Greg is right, voting is the answer. There is only one really big problem. There are NO quality candidates to vote for!!! They ALL suck. My dead dogs could do a better job than the clowns we have. A boycott of California won't help. We need to shut down country wide. Truckers are the single most...

What kind of work are you looking to get done? John's Standard Diesel in Toledo is good for oil changes and general work, breaks etc. Scott's Truck repair in Toledo is good for body work, reefer work and some general work. I live near Monroe MI and use those two places most of the time. Both go...

Ditto that. Try to get stuck out in the Northeast. Layoutshooter

Snitches Suck!!! having said that if I were to see a driver that was drunk/druged etc I would try to get them to pull over and get them to take themsleves off the road. If I could not I would call them in. Snitching to snitch for you own gain is so Democractic party!!! We have to protect our...

Thanks for the info Piper1. You helped me learn something that I did not understand too well. That is why I visit here often. Layoutshooter

Correct me if I am wrong, but the pre-heaters will do nothing for when you are sitting. They will not keep the tanks or filters from gelling unless you are running. Right? I ALWAYS put additive in regardless of where I might happen to be. I start putting in winter blend additive around mid-Sept...

I switched to Opti-Lube fuel additive, it added around 3/4 to 1 mile mpg. Driving slow is the key. I checked my mileage on my last fill up. Runnng light and slow I got 11.64mpg. That is on a Freightliner/450hp with a 10 speed autoshift. I try to run slow as I can. I don't like to do 57-60 when...

My son gave us a *NeatReciepts* scanner for Christmas. What a great toy!!! It a small scanner but it can scan any length paper up to 8 1/2 inches wide. Most reciepts are printed on thermal paper that fades out over time. Not good if you need them for and IRS audit. We used to get home and spend...

If forced to hunt or fish I won't stay in Monroe, or maybe I will let alllllll the bums that I have been supporting with my overly high taxes support me for a change. I could be a bum. If I work at it. Layoutshooter

The economy will go south and then back north. It ALWAYS has and ALWAYS will. These containers may or may not hurt us reefer owners. FedEx is NOT in the business of pleasing owner/drivers etc. They are in the transportation business. Period. They are in it to make money. Period. I hope my...

Lost me on that one. Layoutshooter

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Budda Bing!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget matches, lighters fire starters etc. Maybe some high quality survival candles. A good candle in a large tomato can with a few holes around the top will throw light and keep a sleeper above freezing, even a very cold temps. I carry fireplace fire starters, the brick kind. I seal them...

Another couple of tips. IF YOU DO GET STUCK, when running ANY engine for heat etc, leave a DOWNWIND window open a crack to allow for fresh and and lesson the chance of carbon monoxide build up. DO NOT forget to check the tail pipe on whatever engine/s you are running, keep them clear of snow and...

Kitty litter is good Leo, I have used it around the house before. Layoutshooter

Good ideas, I also carry extra water, a hatchet, small saw, and 3 days supply of dehidrated hikers foods. I have a space blanket, whistle and a signal mirror. Be sure to have boots, gloves and a REAL winter clothes, NOT K-Mart/Wally world junk. Layoutshooter

Yes Phil, Those wiring things can be a REAL pain in the patooty. These guys at Freightliner in Sacramento did NOT try to push stuff on me that I did not need. They just fixed what was not working. Kinda nice to be be ripped off. Layoutshooter

LOL, DO NOT REMOVE FROM BAG is written on the bag my chains came in as well!!!! Layoutshooter

That might help Greg, I will have to wait until spring to try to work on that. It would not be fun crawling around in the ground at home right now. Layoutshooter
