Engines with turbos require some extra thought and effort. Let the engine warm up before driving. Drive slow for the first few miles and go easy with the accelerator. This allows warn oil to flow to the turbo bearings. Before shutting down, idle for a minute or two to let the turbo spool...

There are many good lease/purchase options for cargo vans and trucks. Good for the lessor, not so good for the lessee. Start saving money and get your credit repaired, then buy a van.

UPS is ordering 125 Tesla tractors: www.reuters.com/article/us-ups-tesla-orders/ups-reserves-125-tesla-semi-trucks-largest-public-pre-order-yet-idUSKBN1ED1QM

I have yet to see a maximum payload capacity or empty weight for the Tesla. For comparison, Cummins says the AEOS will offer a 100-mile range that can be optioned up to 300 miles with additional battery packs. It hasn’t said anything about price, but we do know the maximum payload will be about...

My favorite Flying Pilot coffee was their limited, one time only Ethiopian coffee. Kwik Trips have a quasi Kona which is good. And McDonalds isn't bad. Most truck stop coffee today is much better than the burned mud served from Bunn hot plates.

Um, ah, an unrelated link, actually? Um, ah I was hoping, literally for uh, um, a basic NPR jock type throwdown. Literally!

. . The yellow former Penske is also one of DKP's.

I took the OP's "literally explode" literally, actually. Basically, I literally envisioned a gory mess.

You are correct! I checked with Snopes. I do the Folgers bags and thinking French Press for those Walmart times and after nights spent at the consignees dock for a morning delivery. I've got a 16 hour clock that I have to be mindful of starting.

What would you call people who: "would literally explode were they able to partake with you.";)

Nice! Close to home for Christmas.

I got a load offer yesterday (Sunday) for an evening pickup. Having dealt with this customer several times in the past month involving different shippers and different consignees, the last load resulting in the police being called. I thought it prudent to question the pickup time and date and...

Thanks Grizz! Maybe Santa will bring me a French Press for Christmas. I could heat extra water to rinse out the press.

. Grizz, have you ever used a French Press? I have considered it but never tried one. Just wondering how well one works and how messy. When I'm not close to fresh brewed coffee I boil water and use Folgers coffee bags. Folgers coffee bags are like tea bags only spelled different and...

When I was a young folk I had to walk 8 feet through shag carpet to change channels.

Dual rear wheels will also add extra tire costs, a hit on fuel mileage and an extra 150 lbs. or so.

I say stand. My priest says kneel. My wife says squat.

California wild fires, blame it on Trump. Jerry Brown was crazy 40 years ago and like a bottle of Ripple, he didn't age well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQAH24LTmPA

Condolences to the expediter's family. As to preventing this type of tragedy; a quality carbon monoxide detector would be a first defense. The generator could be the cause. I remember terryandrene posting about getting a CO alert from nearby idling gasser.
