    trucker hand signals

    May need some help from old timers on this one. Does anyone know the hand signal for smoking/hot brakes? I know the middle finger sign and the sign for flat tire, but today I needed the smoking brake signal for an unsuspecting smoker. eb

    FedEx Custom Critical Transports Sea Turtle Nests From Oil Spill

    I would have been impressed if it was done anonymously. Sounds more like smart advertising. From your advertising account you donate a couple billboard's worth of "resources", and let the newswire do the rest. Warm fuzzies all around.

    New truck, how to protect wood floor.

    I used the Polycrylic like Turtle without knowing the technical reasons that make it better. It does the job for me very well. The year previous when I was hauling art, that company put down some kind of glossy coat for show. We handled everything by hand, and it was a bear moving heavy stuff...

    Funny, as we speak. Got a load offer. Dallas back to Laredo. I didn't even ask for the rate. eb

    22,000 trucks at border stopped by flooding

    You can get out of there at 50 cpm. I just turned it down. Interesting that it isn't a headline story, but FEMA is already handing out money there. eb

    22,000 trucks at border stopped by flooding

    Dallas. More to do with family being there. Then it's a slow troll north and east. I got a lot of writing done. eb

    22,000 trucks at border stopped by flooding

    Thanks, this is the article I've been looking for all day. I just left McAllen. And I wonder about that alternate crossing they talk about at McAllen. Weather report said the water level there is still rising and will do so at least until the weekend, because the reservoir upstream can't...

    I just gave up on south Texas. Where I am the water is still rising because reservoirs up stream can't hold the water they're getting. And up in Laredo it sounds like infrastructure problems on the Mexico side of the border. eb

    R U in Laredo???

    The place I delivered to Saturday was full at that time. They even had freight stacked outside the warehouse. I got redirected. Fortunately I'm empty, but I still sit. Does anyone know how to track the closure? eb

    Lot of trucks pulling into town tonight. Maybe that's a good sign for those trying to get loads off the south border tomorrow. Still in McAllen. eb

    Think it's related to the mess on the border over the weekend? I thought for sure the tie up would create a flood of freight early in the week and here I still sit in McAllen. eb

    by-pass oil filter on Sprinter 07

    That's an interesting idea, Bill. I don't remember if the exit had to be below the filter, but the spinner II is small enough that maybe it could mount directly to the filler cap. I'll have to look at it again. Are you talking about taking oil going to the turbo? Greg, the spinner requires...
