    How Does it Feel to Buy Fuel?

    The high costs of food are more for ethanol than diesel but we are also letting foreign demand push prices up much more than we should allow . Remember how low corn prices got when Katrina stopped the export capabilities ? I've been very disturbed reading of KY having business offices in China...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    I think some good points have been made here . "Challenge" is a low grade publication targeting a low grade market . I really don't think any changes can be expected . Those that feel it is a waste of time won't read it . Others may find it entertaining and value those coupons redeemable at...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    That's about my attitude toward the article on the ex-junkie wrestler in the previous month's issue . The whole magazine is poor journalism . But don't be too quick to judge racers . Many of them are very benevolent . The NASCAR Foundation - Supported Charities . That was another thing that...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    Charlee , I appreciate your post because it lets me know how to explain what I'm trying to get at . Yes , men cuss , women cuss , and I do on occasion also . But most of us pretty much admit we know the language is inappropriate because we refrain from using it in the presence of certain...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    Greg , I didn't see your post before I posted . We all (pretty much) respect each other's opinions here . I certainly respect yours and Turtle's . The whole point of a forum is to share different points of view . If we all agreed on anything what would be the point of posting ? It would be...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    The name of the corporation is Pilot Travel Centers LLC , not Pilot Truckstops and their website claims they serve "professional drivers , business travelers , and families on vacation " (They also serve as a rest stop for Greyhound but they didn't mention that .) Big rigs on the cover ? The...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    Greg , I put this in the Women's View topic for a reason . Women in trucking have a different attitude towards things and I wanted their opinion . I don't think the women members here consider themselves the lower end of society . But you make a good point . In my e-mail to the editor I told...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    The issue is the type magazine she quoted him in . It's a free magazine distributed in Travel Centers that are patronized by many families traveling on vacation . There is a place for that type language . I don't know how long her interview was but if she couldn't come up with more interesting...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    You may be o.k. . It isn't a direct link and there is fair warning . I hope you'll e-mail the editor with your protest . I hoped I wasn't being a prude . When I was growing up I never heard a woman using that language . I didn't hear that type of language used by a woman until after I was...

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    I wasn't sure if the link would be allowed because of the language . They can find the article by clicking Claire B Lang on the sidebar . I belong to a forum that constantly deletes links to YouTube because of language in the comments section .

    Female columnist sets poor example for female professionals

    In the latest issue of Pilot's "Challenge" magazine that is available free in all Pilots columnist Claire B Lang interviews NASCAR racer Juan Pablo Montoya . In the interview she quotes the trash term for the rectum 3 times , once quoting herself using it . I informed the editor I will no longer...

    Nascar...

    See , that's how much attention I've paid to the races lately but I agree he can DRIVE better than Jeff Gordon . He proved that in the Chase last year . I've always felt Gordon lucked out signing with Hendricks . Other drivers could do as well or better with the same equipment . Gordon is...

    Fuel Mileage in Cargo Vans

    O.K. , many questioned have been asked before but I haven't noticed this one . Do any of you with diesel vans have performance chips to improve performance and mileage ? I know several diesel pickup owners that have improved their mpg considerably with chips . On the not worrying about payments...

    In the olden days...

    Sure ,but FMCSA guidlines say you can driven an unladen CMV a "reasonable" amount of miles for food or lodging . It gets tricky though . Regulations state you must do a pretrip before operating . That can mess up a 34 hour restart .

    Nascar...

    Rednecks wish that was only true . Real racing was done by rednecks and moonshiners . Then they messed it up building tracks all over the country and attracting yuppie fans . They aren't stock cars anymore and they're not even supposed to intentionally rub fenders . Cheating a little and...
