    Oak Park, IL to ban eating, drinking behind the wheel?

    Before my folks died they lived in Westmont which is next to Oak Park. I spent the weekend with them several years ago and parked my (then) tractor in their driveway. Cops came in the middle of the night busted my drivers window out with a billy club and left me a parking ticket on my drivers...

    Jacking truck prices up.

    There is a shortage of used equipment in certain classes. Some models because they last longer and manufacturers are making less of that model. The expedited market for trucks is to small to make a difference in shortages or pricing. I might ad. Everything in the free market economy is...

    Need more truck advice.

    As with Moot I also do t he lifetime thing with wires and everyother part I can do it with. They used to do it with brakes but they stopped that ( at least here they did). As far as gears whenever you buy aftermarket kits for GM you will have a noise issue. The noise is nothing more than...

    We O/O's have to MAKE a profit

    No, to much fun. Then vanners spend to much time trying to figure out how to spell, (k)now what I'm sayin homey? Some people in real trucks would be shocked to see what some vanners gross annually.

    TWIC - Heads Up

    I've had my TWIC card since they first came out. I often wondered what good it does me until I had to pick up at an airport. They would not let me onto the tarmac and we're trying to figure out how to get the small machine to me. I showed my TWIC card to them and asked if that would help...

    Guard your HazMat Endorsement

    Talk about coincedence. S.Carolina actually sent me a letter 30 days before mine was to expire. Mine was Oct 3. After having the hazardouse endorsement since the CDL came out I decided no more. I dropped mine. If I have to have one later I'll reapply. The $75 bucks to me wasn't worth it...

    The White House

    Went on a tour there in 2000 before the 9-11 deal. They take you through the 1st floor and not up to where the president lives. Myself if I were president I would rather live in a hotel and commute. Very cold surroundings and if you believe in ghosts I think it's actually haunted. But that's...
