Nope not saying that they are innocent, but rather that we are being told a bunch of bs because we are too ignorant and emotional about something that actually was our own making. No matter how one wants to look at it, the media has played a roll in vilifying Iran for a need that seems to be...

How about just getting under the truck and measuring the width of the drum? Chances are the ford dealer will tell him what brakes he has, I think even Napa can tell you that. OH deville, did you look at the axle code? That's a quick way to see what axle it is and with that, you can get the...

That's just fuel, right? When you add maintaince into the mix, then you may see anywhere from 10 to 25 cents an hour depending on the generator. Mine is somewhat older one, so it runs about 6 to 8 hours on a gallon of gas, the newer one runs like yours, 1/10 an hour but it is not going on the...

What should be asked for those with an APU or a generator what is the operating cost of that APU or generator. My generator cost at this time is 68 cents an hour, so even at a buck, it is cheaper for to run the generator.

I have several 50 foot 14 gage cables that I have made. The plugs can be had at places like West Marine and Camperworld. The cable that you have is made for a lot of amperage moving to a Motor Home (like an electric stove, rooftop A/C and full size fridge) and you, like me don't need much. I...

Actually this is a good indication of a failed society.

So we reap what we sow, isn't that what the saying is? Why is it that people quickly forget what we did? We meddled in Iran's affairs and it came back to bite us on the a** so now we are victims? The term Iran or any news about them is met with the same contempt equal to if it was news...

The question that has to be asked is Before venturing into being a fleet owner, did you actually drive a truck?

You get caught with usingagnetic signs, you will be fined. They have to be secured to the vehicle in such a way that they don't come off easily. The van is a tool as a truck is so sticking to the van should not be a big deal - if it is, don't accept the load.

OK so now what does someone want to do? If anyone pays attention to the news, they had a revelation that Al Qeuda is supporting the Syrian protesters, which in part they said something about supporting Libya, Egypt and so on. So if the Iranian government gets toppled, who do you think will...

Blizzard, one of the issues I have seen is the freight going through three or four layers of brokers who repost it on different load boards hoping for a bite. I have a lot of examples from LS's own board of this happening and while even NLM loads got posted on another load board, NLM and...

Well I don't know... it could be about 99.999% at this point. But see here is the thing, I wonder because most of us who are doing this thing a bit differently have questions that are not really discussed here. Most of what people seem to talk about is speculation and assumption of how...

This may be a good solution. Seeing that a lot of people in this industry scream about cheap rates so less brokers mean less layers that the freight has to go through.

Something is weird about this thread, especially the last 20 or so posts.

Cheri, It was the Virginia Tech study of accidents that the FMCSA and the doctor advisory group used the sleep apnea guidelines we have to deal with. The study is flawed in many ways, the first being the fact that the study didn't interview people but used incomplete and inconsistent data from...

I'm courious how much of this information helps a majority of people here? I mean, and in defense of my post, a handful of people understand what's going in and why this is important, while the OP may not be one. There are questions we like to have answered but those questions may come from...

I know his was a quart low, which given the engine WOULD not show on the gauge, but it means he isn't checking his van out too often - how often should he check? maybe every 3000 miles? Read what he said - Can cold mess with the oil pressure gauge when its idling? Not really - oil warms...

Wow, another one? You know when I see someone on the side of the road or with a truck that don't start and I find out they don't have oil in the sump, I am happy to sell them a few gallons for $50 a gallon. Friday while I was over in Canada, there was someone from one of the majors sitting in...

Yes Moot's point is put very well but it seems to reinforce something that I see too often, people ask advice then get all incredulous when there is opposing opinions are offered. I have been on the road, not doing this job but others for a while, since 1979 in one form or another. The problem...

Sorry dude but a lot of stupid people do stupid things with children around. I have this issue with kids in trucks but to each their own. The problem I see is that if something happens to the kid, you are the only one to blame. Sympathy may be difficult to find and you will have someone to tell...
