    UltraMaxx cargo van

    Might ad something. If your going down the road in a Max and it has single wheels on the back, the cops know it's a 10k or less just by looking at it. If they want to be finniky about it they can stop you, weigh you and check the max weight that your tires are rated at. You can be fined for...

    UltraMaxx cargo van

    The main problem I see is NY. They are getting to be what VA used to be as far as trucks. Can't you remove the original tag and keep the new one?? Why were you stopped to begin with? and what prompted you call them? They are trained to give text book answers. They don't know squat about the...

    New York Times - Trucking Solutions Group

    I can sympathize with those drivers but isn't it nice all the positive write-ups that our industry gets. I feel for the big guy. After 40 years on the road my weight went from 180 in 1969 when I started to 280pds a year ago. My blood pressure went from perfect to last year being 140+ over...

    US Marines to deploy to Australia

    I also took two R&R's there during V/Nam and loved it. Would love to go back. The Marine force thats going is partly a Recon training group. What better place to train than in the outback with a week end in the Darby. Their biggest problem is staying in shape while drinking all that Aussie...

    Waterboarding is torture says McCain

    I don't understand all the fuss about Water Boarding. Yes it's torture, So what? It's been proven that we waterboarded a total of 5 Al Quada guys and they were the leaders and organizers of the 9-11 attack. So if it's torture than bring it on. Kill'em all and let God sort it out. No body...

    DOT for Sprinter??

    You need to investigate being a broker and have a brokers license. It's to lengthy to try to do that and gather info on a forum. Besides that you will get a lot of info from people who don't know the process.

    Chains or cables?

    I wonder if you were on 80 crossing Elk Mountain. Yeppe!! Yes they are worth there wait if you run west. To answer the other I wouldn't buy 3 railers (double chains,) unless you run west all the time, singles will do. Those three railers are really heavy as Ms. Caffee stated. As for...

    The last time I was on that route I went from Id to Nev during the day and it was beautiful. The next night went back north and ran into a blizzard. Most of the night I was trying to find the road in the white out. Oh what fun.:rolleyes:
