Greg, this is a little of your subject but I heard on one of my talk channels about using flash drive technology in new computers. This is supposed to really help the lap top industry and make a tougher computer. What have you heard on this and what do you think?

MoonProwler, so glad you have left the world of lurkers! Glad to have you here.

Leo if you add the pusher axle as a accessory and not as an axle how hard would it be for a auditor to figure out what that accessory is? I believe that is the standard practice it to not buy the extra axle at the dealer you purchased the truck from to avoid the tax. I have even heard of the...

Broom it doesn't matter even if you ride and have a CDL. The CDL actually make the situation worse in most ways. I had to about sign my life away when riding with Bob that I would not drive the truck when he drove for USX. I was also a rider for many years and was even fearful of pulling the...

Our income is up a great $725.00 and our miles are up 1,934. Our dead head miles are way up due to a decision we made to be at the MATS truck show! If not for that our dead head miles would be about equal to what our income shows. We are still sure this is going to be another really good year...

John O great job! That just goes to show if you can keep your foot light on the petal you will get great returns. We still have not broke eleven mpg but it sure hasn't been for lack of trying.

We also have a Fantastic Vent and use it when ever possible. The problem with the Fantastic Vent is that if you are parking near a running truck you often pull in those fumes so our vent will stay shut. Are vent also has a moisture sensor and if it even thinks it is going to rain it shuts! It...

Another way of looking at this is they try to get to far away and you just move in with them! Our daughter moved from sw Kansas to Saint Louis we decided she was in the freight lanes and we chased her down! It is great she takes care of all of our mail, the apartment we show up once in awhile...

We have found in the summer that we can not live with out our table top fan. We spent some amount of time in a Wal-Mart studying the fan isle. They make your selection really pretty easy as they have so many fans running you can really check them out. We segragated each fan and tried it and...

We thought it was going to be in Fort Worth TX with snow and rain showers but now it will be in sunny Harlingen TX.

Broom!! You cleaned toilets and we mowed yards! We had a very successful mom and pop lawn care business and that was a money maker. Hard work does pay because that is how we had our very large down payment. As a first time truck buyer you need the large down payment to get most truck...
