    Fed up & disgusted!

    You drove it about 20 miles, tried it again, and it started. Real similar, IMHO, to rapping on the starter motor itself while stationary, just by the jarring while driving. Just replaced mine 2 weeks ago. Curious to hear what you find out.

    I'll bet a dollar that says your issue is the starter itself, Phil.

    Things we use to help with mpg?

    I'd start with slowing down. We do between 59-60. Proper tire inflation is huge, and we've gotten a decent bump from changing over to the wide singles. Are you accurately tracking your fuel economy? If so, where is it now? TNT- I think you can go to K&N for that filter you're looking for.

    DOD clearance

    I did too, Denny. Seemed to matter not. Ironically, the day after I posted this, a suit from the gov called and granted it.

    DOD clearance

    The horrendous application is just the start. If there's ever been any credit hiccups, expect to be probed in a southern orifice by a bent microscope by the freelance proctologists that call themselves the government. I had some in my application, however, have paid everything off that was...

    Whats the strangest thing you have hauled?

    Hmmm.... 4-900# bags of taco meat seasoning Optic assembly for James Webb space telescope Some piece of satellite equipment hot off the shuttle One skid of empty chewing gum wrappers One cooler with two mason jars full of wastewater for testing 3 Books of Marriage Records for...

    Re:Tolls

    Re: Tolls Not complicated....I agree. Has been discussed ad nauseum in another post, but it needed to be spelled out. However, I do not agree with you on the 1099 part. If the carrier pays/reimburses/gives money for.......whatever, it is income to the contractor. Correct in that it is revenue...

    What Makes a Good Month?

    That wasn't fair....sorry. $121,973.01 through June 30. Let's not talk about July:mad: $2.03 loaded; $1.45 all odometer miles. Dry box, hazmat, Canada, liftgate, all WG equipment, and nothing else.

    Re:Tolls

    Re: Tolls I am so peeved right now. Made a huge response, only to be booted off by EO. Sorry for the delay. Apparently, my Canuck truck only likes breaking down and getting hit in the North Country. Regarding whether or not you're getting them added into your income on your 1099 or not...

    Re: Tolls They're not there, Moot, because he doesn't turn them in for reimbursement.

    Re: Tolls Fair enough. When I return from your home and native land (probably tomorrow), I'll show you why you're shortchanging yourself.

    Re:Tolls

    Re: Tolls I'm curious to know why you think that benefits you. This whole "drive less, make more/how much you run for" crap means nothing...... IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU"RE KEEPING. Hope I wasn't unclear.

    Re:Tolls

    Re: Tolls Let me get this straight: You're telling him to NOT get reimbursement from his carrier, so that he can claim a full deduction? If I do understand this correctly, are you also one of those, um, 'professionals' that advocates buying a new truck every few years for more deductions via...

    Re:Tolls

    Re: Tolls If the carrier is giving you money for tolls, it IS income. If you take the tolled road, and incur the toll charge, that is an expense. If the carrier gives you $97.50 for tolls, and you pay $97.50 to drive on that tolled road, then there is no tax consequence. Last I checked, the...

    Do you know what to do? Heart Attack

    FWIW, the first guy was a safecracker. That's a life felony in Michigan. Second guy was a "tree jumper"...pen slang for pedophile, who had an indeterminate sentence. Guess someone higher than my pay grade decided it was time for him to go.
