    the seven people you meet at expo

    I bought an inexpensive Bissel carpet cleaner. Whenever I go home the carpet gets a once over. The opinion of pompous, self important critics aside, the round table sounds like it was a great success. I hope to make it next year.

    Home Sales UP 11%....

    I won't buy a Gm vehicle, but as far as hauling the load, I'm at least getting some of my money back in my pocket. Or, am I totally off base and being a hypocrite?

    Nuvi 465T

    To be honest, at this point I regret the purchase. I was just as well served with my 330.

    July Location

    Thanks Cheri, I've been told that spending time with me isn't as much fun as a whole lot of things. (Highway Star's lower lip quivers and his eyes become misty as he contemplates the pathetic disaster that is his life.)

    Good pics Phil, thanks. I really wanted to go this year. Random observation, the mullet is SO 20 years ago. Dude...

    Satellite Dishes

    I get New York and L.A. network channels with Direct. If I have a delivery @ 2200 Monday, I can still catch House @ 2300 on the L.A. Fox channel, which is, of course, very important.

    Will you Step up?

    His appeal in this thread was questionable from the beginning. The stumbling block he's encountered is called common sense. Imagine that...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    That was on my E350 with a Powerstroke. I replace the filter in my M2 about every 6 or 7 months.

    Expedite Expo Expedite Expo 2009 Photos

    Let's see... One poster says the box looks strange. Well, it is highly unusual in the expedite world. Another says that he thought the doors weren't allowed, simply wondering if what he heard was wrong or had been changed. Another said he couldn't see any use for the doors. Could someone show...

    I'm enjoying the balmy, tropical breezes of Laredo as I reset my hours. Have a good time everyone!

    scenario, question

    Ark's got the right idea. Simply put, if getting back to Toledo after every run is important, then expediting probably isn't for you.

    Will you Step up?

    Make no mistake, we all think this is very, very sad. As you keep pointing out, there's a widow and children suffering greatly from this. Of course we get that, but you keep insulting our intelligence by suggesting we, somehow, don't. The concept we grasp, very well, is that these things are...

    Will you Step up?

    A fine example of "feel good" legislation. If it passed, what are the chances that it would have any impact on the level of violent crimes against truckers? We can only speculate, but I suspect very little chance. Crimes like this are random and will happen, period. "But, if it only saves one...

    Some have said they wouldn't buy a GM Product

    In the '80s, we had the "Be American, Buy American" campaign that basically tried to "guilt trip" us into buying the Big 3's products, since they couldn't compete on quality and value. It'll be interesting to see what comes down the pike now.

    Rooftop Ac

    The 1 ton Sprinter has the dual rear wheels. There's not enough room between the wheel wells for a standard skid. There are things that can be done, rework the wells, build up the floor, but most go with the 2500.

    Rooftop Ac

    Are "They" the people that sold you the truck, equipped with a sleeper? If so, that's some pretty substantial misrepresentation. I'd talk with a lawyer. With only a 1550 payload, I wouldn't be adding anything else.
