Whew. Don't get me started on a national language. I know that if I moved to France, they're not gonna give me a driver's license unless I can fluently speak and write French. Here, you can take your driver's license test in Chinese, for cryin' out lout. When you move to another country, and if...

It may be reality, or TV and movie induced paranoia, but if the Mexican authorities as so corrupt that they can rob you and throw you in jail at any time for no reason, and there's not a thing you can do about it, then there's zero chance that me or my truck will be going into Mexico.

I can tell you flat out that you will not make $1000 net per week in a van. You might some weeks, but as an average, it'll be more like $600 a week, $700 maybe. It depends on your costs, and how well you control your expenses. Expenses are more than 50%. Honestly, when you figure in insurance...

Expediting is very similar to OTR trucking, in that you will spend a lot of time away from home and in your truck. So make sure you outfit the front of your van for living in comfort. :) Read this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/5248.html

Not quite sure how I'm living proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If yer gonna level a charge like that, the least you could do is back it up with specifics, particularly specifics that I've stated inaccurately. When someone falls into the category of a little knowledge being a...

I do think it will be interesting to see what happens with the difference in the controls and regulations. To see, for example, if countless Mexican trucks will be pot OOS at scales for log and HoS violations. And how they're gonna deal with things like fuel taxes. I do think that the same...

Oh, the pain, the paaaiiinnn. The pain of change. Too funny. The more things change, the more they stay the same. If you go back in history to the beginning of organized civilization you will find then, as now, the privileged few, and the masses. You had lands with kings and nobles, and then...

Not sure what brand they will be. I just ordered my first case the other day. I've talked with 2 people who have ordered from this lady off eBay, each have ordered two cases. One of them, the first case they got was Fram, I think, and the other three cases they got were the Mann Mopar filters...

I dunno. I have an idea. Send me a bin, and send me a jpg. Lemme see.

Well, if you listen to Chicken Little Radio or do most of your reading at www.theskyisfalling.net, you're gonna be upset over the SPP. But the fact is, no agreement was ever signed by anyone regarding the SPP. Not by Bush, not by Fox, and not by Martin. The only "agreement" that was made was...

Funny, tho :D

I've got a couple each of the fuses already, but I haven't gotten around to buying a couple each of all the light. That is something I plan on doing. As for oil filters, I now get those by the case of 10, off eBay from someone in Hudsonville, MI. $49.95 plus $11.95 UPS ground. I dunno, maybe...

"These sections are placed as follows: 34" section, then the 96" section, followed by the last 34" section. The reasoning is this: by placing a 34" section at the rear, a towmotor operator should be able to lift the front edge of the skid, pallet, tub, etc. to clear the first seam between the...

What camera phone saves movies (or pictures) in a bin/cue format? Mon Cheri, how are you sending the files to other people? Directly from the phone, or via e-mail? If by e-mail, when you attach a file, what it is the file's extension? When you view them in Windows, what is the file extension...

RE: About idling!! How to keep down the cost of id A van, or a truck, gas or diesel, will use just about a gallon per hour when idling, some slightly more, some slightly less. That's the way the engines are built. Some of the more fuel efficient ones will use perhaps .8 gallons per hour. A...

So far, at only 62,000 miles though, I've not had to replace any bulbs. Where's that wood? Can you get the bulbs at most any auto parts place, like an Autozone, Advance, Pep Boys, etc., or is it a dealer thing still? I keep reading all over the net about how the headlights go out all the time...

Ive got one of those Microfridges where the microwave is secured to the top of the fridge with rails, with screws through the side rails into the microwave. You could probably rig up something similar, but I'd be very careful about drilling holes into the fridge, or the microwave, for screws...

#1 - Do the other Fn keys work? Like, Fn + whatever brightens or dims the screen, or raises and lowers the audio volume? If not, the Fn functionality has likely been disabled. Have you recently upgraded any of the Toshiba utilities from the Toshiba Web site? Run msconfig.exe to make sure that...

If you get a Microfridge, check out the models carefully. Some have separate freezer compartments (separate doors for fridge and for freezer), which will keep frozen foods frozen, and some do not. The ones that don't have a separate freezer just have the little "freezer area" for an ice tray...

http://www.microfridge.com/ Take a close look at your microwave. If it says it is a 1500 watt microwave, that's probably cooking power, not the power consumption, which will be more. A 900 watt microwave, for example, will draw 1200 watts of AC power. The electrical label on the back of the...
