    California ???

    I have some close friends who have TVAL trucks with FECC and they have trouble finding drivers because their empty trucks are not California eligible. These friends are drivers themselves and they are very considerate of their drivers. What puzzles me is why all these drivers want to go to...

    Rear Air Conditioner

    Does anyone have any knowledge of how the Transit or others use a rear AC? Does it interfere with the cargo area. Years ago the rear AC's we installed on hi-top vans took up quite a bit of space but the hoses connecting with the compressor ran underneath the van.

    New Knee

    Finally got my other knee replaced at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. It's painful but necessary for my future. Mayo is so great, they make you feel as though you are special. Food is gourmet level with room service ordering and most is centered on the Med. diet. Salmon steaks have 4 different...

    S o s

    SOS (stuck on stupid) when it comes to the "global warming crowd" or now as they want to known as "climate change". Most of us who been around for a while know from experience that weather runs in cycles. I am for clean air ; however, if the far east does nothing then you are back to zero. It...

    Self Protection

    Was wondering if anyone carries one of those gas charged pellet guns with clips? Are they legal everywhere? It seems to me it could be used as a weapon of last resort if someone is determined to enter your vehicle.:confused::):cool:

    ABC Stores

    Thinking of starting a retail chain "ABC: Anybody But China" LOL. I usually look hard at the labels hoping for anything not from China. About 33% of New Balance is USA made and I am fine with Taiwan or some friendly countries if USA is not available. Just spent almost $70 apiece for ball joints...

    Obama offers Bush Relief

    Sunday saw that George Bush is no longer responsible for all Obama failures not it's Fox News according to the President. Does this Man accept any responsibility? I was in the Military for 23 years and the person who always blamed others almost never advanced beyond the lower ranks. Perhaps it...

    T-Mobile

    What are all your opinions about T-Mobile? I am in Fountain Inn SC and when I am at Naval Base Mayport Florida and Verizon lets me down frequently in both places. My wife has a TracFone and I believe it's on the AT&T network and it works better than Verizon but still nothing to shout about. I...

    Before good GPS

    When we started with Roberts Express in the late 90's we did not have GPS. Directions were horrible and up to guessing. Usually they were given by who ever was available and it was their way of finding their way to work. Easy part was to see if they were coming from the north then you would have...

    Cargo Van Best Insulation for Van Floor

    We used the stock cotton like blanket under the wood floor in our van, but it really didn't do the job. Was wondering if anyone has tried using 1" planks with foam between to give a little lift before putting on the plywood floor with e track? Or has someone done that aluminum insulation that's...

    Dispatchers same or changed?!

    Started in the 90's with Roberts and most of the dispatchers reminded me of that old movie "mother jugs and speed" with Raquel Welch, Bill Cosby and Larry Hagman. The moral of the movie that they were competing ambulance companies and whoever got to the patient got the fee. They'd set with their...

    Entitlements

    I have always thought entitlements are too general in description. I believe they ought to be divided into at least 2 divisions. Earned and emergency. Earned would be like mine for retirement from the U S Navy and emergency would be for persons that need temporary help. What are your thoughts or...

    Confused?

    Well this white boy grew up in south central Los Angeles in the 50's. I am a member of the tea party and I am for Dr Ben Carson for President. Previously I was for Herman Cain. Does this make me a Tea Party racist. My hero Harry Truman would not be welcome in either party these days especially...

    Ford Full Size Transit

    Received an e mail from Ford yesterday and they are stating the first Transit's are scheduled to be on Dealer's lot by late June 2014 and it will be a 2015 Van. I am wondering how much available floor space will be available. It seems as though the ProMaster Van will only give approx. 5' for a...
