Reading all this reminded me of why after a couple showers in truck stops I went completely to baby azz wipes and hospital wipes in the comfort and safety of my van.

After the rear edge of my GMC van got chipped away by careless fork truck drivers, I thought about making the first six inches of the rear floor a separate piece. That way if it got too buggered up it could be easily replaced without replacing the whole floor. Just replace the six inch edge...

Having spent 12 years in Catholic schools many years ago, I thought I had heard all the nun jokes going around.

Anybody out there in a Chev/GMC Panther van painted bright yellow. I saw you in Chesterfield Indiana Fri eve. Nice ride.

Community Service One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replied, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber came to open his shop the...

I built mine and it also was quite comfy. Read some of the earlier threads. There is a lot of good info and quite a few pictures.

Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other...

Heard on the news that Indiana is closing or discussing closing of several rest stops. Didn't catch the details.

New or used I would go for the 3500 one ton unit. Won't cost much more and has larger payload.

What are speed limiters? How do the work? Who sets them? Etc etc etc?

Leo wrote "Thank goodness there are some democrats with some degree of brains and common sense"... I can't believe he actually wrote the words "democrats" and "brains" and "common sense" in the same sentence.

I have read that many of the immigrants who came over here legally in the early 1900s went to night school to learn to read and write English. They were really proud when they came home and could read the newspapers to their families. Now they want the whole country to speak their native...

How your freight is secured in a C/V or cutaway is probably as important as how it is constructed. In case of an accident your freight will probably let go before the truck gives away. That is very comforting when you have two steel skids of metal parts weighing a couple thousand pounds riding...

When you have weird light problems, particularly turn signal problems, the first thing to do is check the light ground.

If someone other than a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant tries to attack you, will it still work? How about a Mexican Catholic, or a Black Baptist?

My wife and I go to a local eatin' hole on occasion. We normally share a chicken dinner. They serve very large portions. I told the waitress we wanted to share a two piece all white meat chicken dinner and we wanted two hooters. She did a double take when my long suffering wife translated...

Thanks, ATeam. Went to the site, sent an email with my prob and my new bff Justin M sent me a reply. Went to the site he mentioned, downloaded something, and my GPS now talks to me. I have a talky wife, and our ten year old talky granddaughter spent three days with us and my ears are...

I recently got a refurbished Garmin Nuvi 760 GPS. My daughter used my car to drive about three hours to southern Indiana. All was well going down. Coming home, she said the screen was blocked by another screen that said the unit was downloading Bluetooth software. Luckily she found her way...

I forgot to mention that when I went for my second, third, and finally fourth CDL driving exam I had to back the TT around some cones in a curve. Don't remember exactly how, but when you backed and turned, just hold onto the wheel and the trailer would do what it was supposed to do. Well...

Sorry, SKIDROCK, I didn't want to raise up any horror stories right before you take your CDL test. That's like telling an expectant mother all the horrible delivery stories or a person going for surgery all the hospital stories. If anyone brings up any stories, hope you might learn from them.
