I've said that the impact to us is the market but I am not seeing the need for the "at any cost" being stated when it isn't needed as much as other issues that are at any costs.

The big boys don't play games like that, only those who think they are big do.

I think 4 overloads a sprinter

The hose pressure seldom exceeds 200 psi with the average being 100-125 psi. The hose burst pressure is around 1200 psi. But depending in the nossle used and distance, the pressure can be less than 40 psi when it hits something.

True but for the most part we have lived with the 34 hour reset and no one has gone out of business. I have a feeling that this will be contested and the court may review it if the lobby money source wants to get it changed.

A lot of things are in the news letter but my point is has anyone produces proof that the tsa has such a program or is this specialtion on fedex's part and no one is supposed to question it? I can understand secure shipments but for the most part I don't see the use of the man power to go to...

So it looks like the sky is falling

Regardless, the question is has this been confirmed by asking fedex about it?

How are we bound to protect their interest? The last time I looked our allies seem to have military that can handle Iran.

No one has yet come up with a clear reason how this is a direct threat to our economy with no uncertain terms of the affect that negativity impacts us immediately. Everything I have yet read puts into terms that it would effect us through others and not directly. Iran is posturing for the most...

Theory aside and rather not valid. There is UAE, Iraq and saudi Arabia we only trade with that may be affected if war broke out but the striaghts in context of our exports do not pose a threat to our economy. The only true threat to our national interest is the market reaction to the shortage...

The only thing that is mentioned is oil and when that happens, most of the unimportant stuff is left out. But with that said our exports seem to come from placed that can have other ports of entry.

Really food and cars and people are our problems? Look if this was the gulf of Mexico or bering straights, yea there is a concern but this is an area that has three counties that are not landlocked so the issues that we are concerned about are based on part our revenge/arrogance and part on our...

Layout what else passes through there? We only should concern ourselves with what we should be concerned about. I read all of these articles and opinions but I have yet seen a good objective analysis of Iran and their actions that explains what is going on with them. All i seen is this bs...

There are two countries that should be stepping up, and we are not one of them. With less than 15% of the world's oil flowing through the straights, the suads need to invest in pipelines to avoid problems like this. But overall with 85% of that 15% going to Asia, it seems that iran's trading...

But at what mileage change cycle and another thought is what does the synthetic oil extend the life of the van which I think would justify the cost.

Oh God the sky is falling This change is made for the million or so drivers who do not drive A straight truck but a tractor which makes up the majority if freight. The problem I see isn't with the same 34 hour reset but the rather dumb restrictions of the time block within that reset. On top...

They vary, you can't get two stacked on a van, unless the are the 30 inch high ones that are used for electronics like instrument panels.

I get the impression that most of you guys are running on such thin margins that you can't afford a DH to somewhere else to get work, am I wrong?

Good question, I don't know because I haven't checked with them yet. BUT it would seem to make me think that because I haven't heard about it before and I can't seem to find anything about it, it may be a mistake or someone in Green may not be thinking. I don't know. BUT I do know our resident...
