You have to flip the range selector up and move the stick through neutral and all the way back to the low hole...about 1 second. Pre-selecting the range before the shift could shave about ¹/¹º of a second off the 1 second average. Seriously, when you say average speed, are you referring to...

Scott Simon from NPR? Is the same NPR where the "voices" use the words actually, literally and obviously every 5th word and add a heaping dose of ums and ahs in between as filler when not reading from script. Um, aw, actually I digress...um literally I ah...um...was trying to um, come off as...

I thought this was going to be a disgusting post about food poisoning and it's aftermath. Thank you for not continuing in that vein and kudos for a job well done!

It was probably made in Mexico also: Santiago Tianguistenco, Mexico, Truck Manufacturing Plant KM 23.7 Carretera LaMarquesa-Tenago CP 52600 Santiago Tianguistenco Edo de Mexico, Mexico 011-52-72-79-2574 Established: 1991 Products: Freightliner's Business Class M2 medium-duty truck models...

The diagram in this link Advanced technology differentiates Meritor looks like a standard twin screw except for that thing on the front axle that looks like an auxiliary gear box. Is the front axle capable of becoming a drive axle when needed?

When I was in LTL I loaded at a large hair care products manufacturer first thing in the morning. It was a live load from a conveyor belt to the floor of the trailer. Every Christmas they gave me a large box of hair care products; shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, gel and moose. A couple...

Does Honda recommend using alcohol free gasoline?

Sure it was! Gadhafi was a great boogeyman to rally the troops against. This country is rapidly losing a face to personify evil. Prior to Gadhafi's demise we lost Bin Laden, Saddam, Khomeini, Pol Pot, Khrushchev, Ho Chi Minh and O.J. to name but a few. Kim Jong and Castro's days are numbered...

Ken, do you usually burn premium gas in your Honda? I have an 8 year old Honda lawn mower and use only regular E-10 gas and have never had a problem. Runs great and starts with the first pull.

The original poster was concerned with diesel fuel. Alcohol absorbs water and is carried through the fuel system and is burned in the combustion process. That is why it is a major ingredient in winter fuel additives for gas engines and is also the main component of air-line antifreeze...

Since this is a blast from the past, here are a couple of links from the past that should still be relevant today: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/22573-additives.html http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/22250-preventing-gell-up.html In my gasser van, I'm sold on...

Unplug the link way before you get to WallyWorld to avoid giving up your position.

Another benefit is the tax deductions as an O/O, especially when put up against a second, larger income.

I think because it varies wildly it is easier to deal with than weekly rotating shifts. We never really get an established pattern (1 week) so that in it self becomes our "pattern" and like you said: "Grab as much sleep as you can, whenever you can..." At least we have the luxury of going out...

Wow, the Fed! I'm surprised! This post had another carrier's finger prints all over it.

The TSA is wasting their time targeting trucks and buses. The vehicle of choice for 9 out of 10 terrorists is a plain white van. The TSA should start VIPRing all vans or just ban all vans from America's highways.

My van doesn't go fast enough to make crossing multiple time zones a problem. Maybe if I cross a time zone on November 2 at 02:00 just as we go off Day Light Savings Time I'll turn into a zombie or something. On December 31, 1999 I talked my two kids and 7 neighbor kids, we were all staying at...

No, just a reference to Sherlock Holmes and his cocaine habit. He injected a 7% solution of cocaine and sterile water into his veins. I thought maybe you upped his recipe by 3% and that prompted you to post this nonsense. There's a good chance your 10% solution will accelerate the spread...
