    Idling time vs. miles driven

    Gm did a study on this a while ago and they came to the conclusion that there were too many variables involved. Idling speed with no load is not the same as with a load for the engine and even with the pto speed control, there has to be a load on the engine to make the comparison. I don't know...

    I want to set up the Expediters Hall of Fame the right way.

    I was warned and now it happened. Dave, I would like to remind you that when you needed somebody to talk to when you were getting beaten up over it, I stood solid in my advice while not criticizing one eo member about what they said on the subject. Phil said what I said to you over a year...

    I want to set up the Expediters Hall of Fame the right way.

    I did help him but for some reason, most of the advice was ignored. To be exact, Phil echoes a couple key things I suggested not just once but a number of times which is more than I do for paying customers. I think Phil has read some of my comments about the subject and are repeating them when I...

    The Sprinters Blimps

    The CDL has nothing to do with the truck but by being required to have a CDL, the physical is part of maintaining the CDL. Whether or not you can drive a van is really not the issue, the issue is how does the state - there is no federal enforcement - handle the issue and how does the carrer's...

    New to the site

    Yeah - know your business. Be professional and track expenses and money carefully. Most fail because they don't do this first and lose site of what it takes to live on the road while making money for bills at home.

    I hate my headlights

    There are a few writeups about how to do the Volvo lens right on some of the RV sites. Most of what people miss to complete the 'restoration' is not to put anything on the lens that protect is from the UV. 3M makes a good kit but lacks that coating. I think a good UV clear paint is needed.

    The Sprinters Blimps

    The truck has zero to do with the dot physical - if the company requires a CDL, it will have to be done in order for you to maintain the CDL. The insurance has something to do with this, some states don't require one for things under 26k. You will have to "register" the DOT physical with the...

    So sad.

    Well one thing that I find that doesn't work is when people make claims of helping if they are there, chances are they wouldn't.

    So sad.

    I don't see the people as good as some do, it seems many don't even step up and help but just want to watch and remain that way. As for Kitty Genovese, sorry to step on any toes but being gay had nothing to do with it, it is a serios problem and more so today than when that happened. I think...

    So sad.

    Well you don't seem to look around much. See the issue has been discussed a lot of times before and things like this is more common than one would think. From cases going back to the mid-19th century to Kitty Genovese to the toddler in china and now an old man getting ignored. The vet thing has...

    Worse has happened here. It is the mentality of people that always has been.

    Condoning religious violence?

    How's that? He wasn't stopped worshipping his religion nor stopped criticizing his religion so his freedom of religion was not harmed. However he was assaulted which is a crime.

    A Question for Express-1 Contractors

    Seeing this is an investment question and there is a lot of left out information, the value of the company in the form of the stock does not necessarily reflect the reality. The problem is with the revenue of $90m in any statement like this raises a few questions. 1 - how much of that...

    Condoning religious violence?

    I see it more of a problem of having a predetermination than that of an appearance of Sharia Law. It appears that the judge has made up his mind before hand and possibly based this on the ideals of being a convert, which is a problem in the Muslim religion from what I've been told. Now he is a...
