And maybe matching 1979 Pittsburgh Pirate style ball caps? Ah, now I have that song running on a loop through my head.

Exactly! I agree with Treadmill. I am on a structured fuel surcharge, but still am able to cover my loaded mile fuel costs with the FSC and still have a few cents/mile left over.

Not really. Diesel or gas, I think we all agree on 4 strokes.:D Unless you're talking the old Detroits. I saw that. I believe it was also posted on here. I'm a bit skeptical about those claims.

Hey Chuck, the nice thing about having a tax accountant is if I end up in a federal prison I will have a cribbage partner. Does Turbo Tax come with a cribbage program?

If you have a local mechanic that you use regularly you could get the DOT inspection done for free. When my van is in for a brake job, I will have them do a DOT inspection. Even if I have 3 or 4 months left on the current one. As long as the van is going up on the lift, might as well DOT it...
