Yeah .... I've managed to get 122K+ out of the original Michelin LTX A/S's that the vehicle had on it from the factory ..... the left rear is >3/32nds currently and the right rear is >2/32nds .... but not quite down to the wear bars yet. The fronts are at >5/32nds. These tires had some very...

Yup - NAG1 tranny in the newer ones too. There was some talk of them going with a 7 speed auto before the '07's debutted .... but it never happened.

Yeah ..... but one things for sure - you wouldn't have to worry about the speed rating ..... :D

Easy ...... same reason as you would to a consignee to get loaded ! :D

Ouch !!! ....... well, I guess he is a turtle afterall ...... ..... but I'll bet he's laughing all the way to the bank :eek:

Of course. :) Heheheh ........ that's what I was thinking ..... :D

I have 108" of length available for freight .... my bunk mattress is 36" wide to allow enough area for my entire frame (I'm 6' 1" tall) if I lie on my side with my knees bent. The mattress sits up 2' off the floor so I have considerable depth in the bunk base for storage - I have no bulkhead so...

Yeah .... well not likely ....... but ...... Back in Jan or Feb I was up at American Accoustic south of BeanTown picking up a load and while I was waiting for them to load me I was talking to guy from some expedite company (don't recall who) whose straight truck was in the dock and being...

I was down there for the first time ever, day before yesterday ..... dropped at noon ..... they called me at noon the following day with a load going to AL .... but I had to drive to San Antonio to get it ....... pity ..... I was sorta enjoying the Laredo "cold snap" ..... (mid 90's for a high :D)

A spike in demand here in the US ...... or rise in demand elsewhere in the world ? Also remember - a graph showing a rise in consumption wouldn't necessarily have to look identical (same degree of steepness as the price graph) - it would only have to show a rise in demand with a date...

Couple of final points and I shuddup my mouth. 1. The Smith System is an incredible tool to have in the arsenal - and well worth having - it will utterly change the way you look at driving (this was a non-compensated endorsement) Actually that's not quite true ...... the incident actually...

Well ..... I'm not Hawk but I'll give it a shot: Technically, the definition, as given by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations is as follows: "A preventable accident on the part of a motor carrier means an accident (1) that involved a commercial motor vehicle, and (2) that could have...

Well, the inenvitable just happened ..... I'm sitting over in Holland, MI ..... 350 miles from home ...... and I just got called for a load picking up near here and delivering Monday ..... in the opposite direction, to Illinois. Too funny .......

Well Ken ..... I figured with the long holiday weekend coming some might need a little entertainment :D Yup ... I absolutely do get it :) Well I certainly hope not .... otherwise I'm in lots of trouble ..... at least about the butt part .... :eek: Perhaps it just could be that there are as...

Sorry .... but you are using flawed logic: If you are existing as one thing or another (ie. a man or a woman), then a choice is only required when you choose to be something you actually are physiologically not (a man attempting to "be a woman" - or a woman attempting or trying to "be a man")...

If you are saying that society would cease to exist because homosexuals cannot reproduce you are slightly confused - all it takes (at least in this day and age) for reproduction to occur within the species of man is two biologically functional donors of separate sexes - technology can do the...

There's two East Liberty's in Ohio too - one down by Marysville (Honda), and one about 10 minutes from my home in northeast Ohio. I found that out when I got a call for a load going there and was excited that I would be getting home .... or so I thought ..... wrong East Liberty ......

Hmmm ...... well, judging from the reaction of US-based drivers on here maaybe ..... juuust maaaybe .... this law is having it's true intended effect: If none of you are willing to run into Canada anymore, who's going to haul all those cross-border loads ? Maybe they should have called it...

Since I started expediting I can probably count the number of times I have actually been called by Dispatch for position/location updates on a single hand - and if you add in inquiries via the Qualcomm I'd certainly be able to cover it with both hands .... even if I were missing a digit or two...

I'd guess ..... downtime .... maybe ? It might .... but then it might cost you more too - if you figure in the lost revenue from being out of service for a (potentially) greater length of time.
