Replaced a bad tire two weeks ago in Texas. The Mgr. told me that Load Range E tires would be discontinued by July and in the future I would have to do to Load Range G tires which were double the cost. Googled the information and found nothing. Has anyone else heard of this?

A few years ago when I bought my Honda 2000 there were add on tanks available that sat atop the generator. It screwed onto the generator in place of the gas cap and held a few gallons. I did not need one then but am trying now to locate one. I have searched this forum, I have looked at Honda's...

Got a call from my Insurance carrier in Ohio that they can no longer provide the type of insurance required by Panther. Panther states that the insurance requirement has been changed fro Non Trucking Liability to Laden/Unladen. Here is a copy of the email they sent to my agent. "I cannot...

I just calculated my percentage of income for the past three years and was curious how it compares to others. I multiplied my net income by my gross income and came up with an average of 13% (including per diem for two drivers) for the past three years. When I take out the per diem my average...

I have about worn out my Ford 7.3 (753,000 miles) and am looking to replace it with a new/newer van. I like the idea of front wheel drive on the Promaster but have a question on traction. Hopefully someone with experience can give some feedback on this question. How does a 2,000 to 3,000 load...

Panther replaced my old Qualcomm with the new smaller type unit and I like it better but I have a question for other users. The new unit takes 10 to 15 minuted to load up when it has been shut off for a few hours. That can be very frustrating when waiting to accept a load or find an address to...

Have been paying $85 for DOT insp for my van. Was in GA today and stopped at a Goodyear garage on the Pilot lot and got the insp done for $29.99 There is a big difference there. I had no idea.

My personal best telephone wait time with the Cat for "All of our professionals are busy helping others..." to answer my call is 27 minutes. I am sure others can top this. Are all Expedite companies like this?

Checked into a Knoxville area motel last Friday and in the room for 10 minutes when the room phone rang. It was from the "Hotel Security". They called me by name and said they had ran my card 10 times and it was refused. I was just getting ready to cooperate with them when the hotel manager...

Always throw out coffee from my travel mug because it gets too cool to drink. Someone on this forum wrote about a Contigo brand mug. I got one off Amazon for $18 and I swear it is the best invention since duct tape. Coffee stays hot for over 4 hours even when half full. These things are great...

Just received the below in an email from the cat. Anyone care to pound or expound on this subject. Friendly reminder, all CDL holders who have not “Self-Certified” with the state licensing agency that issued your CDL must do so by Thursday, January 30th. CDL holders must also send a copy of...

Just got a bill in the mail for this summer's drive on the 407 just north of Toronto. The amount was $10.70 for 14 km, about 8 1/2 miles. It will probably be more after they add charges for using a US check. Don't think I will do that again.

Got a call last month from the Big Kitty offering to replace my PacMan era QC with a newer style. Went to Seville and two hours later left with a small box I did not understand. It took a while to update before being operational but after some exploration it is most usable and a major...

I had always assumed that Ontario was an OK place but nothing outstanding to look at until today. Took a load to Sudbury and the trip from Barrie northward was a real head turner. Multicolored layers of undulating granite, deep rock cuts with rippling rivers through them, sheer bluffs and...

After 2 years of no cruise I added cruise to my 2003 Ford E350 with a 7.3 in Jan, 2012. Bought it from the Cruise Control Store on line. Cost $429 plus $80.00 local labor to install. Over the past 21 months and 180,000 miles it has worked perfectly. It included an new steering wheel cause that's...

I sent the following email to Ill ST. Police but have not received an answer. Anyone know about the legality of police speeding without lights or siren? On 9/24/13 around noon I was driving south on I55 north of Springfield and pulled into the fast lane to pass a slow moving truck. I was...

Returning from Thompson MB last week we picked up a 200 mile run in Winnipeg going to Fargo. We arrived at the border in Emerson MB at 20:00 Friday and sat there until 14:00 Saturday waiting for clearance. This was 18 hours of wasted time with regular reports of "it shouldn'y be much longer."...

I have had the generator in a box on the back door then on a tray in the front and now on a tray in the rear. So far it is working out. Takes a couple more minutes to load and unload but not too bad. The hook on the left is to cinch everything up to avoid vibration and rattle. The just added...

I asked about this sign on the outside entrance to shipping at a major auto supplier. They said H R put it up then asked why I was interested.

Some random food subjects. Never had a bad meal at any Sapp Brothers. Never had a fast meal at any Dennys. Best french fry was at Gates and Sons BBQ in KC, 1/2" by1/2" by 6". The chicken is so small at Popeyes I feel like a pedophile. Travel with a dog who refuses to eat meat scraps from...
