    MPG gas vs diesel

    I don't think it would do any good, it appears we are on different pages. How about you quite your whining and move to South Dakota.

    MPG gas vs diesel

    No, not really. I have no desire to become a carrier. Besides, it is not a very original idea. Your former carrier implemented this scheme awhile ago. "Different" drivers aren't penalized. Owners of gas powered vehicles are getting a slight bonus. You could just buy a gas powered American...

    What is your favorite one...

    I'll get all weird on you and combine "Giant" from the band Giant Sand and their song Cando which included "flash in the pan" in the lyrics; "Flash in the pan, making such a beautiful blue swirl. She was my cando girl."

    MPG gas vs diesel

    Oh yeah! Well if I were a carrier I'd impose an FSC based on the national average of diesel fuel and then pay my contractors an FSC based on the Midwest average. (Stick one of those smiley face things here → )

    Hinge lubrication

    Installing a zerk on each hinge is the only way to lubricate the Chevy side door. One would think by now GM would have solved this problem. My 98 had swing doors, my 04 has a slider.

    Which EO Members...

    Maybe you should define "recently". I believe you were the last E.O. member I met and I think that was last September. Was that recently?

    Telsosemarketers calling our cellphones starts soon

    I received a call from President Obama himself, well actually it was a recording. He promised to lower my taxes, wipe out my credit card debt and give me a low interest guaranteed loan to buy a new van even though I am a middle age, bald white male. How cool is that! I know who gets my vote...

    How is your 2012 so far?

    Oh yeah, 2012. So far so good. I called it quits for a week or so on Friday morning. I delivered about 20 miles from my house and had to be home by today anyway. I've got a dentist appointment today and then I'm babysitting the dog for the week while my wife is away on business...

    How is your 2012 so far?

    Don't forget the celery stalks hanging from the rearview mirror. It worked for Bernie. At least I think it worked for Bernie. Whatever happened to Bernie? Did he ever find that skinny chick?

    Ice Road truckers - behind the scenes

    Does anybody remember the National Geographic special that spawned the IRT show? There was no feigned drama, no competition and no outrageous personalities. It was more a documentary about trucking supplies to the mines in the Northwest Territories when the lakes froze. I found it...

    What Truck stop do you use.

    Being a vanner I prefer Flying J because of their ½ shower credit at the gasoline pumps. I also like that most Js have large parking lots for cars and I can park away from the pumps and store entrance. Since the purchase/merger thing I now buy fuel at Pilots. I like their coffee and prior to...
