    The Future (End) of Truck Driving is Closer Than You Think

    Maybe your expensive GPS is just messing with you. I'm sure you leave it locked up in a hot truck without food or water for long periods of time. Maybe it's payback time!

    The Future (End) of Truck Driving is Closer Than You Think

    Probably, although it would be the last race it would ever run in. I don't believe a robot would survive the victory celebration. Champagne, stale Budweiser or whatever it is they hose down the winning driver with would more than like short out the robot's electronics. As for robots in the...

    He's been dead for a long, long time. Check out the cover of Abbey Road. Need more proof, play "Revolution Number 9" backwards, Paul clearly says: I'm dead. Or maybe he says: Um Phred.

    My mistake! Ringo is the only living Beatle. I'm pretty sure both Georges; Harrison and Carlin are still dead though.

    Pyro temperature

    Check the air filters and filter holders for debris or blockage. Reduced intake air can lead to high exhaust temperatures. Do you have an air restriction gauge? Is it reliable? Are you lugging the engine before dropping a gear? Do you notice excessive smoke from the stacks as the...

    Smoke this one over.

    You put the kid on the ground you could damage your car when you drive over them. I've pulled empty trailers over wheel chocks. The tires on the leading axle tend to cause the chock to flip and turn 90° allowing it to get stuck between the duals on the trailing axle. It's somewhat difficult...

    Dave, you may be thinking of pjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj. She's up dare in Ontario also. I asked Scott to jack up Piper and get him to post again. Both Piper and pj were great sources of info and they offered an alternative Canadian view point. Now pretty much all we have is...

    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Those are respectable numbers for a high top gas engine van. What is your average open country freeway cruising speed? Does your van burn E-85? If so, how often do you fill with E-85? What is the axle ratio?

    The Future (End) of Truck Driving is Closer Than You Think

    Yeah, I guess. I'm a fan of the British t.v. show Thomas The Tank Engine And His Friends. I first watched the show on PBS with my kids. This Americanized version was called Shining Time Station and starred Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor Man. When he died, George Carlin starred in the role of...

    Maybe that robot burger Scott buys with his credit card will be a soylent green robot burger. What else does the future hold; trains without cabooses and brakemen? Say it ain't so.

    Yeah that, or put the 10 trailers on a choo-choo train and leave the trucks in New York.
