    Fold Out, Wall Mount Bed

    I'm 5'10' and have a custom mattress that is 70" long or 5'10". My bed is installed cross-wise and is hinged to a walk/crawl through bulkhead behind the driver's seat. 70 inches isn't quite enough for me to stretch out. It works fine when loaded but when empty I like to stretch out. I added...

    Tipping

    I'm with Xiggi on this one. I shower at Flying Pilots. If I've got a dollar bill or loose change, I will leave it. What I would really like to do at Flying Pilots is leave a tip for the person that takes care of the car fuel islands. If the paper towel dispenser was correctly reloaded (or...

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    The Power of FaceBook

    Yeah, it was probably his daughter. I still like to believe it was Tom. I guess just because you're dead doesn't mean you have to give up your FB account. Kinda of a high tech, modern day Ouija Board.

    Would it not always be necessary to chock the wheels when there is a chance a forklift operator could plow right through the parking brake. With the transmission in neutral your second line of holding power is gone. Your van just rolled into the flammable storage cabinet next to the building...

    I am home. Got the paid empty move. I was number 2 on a 1 a day Fargo board. Now I'm 1 of 2 on a 5 a day Minneapolis board. I should get a load tomorrow. Did you make it to Sauk Centre?

    I must lead a charmed life. Well over 1 million miles on two vans and never a transmission issue. Viva los slop buckets! Viva los loofahs! Viva Juan Valdez and his Colombian coffee beans. Waitress, refill please.

    Another Power Plant Another Story

    Runrunner wins the Golden Wheel Chock Award for the correct answer to the disturbing question: Why ship coal from Wisconsin to North Dakota. I delivered the four drums of coal to a testing facility that is part of the University of North Dakota. They will burn this coal and test it for...

    The Michigan Republicans..... Embarrassing

    That's one way to fill potholes. A bit bumpy at first, but they should smash down and level out.

    Diesel block heater question for PM

    The ProMaster should have a normal 120 volt block heater with a normal, grounded male plug. Buy a 20' cold weather extension cord (usually blue in color). Most motels in Cold Country have outlets to plug block heaters into. If you are at a shipper or consignee waiting, ask if you can plug...
