    A Blustery Day

    I would but Scott seems a bit on edge lately, I'd hate to push him too far. I could tell about my colonoscopy but there wasn't any sand involved.

    A Blustery Day

    Yeah, I hit a deer, but not to worry it was with my 1998 Chevy. Took out the driver's fender, bumper, tire, headlight assembly, grill, hood and radiator. I did clip a deer with my 2004 Chevy. Replaced the headlight assembly, gill and miscellaneous trim. Damage, $950. Deductible $1000. Then...

    A Blustery Day

    CIS is an agent. I believe most of the policies they write are through Progressive. I'm insured with Protective Insurance, a company that specializes in the transportation industry. This is my first claim so I'll have to wait and see if they jack up my rate. I hit a deer when I was with...

    A Blustery Day

    Preliminary estimate, $2311.95. Better than the $3500-$4000 but I won't be getting the 18 karat gold gilding around the door edge.

    A Blustery Day

    Insurance will cover the repair. I have a $1000 deductible. I'm sure it will cost more than that so it doesn't matter to me if it's $4000 or $10,000.

    Germany's stellarator, the Wendelstein 7-x, has been turned on.

    Have you put one of those in a Hino yet?

    A Blustery Day

    I believe my Chevys had a steel arm that would stop the door from opening before the point of destruction. I was more concerned about the rear doors getting damaged by wind. I added a handle to the inside of the master rear door because the only thing to hold on to was the long lock stem...

    A Blustery Day

    . Yesterday while laying over in Ardmore, OK waiting for a load offer I thought it would be a good time to wash my van. There was a coin-op car wash just across I-35 from the Flying Pilot. Why not wash my van? I had a shower. Clean body, clean mind, clean van. It was a blustery day and...

    The S Word

    I do embrace it! I also like to share it with my E.O. friends and give them a chance to analyze it. I'm sure the few people here who have never been with Panther think I make this S up.

    Con-Way Now had Highway Master in their company vans when they started up. Very basic and crude. If Highway Master is still available it my be a good tool for the original poster.

    Best Foods To Keep On The Truck

    I prefer to keep my food in the truck. Seems like a lot of work tarping and untarping just to eat.

    The S Word

    Tuesday afternoon I accepted an 813 mile load with 120 miles paid deadhead. The actual deadhead was 148 miles. I burned 3 hours driving and loading, leaving me with 13 hours to drive the 813 miles. That's an average of 62.5 mph. Unacceptable to the safety department and there wasn't enough...

    just need some quick answers

    As you pointed out there isn't much difference. But you are only looking at driving in top gear. Hills, wind, weight etc will cause downshifting. What's the difference between 5th and 4th on the 5 speed compared to 4th and 3rd on the 4 speed? My personal belief is for a cube van like the...
