    The end is near for windows 7

    Ooh fair warning. You'll come to regret that. Microsoft is moving to a monthly paid subscription model at an unknown time I'd had enough of it long ago

    The end is near for windows 7

    Happy Linux user for 6 years. I can run windows 1-10 in a "window" with emulation, but I haven't found any reason to other than chuckles Gaming excepted, altho Steambox helped

    OHIO INCREASES FUEL TAX

    Well CNG would be a bust without a regular route alongside a station. My solution to the Canadian gas taxes (and looming possible diesel squeeze with bunker going to ulsd) is a gasser running propane (0.69c a litre compared to 1.23 a litre for gas) Americanized that's $1.96 per gasoline gallon...

    I'd take one west just for the visuals. Would be a big mistake, tho, company isn't so great at return freight. So Arizona to Ontario Canada would be tough. How about Cali to Vancouver or Texas to Alberta or something? Then I could take a Canadian run home to Ontario. Oh well I'm just dreaming...

    It's really not that far to Nova Scotia but the "mountains" kill my gas mileage. 18 mpg there and back both, killer winds off the ocean, 19 F to 59 F temperatures in one drive. My previous big "mountain" on the eastern side of the continent was that one in Tennessee, and various other ones in...

    Looking for experienced advice

    A CDL isn't necessary under 26,000 lbs. Lots of 5 tons in expedite meet that description (most) find a place that will take you without a CDL, save up, then do what you want. I realize most large places want a CDL, but there are many desperate truck owners out there right now looking for drivers...

    Oh nice. I'm also paying both public and private workers compensation. Hopefully the pay is going to be worth the price long term. Cause I won't be paying all these extras as an independent. Isn't 35% of my gross enough? Tick tock.

    Been investigating mystery deductions lately. They eat at my paycheck. Worst one is "fuel tax" I pay fuel tax, every Canadian does. It's something like 80% of the cost of fuel, between pumping it out of the ground to pumping it in your tank. This one they should have thought out better. One...
