    If you bought a new truck today...

    If I bought a truck today it wouldn't be a new one . The particulate filters raised the price several thousand dollars on new trucks . You can save thousands by buying a well maintained used truck .

    A very relevant fact is Chrysler is now a very small part of Cerebus and Cerebus has no interest in building and selling cars . The main goal of buying Chrysler group was to have Chrysler Financial . Cerebus will sell Chrysler and will not give in to any union demands . Chrysler group is losing...

    Family Friendly Expediting Companies

    I recently read a true article in a Canadian magazine about a driver that decided to take his 5 year old daughter on a quick turn around trip . Along the way she started crying she had an "accident " in her pants . They were on a 2 lane with no shoulder . He decided it would be o.k. to stop on a...

    Canada 105km governors in Ontario

    Most Canadian drivers are professionals . Running from Toronto to Sarnia I probably see 8 or 9 trucks following too closely but that is too many .

    Canada 105km governors in Ontario

    Does anybody know anything about this ? Ontario is pushing to require all carriers operating in the Province to govern their trucks at 105kmh . They say it will reduce tailgating and improper passing . They better get out from behind their desk and ride in a truck going 105 kmh on the 401 and...

    Canada Anybody else have problems with Livingston ?

    I do the same run every week . I get my bills and Customs papers at 8:30 a.m. at Carrollton , KY and fax them to Livingston then . Up until the past couple of weeks I'd call a couple of hours later and they'd confirm the papers were being processed . I'd call again an hour from the border and...

    Q&A

    Here's what I was getting at . People get irrational when figuring tax benefits . Somebody correct me if my thinking is off . Say per diem deduction is $40 a day ( that's close) . Your actual benefit is the tax you would have paid on that $40 which at 15% would be $6 a day . If you were out 30...

    O.K. just 3 questions . How much larger will the tax deductions be ? What will the cost of the apartment be ? Why do you need your own apartment rather than using an address of a freind or relative ?

    idlea laws

    I'm sure she said the company paid for the fuel . Using idleaire would save the company money but be an extra expense to her . Many carriers have contracts with idleaire . You only pay for the time you use . Depending on the weather you could just run it a couple of hours then shut it down if...

    Comments on Kyle Petty's broadcast blooper

    http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/06/24/pettys-potty-mouth/2 . Yes , an actual replay can be found on the web . This will probably have its place in history as NASCAR's most embarassing moment . I wonder how many times in the past week someone has asked Petty " Hey Kyle , WTF ?"
