    Nice little gadget!

    I use a single burner Peak white gas camp stove. It won't charge my iPhone, but it does boil water for a hearty meal. A nutritious breakfast of instant oatmeal and coffee gives me the energy needed to outrun zombies, or at least the one legged expediter parked next to me.

    CV head lights

    I tried the original Silverstars, I liked the light output but they only lasted about 3 months. I bought another set. Same thing, about a 3 month lifespan. I tried to return the second set to the auto parts store for a refund or exchange and was told I had to deal with the manufacturer. I...

    Promaster van pricing announced

    The larger the vehicle, the fewer will fit on a transport thus the higher destination charge. I like this van except for the front wheel drive.

    Can you remember these rigs

    I remember those rigs, I drove several of them. I also remember the truck lines and how few from the video still exist. Most of those trucks, if still turning a wheel, are doing so in Mexico or South America.

    NEWBIE ALERT~What Happens to your load when Sick or Truck Breaks Down?

    I believe it comes down to the carrier you are leased to. I have had two instances where I was unable to complete a delivery. Once I hit a deer while underload. The carrier got a wrecker dispatched and my van was towed a few miles to a truck stop where I was met by a team in a D unit that...

    Daylight Saving Time

    Yeah, I just have to hit the +/- to get to EDT. Panther will continue to quote pick and delivery times as EST. One of these days I might mess with them during Daylight Saving Time, just for yucks.

    Daylight Saving Time

    Just in my van I have a clock in the radio in the cab, a clock in the day/date/temperature thing, a clock in the QC, a clock in the radio in the back, an alarm clock in back and a dual time zone watch strapped to my wrist. All require resetting. At least the clock in my phone laptop and Garmin...

    New Rule: No Raising Your Dump Truck Body While Driving Under a Bridge

    I saw the aftermath of a dumptruck, with the box raised hit the I-94 overpass near St. Cloud, MN at exit 171. The impact tore the dump box off the truck and forced the cab up into the underside of the bridge, killing the driver. Here's one from a few years ago involving a bridge and an...

    Vans By the Numbers

    What Ford hasn't said is what model Transit is being compared to what model E-350. I believe that when cargo van manufacturers are bragging about payload weight, chances are that vehicle is the smallest in length, shortest in height, has the smallest engine, no options, no fuel, no spare tire...

    Daylight Saving Time

    You forgot to mention Pantherville, Ohio. They don't recognize Daylight Saving Time either. Tomorrow morning when the rest of Ohio wakes up to Daylight Saving Time, it will be an hour earlier in Pantherville. It's always Eastern Standard Time in Pantherville, always!

    Carrier cutting rates

    Just trying to cheer Eddie up by putting a positive spin on a depressing situation.

    Carrier cutting rates

    Yeah, but if you get that same load a second time this week compared to only once last week, you're money ahead.

    Refusing to cooperate with Border Patrol

    I can't speak for Scott, but I suggest that our vigilance begins at the border and should be increased at the border. How about deportation? Jeez there are over 12 million illegal aliens in this country, I rather doubt that the majority of them are hanging out within 10 miles of the border...
