    owner lease purchase

    Atta way T. Myself, I represent that remark about the $33,000 truck being junk. Seem we are in a payment oriented world. We'd rather have $2500 a month payments, hoping that the horse will live a little past the payments. Heaven forbid if we have to turn the radio down a bit to listen to see...

    Ford to close Norfolk

    Gee wizz, Does not surprise me those locations mentioned are on the chopping block. Over the years I've delivered to all of them and, did not have ONE positive delivery experience, with Norfolk being the absolute worst. Seems like the "right of passage" in obtaining a pay (welfare) check...

    Are cargo van runs realy THIS slow right now?

    Seems to me by the news, GM Delphi offering buyouts to folks that the van ranks will very likely increase in numbers. I am not as gracious as Dave, I see people getting into vans for the reasons he mentioned, but, I call it screw'in the pooch, or, at least trying to. Unfortunately, it comes...

    Time to band together!

    I live in Indiana and have never purchased more of this expensive fuel than the miles I run. Those of you that think you're getting over buying cheap fuel in Indiana, are sadly mistaken.

    Common Reasons Why O-rings Fail

    Problems with the International 4400 DT466

    Whenever I purchase a vehicle from anyone, the check slides across the desk in their direction and at the same time the title and all other documentation slides across the desk in my direction. No exceptions. You cannot allow anyone to shuffle paper after the fact. Way too many things can...

    First post, lots of questions

    I'd right away get the "TRY" outa your system. With that attitude you won't pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Probably be a disaster. A costly one. You'd better go Teach'in as soon as you can educate yourself another way.
