Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

OK everyone, not just a gripe post - I need some collective suggestions on how to handle this one: We're in Tampa, Fla trying to get an A/C compressor repaired at the Freightliner dealer and they are completely balking, and refusing to honor the part warranty. The problem is classically...

ISB Cummins in FL70s are well known for their vibration problems, one direct problem associated with them is that the A/C Compressor mounting ears break off at the mounting bracket. Poor bracket design! We've heard that Freightliner in DFW has been able to fabricate another bracket that goes...

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING...

A guy runs into a crowded barber shop and asks the barber how long for a haircut. The barber looks around and says about 30-35 minutes. The guys thanks him and runs out the door and down the street. The barber scatches his head, and passes it off as some kook. The next day the same guy runs in...

A minister during the offertory prayer: "Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..." He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully for a change) leaned over to her...

Hey you-all, I recently read a post by Oceanside and was compelled to give him/ner a positive rating of 'Great Attitude and professional postings' but noted there is no icon or listing for that. Is this a personal choice or a glich in the software? The Gibster

I noticed this paint and technique on a street rod show and had never seen or heard of it - but man did I start thinking of applications on the truck! Since a few others have mentioned their love of chrome I thought I'd share a little research: http://www.innate.com/Paint/Chrome.htm and...

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway. I was thinking about old age and...

After dogging it for about a year we finally gave in and got our FAST Cards. We went thru the whole process, the background check and the interview process, got our cards. Now don't get me wrong, I want a secure America and better border policies as much as the next guy. But when receiving our...

Exercise your grey matter and join in . . .I thought of this after reading the post "stupid things we have done", and then these two happened to me: You Might Be a Redneck Expediter if the luggage you carry in and out of the motel are Wal-Mart grocery bags. You Might Be a Redneck Expediter...

A couple of years ago when we first started expediting we bumped into Glen and his wife and the big Volvo. Great folks, great truck. We had come from driving Prevost motor coaches and were used to all the amenities. We secured a 96" sleeper unit and began talking to other custom and larger...

If you deliver in or around Philly there are 2 easy to get to places in town to park and dine. Get off I95 at the 'Penn's Landing' exit (you'll see the old US Steamship liner along the waterfront for a landmark). Follow the waterfront west to Oregon Avenue, and turn north/right. Just past the...

Fifth Wheel Truck Stops in Canada have a brochure about a 'Hydrogen Splitter' type add-on; indicate more power and better mileage. Supossidly you only add water to a canister, it does the rest. The week after we saw the brochure a local shop owner in Atlanta called and kinda mentioned using our...
