At 60mph on fairly level roads my 2008 Chevrolet 3500 Ext was able to average 19 mpg and occasionally I got 19.5.

Are these "Rumble Strip" issues related to the 5 cyl inline engine only, or are they also found in the V-6 engines?

The story came in an email to me without a reference as to the author. Thanks, I'll have to get that book. A tip of the hat to Slo-Ride for having some empathy. We don't see much of that either. Education without salvation is ****ation. Men have become such educated folls they now...

DON"T DO THIS!!!!!!!

Just to make sure that everyone understands...in this post I was NOT referring to any carrier that advertises on this site. And I quote: General Expediter Forum This General Forum Covers All The Topics, Subjects and Issues of Concern To People In The Expedited Trucking Industry. Let's work...

Let's not major on the minors. Obviously, the USPS can lose a letter. It is not a perfect world. The point was that when a transportation company owner continually uses the excuse that he has not received the check that would satisfy his obligation to an O/O who made the delivery on time and...

I particularly like Bolt's newest smoke and mirrors . You go to their website and look at the "Truck Availibilty". One is lead to believe that all of the trucks posted are in Bolt's fleet. Not! Fact, there are no disclaimers on the site. What you are looking at is the GPS.net board...

In the past few months there appears to be a increase in the number of folks who are not getting paid for their work. Some carriers have changed their time frames for settlements, but some of the little guys with a few trucks have become outright liars when it comes to paying those operating...

Of course, as lease O'O's what you are not seeing is that carriers are offering their loads to independents for lower rates first. If they can't get an independent to cover it for less money it then gets offered to a truck in their fleet. The next time you are sitting in a truck stop watch...

Two Choices What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice? At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the...

How funny! You guys are a hoot. Racism! What a joke! Nice try. It was expected; a tendency to resort to personal attacks in an attempt to discredit someone with an opposing view. Yawn... If you read back through my previous posts in the months preceding Barrack's rise to power, you would...

In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor; " Barocky Road ". Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes. The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually...

Hater/ By Maya Angelou A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some...

Many have attempted to post "all" of the facts, but their posts get moved to the netherworld where no one can see them or mysteriously disappear altogether. Come on...think about it for just a moment. My previous post was moved and I never uttered the first word about any carrier. I...

Good point Piper. Based upon your "opinion" regarding Drive-By 5 rule...a long time member with many posts who then posts something that seems "out-of-character", so to speak, might actually have a valid "opinion". I'll make it a point to carefully consider such information in the future...

It took 3 years to find the right niche. Now that I am getting on in years...it is imperative that I spend the greatest amount of time with the love of my life. A little 100lb 5'3" gal that has stuck with me through thick and thin. Tell you a funny story. I bought a...

Because it is all opinion anyway...who cares? I say...let it ride. Let each individual reader decide what they want to gather from the posting. Let them eat the meat and throw away the bones according to their own personal choice. Take what you want and leave the rest.

Since I started carrying drugs I am home every night. Occassionally, I will frequent one of the major truck stops to fuel. Can't say that I miss the smell of urine wafting across the parking lot on a warm spring day. And who couldn't get excited about the wonderful aroma of the food at the...

Does it really matter whether someone has posted once, twice, three times or up to the magical number of five to include content thay "may" be deemed as a negative post regarding any particular issue? If that is the rule would it not seem logical that a person will post five times in order to...

Greetings my friend... Thanks for the kind words. As you can see from the number of views, it is as I told you it would be. Pretty much a "good old boys club" i.e. read clique. The records I showed you were proof enough, eh? You post the truth and wham, bam...your banned. Post...
