I don't run team and don't really want to until I can convince Heather Locklear to be my co-driver. But those I have talked to say that 5/5 works well because it's a short shift. Studies have shown that getting your rest in shifts is as good as 8 hours straight.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Turkey Day. The Lions sure stunk up the house yesterday. Thanks for the weather report Rich. It's a balmy 8 degrees here in Alpena, Mi. Same as it was yesterday morning. The wood burner is working overtime!

I agree with you Greg. That was a long post. It is a more complex issue than what I had to say and my intention was'nt to try to simplify it. Panzer pretty much stole my thunder on what I was going to say here. I would just emphasize that GM not only needs to improve on concept to showroom time...

My first car was a VW Beetle back in '71. Other than that, all my vehicles have been U.S. big 3. But when it comes to content, the big 3 cover the globe. Even the Harley, whose biggest selling point has been "Made in America", has significant Japenese content. If it was'nt for the big 3 we...

In Michigan the DOT are State Police. Maybe he was irrate because you asked the question in the first place. Obviously, the answer is to log how long you were there.

I have to disagree with you here Lawrence. I've done a lot for Honda, and have done a little bit for the other 2 of the Japenese Big 3. It's always the same type of stuff I haul for the U.S. Big 3. Fasteners, trim pieces, ect. We have the union to thank for this. The good news is that they have...

My $.02 on changing oil is that it's not a big deal to do it once. It's when you do it often that it's a problem. I think the availability of Rotella would make it worthwhile. Free food? I'm there, dude!!!

TJ, from reading your recent posts it sounds like your doing better than you were when we met at the J. Where did you end up? Also, I talked to a guy who had a late '04 model and he said that the requirement for synthetic had been droppped. He was using Rotella. I 2nd LDB on carrying filters...

5k is a bit of overkill. With expediting being allmost all highway miles, I find that 40k seems to be enough. I get up to 200k out of a set of Good Years.

For some reason, far out and groovy seem like the apropriate responce.

Cheri, are you with the 2 headed cat? I've heard that they are not yet FAST approved. Maybe Davekc or someone can confirm that.

The trucks are only going through Windsor because they have to get to the bridge. The vast majority are'nt stopping for much more than a cup of Timmies, and most of them are getting that in Tilbury. I think business would gladly trade a few ocasional customers so their regulars could get in and...

What if Andy Warhol and Peter Max designed it? You would be driving a Campbells soup can with a rainbow and stars for a box. Whoa!! Everybody run! Her come the topic cops!

RE: Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO ge I have a Powerstroke and I never used my block heater until last winter when my glow plugs began to go away. It would sometimes sit 2 or 3 days in the Alpena, Mi. cold and fire up no problem. Now, I need about 45 minutes of block heater to get...

I would like to see Bill of Ladings standardized and simplified. Only the basic info that's needed, and worded so you know what is actually on your truck. No abbreviations. Consignee phone number and local directions from nearest interstate or major road. Early in my illustrious expediting...

You gotta give mad respect to the lowly ottoman. Somehow it ended up with its own empire.

I would normally NEVER think about disagreeing with Bryan. Having said that... When you see the amount of truck traffic backed up when it's busy, I think you would very quickly end up with a jamed up service center. The Monroe crossing would take half the trafffic around the city. The staging...

An international group is suggesting another one between Detroit(Kwame again? You've got to be kidding me!) and Windsor. I kind of like the idea of one downriver around Monroe. Take some of the pressure off the cities. The problem would be what it would take to hook it to the 401, but I would...

Davekc, are you suggesting that I could end up with T.O. in my truck telling me how pathetic I am and how great he is? And then, making a lame apology because his agent said he should? That would NOT be cool!!

This thread may be short-lived. Once terryandrene speak on a subject, there's not much more that needs to be said.;-)
