo-political self defense. Haiti...

Agree with Greg on the gold standard. All the gold EVER mined (Worldwide) is currently worth a bit over 5 trillion dollars. US Gross Domestic Product in 2008 was over 14 trillion. Do you begin to see the problem with limiting our economy to gold? Never heard of Daily Bell, sounds suspiciously...

Greg, Ok thank you. Actually it worked the other way around for us. My friend dispatched for FXCC for several years before he moved into trucking. HE was talking to his old boss, who suggested we try to get on with FXCC. We got approved by Fed Ex and then they shopped our names around to O/O's...

I see nothing wrong with that at all. If a LEO tells you not to move and you do it anyway...yeah thats not terribly bright.
