    Should not have been a thief.

    Self Protection

    Even a lowly BB gun is capable of killing. I am not sure of the laws, but I think that a gas charged pellet gun would not be a good idea.

    Self Protection

    And how would you KNOW, for SURE, that you were in no direct threat? I must assume that you are willing to gamble that the nut case breaking in is ONLY a thief? Why would you want to shoot a fast dog?

    When is the Expo?

    Don't think MATS will work out. Interferes with our Ducks Unlimited Dinner. Often Expo messes up the State DU convention, but not this year. Need to look at trucks. Time to decide what to do.

    Re: This Post for the VETS and those Concerned Commissary Funding cuts and hudge clou That "survey" did not talk to retirees, many of the older ones, widows etc, depend on those earned benefits to make ends meet.

    Tval- br units, help please?

    Besides the sprinter life span it would be interesting to know how the insulation holds up. All insulation breaks down over time, wonder how long for those things?

    Tval- br units, help please?

    The team BR people who we have talked to out this way seem happy with what they are doing. I have no clue about out there. I do believe, at least it is my opinion, that the BR units should be able to make it on the specialized freight alone. I don't think they can be used for much more out of...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    When we were going out there we did do a lot of "DOD" loads, too and from different military bases. Most was not temp work. Most would fit in a "C" box. Most were under 5K in weight. We could have kept busy with those but, generally speaking, they don't pay enough to run a lot of them on a TVAL...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    Sort of. The problem with those BR-TVAL sprinters is the insulation. It cuts down on the size of the freight you can fit it one, by a lot. That will restrict the number of non-TVAL/Temp control loads you can handle in one.

    Tval- br units, help please?

    It is more so for the TVAL freight since much of those loads require constant guarding. I don't know how it has been out there. We are no longer welcome in CA. I am not up on current freight levels. I no longer have a clue what internal TVAL work there is in CA. I cannot recall EVER running a...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    Those sleepers are kind of small for two people. Unless the BR freight is drastically different than CR/DR freight, you will find that will be more "team" freight than solo. Not totally sure if that is the case. It is correct for the CR/DR side of the house.
