As far as what you're breathing in--- that's already a lost cause. Check your windshield. I have to clean mine on a fairly regular basis inside. Looks like I smoke four packs a day in there, and truth is I've never smoked. That comes from fumes from our wonderful padded dashboards. Vinyl in the...

Are you able to test the AC on "shore power"? I'd be betting the rent right about now that the AC has seen better days, but if it starts OK on "shore power" then maybe the Honda has had it. Seems to me that a 2,000 watt generator might be a little small for powering an air conditioner...

Funny thing about that-- I am a first-born. Maybe vanning is my chance to get away with the stuff I never could when I was the first of four.;)

I was gonna point out that the "Ford" was either a Chevy or a GMC, but somebody already caught that. Question though. I can understand-- maybe-- blowing past a "Road Closed" sign-- but how on Earth do you not see a hole in the road like that one? Unless it opened just as he got there, he had to...

I've been watching this for a while. I've reached the point where I credit the notion that vans are gonna get regulated/disappear and solo straights are gonna disappear to the snooty "we're better than you" TT/team straight crowd. For some reason these snobs always look down their patrician...

"Delivering pharma for ------" puts me on alert faster than anything. I imagine backing up to a warehouse, loading my van with cheap freight, then spending the rest of the day unloading the van on an impossibly long route. Complicate that with the fact that the pharma will have orders and...

Wait a minute! Isn't it supposed to be the guys who trick a woman to come to his home to play "doctor"? Beyond that-- I know some truckers have a reputation for being dumb as a bag of hammers, but I would think if a chiropractor or a psychiatrist starts giving DOT physicals that should raise...

One skid at 1,000 lbs, going 300 miles. You can put that in a van and pay van rates. The van isn't going to disappear soon, simply because small loads aren't going to disappear soon.

Personal experience: I've learned to get scared the instant I hear "company warehouse". I know as soon as those words are uttered, I'm going to work for next to nothing and hear about how bad a driver I am because the route is ridiculously sized, my van is overloaded and the rate being paid per...

Ragman, that's a phaser. Standard Starfleet side-arm, used by security. Since Red-Shirts had a tendency to beam down to the planet but had trouble not getting killed so they could beam back to the ship, I suggest not depending on hand-phasers. Now, the Klingon disruptor, on the other hand--...

What about undocumented space aliens? Do we get to vote too? Sorry about that, had to throw that one in. On other forums, I use that phrase right under my user handle, so I know there's at least one undocumented space alien around, who has been voting for quite a while now.

So, let me see if I got this straight. (Can't tell the players without a scorecard, so they say.) Layoutshooter wants to abolish public schools because, in his view, they serve only to indoctrinate and only teach facts as a side to indoctrination. Cheri thinks this is a bad idea because most...

I am not arguing that point. The First Amendment doesn't compel you to have any religion. It does however state that the government can't prevent the free expression of religion. ASJ is trying to do just that however-- have the government compel people to leave their religion at church, so his...

If you believe in nothing and are teaching nothing, then you have nothing to say......Hmmmm, might want to think about that a bit, don't you think? Or maybe you think nothing. That could be-- ahhh-- interesting.

Did you ever actually READ the First Amendment? You know of course that laws that aren't Constitutional only last until they're challenged, and your desired laws that force religion out of the public arena are unconstitutional. You require us to check our beliefs at the door so that your virgin...

Question: Are the public schools really public, or are they just for atheists? Think about that before you try forcing your atheism on my kids.

ASJ, you certainly have the right to no religion if that is your desire. You do NOT have the right to force everybody else, by law, to have no religion. Rights are for everybody--- not just you. If you read the First Amendment carefully, you will not find "freedom from religion" listed anywhere...

Gotta love magnetic signs. Once the freight is delivered, the signs come down and get stowed, then the vehicle is as off-duty as I am until the next run. I would say a lot depends on who actually OWNS the vehicle. If it's your vehicle that you're driving, the company would have to have a lot of...

OK. Real short and real serious. There are no LEGAL HOS rules regarding the under 10K crowd as long as we're not hauling hazmat that requires placarding. You, however, are possessed of a human body just like the rest of us, and sometimes that body gets tired. If you don't get rest when you...

I regularly get info from a skeptic blog (WUWT), and it would seem that lake levels will, indeed, be higher this year than normal. 91 percent ice cover, which slowed the usual evaporation of course, and the relatively high snow cover (snow melt plus rainfall = higher water levels) combine to...
