Pallet Tongs.

I carry a 12'chain, a pair of pallet tongs and a nylon tow strap. If it will fit into my van, it will come out.

I'm not sure pumpernickle is immortal. It's rich brown color and open texture can camouflage the blue-green color of mold. As far as samwiches go, pumpernickle can't be beat. Yummy! I have experimented with the travelability of different breads over the years. Whether traveling by canoe or...

If the "check engine" light came on it should have thrown a fault code. Don't know why the twelve year old mechanic at Auto Bonz couldn't read it. As Greg suggested a trip to the Ford dealer might be in order. I don't rely on my fuel gauge for accurate information. I keep track of my...

Panther has been keeping me very busy the past few weeks. I hope this trend continues into next week as I plan on shutting down for the week between Christmas and New Years.

Monfort, whoa, blast from the past. Most of those Monfort drivers were crazy. They drove way too fast. I know eastern Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska are flat and wide open but it seemed they would continue to build speed the farther east they went. I guess that's why they got a lane named...

I believe size refers to fleet size. Fleet size equates to the total number of units under lease.

Phreak, my condolences on your deer(antelope)truck collision. Better hitting the deer dead on than swerving to avoid it and rolling in the ditch. Sounds as if this trip has all the makings as "THE TRIP FROM HELL". Hope you get fixed up and back on the road soon. Stay out of those sheep bars...

I probably shouldn't haul any more powder cheese loads. Also will the cats on my van be a problem?

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo If you and your wife will be teaming and that rig is over 10,000 GVWR, build a D.O.T. approved sleeper and run a log book. Do you know who your broker's customers are? Or what type freight you will be hauling? A dock high straight truck with...

post script to above post: I have Comcast broaband at home. I downloaded MacAfee protction from Comcast. Okay, my wife did it. Will this protect out on the road. I am totally in the dark with this stuff. I'm having a hard enough time adjusting to a flat, tightly spaced keyboard not to...

Hi everyone my name is Moot. I'm a, a, a, ah newbie to wireless internet. I just bought a Vaio and was hoping to do this wireless internet for free. The prospect of lurking behind McDonalds, motels and coffee shops excited me. I was of the understanding that it was a good place to meet E.O...

Great post Coco. Looking at the picture they look like... well, they look like slippers. I once slit my foot open on a canister style vaccum cleaner. Long story. Anyway I limped into the bathroom, grabbed a maxi pad and headed for the emergency room. The nurse complimented me on my choice...

Great story Greg. Thanks for the laugh. But I'm with Charlene, why would anyone put cardboard across their grill in Alabama? Unless of course it was their Weber grill and they wanted that smokey flavor that only comes from corragated fiberboard. How cold was it? Winterfront in Alabama? I...

Panther has kept me very busy lately. I have had four loads since Monday. One was a mini. I got back home last night and am out of service until Monday. I have a party and other things going on this weekend. Monday morning I'm getting two new tires and then will be ready to roll again...

Is there life after expediting? For me expediting is life after everything else. It offers freedom to do what I want, when I want. And that's the way I like it.

Phreak, shopping at the I-80 for tire chains? Come on you were in the chrome shop. You are the man with the chrome/stainless arm. Hope your trip goes well and that everyones suggestions got to you in time. Extreme cold is nothing to mess with. Be prepared. Watch for over heating and...

Great suggestion arkjarhead. I would just like to add that most OTC rubbing alcohol is %70. Ask the pharmacist for the %90 stuff. It contains less water and lanolin. It cost a little more but works much better. If you end up in a ditch for a week in Canada just add two olives to the alcohol...

I have not been in a big truck in almost 10 years. But I have lived in Minnesota all my life and have operated trucks based out of here for 20 years. Ya you betcha! So my knowledge is a bit dated. Using a fuel additive is a must. I am most familiar with PowerService fuel additive. It is...

Check out www.hellroaring.com for a battery isolator. They make several models for different applications. You can E-mail them with questions and usually get a reply the same day. I bought an isolator for my van a few years ago and have had no problems. I explained my set-up and intended...
