Normally I don’t answer the door when strangers call but today I did. Thinking this guy is a JW or Mormon I took a chance anyway, but turned out someone who wanted to know about FedEx CC. Got to move my van; this is the second one in two weeks, LOL. Well he has a neat van; it has a popup...

There really isn’t anything wrong with using straight VO but there is a problem with the oil if it is unrefined or straight out of the bucket – mainly with the fuel system becoming clogged with fat that is removed with refining of the oil. I know one person who used straight peanut oil...

I am posting this in the general forum just so I get the message out. If the modirators feel it needs to be move, go ahead. -->Don’t give your personal information out to anyone. As of today I have counted 95 different emails in my inbox from my main account and around 135 from my other...

After reading this thread, I don’t doubt that you would be a good leased owner/operator – driver and that you would not have a problem paying things off. But you know this is not about putting you down with this idea. Many of us learned hard lessons in business and in some ways it is...

You know if you really want to change this, get involved. First it is the taxes that make up a lot of the price. Here in Michigan we have sales tax on top of the excise tax on every gallon of fuel. That is WRONG. Things like Bio-diesel, Ethanol and other alternative fuels can be used IF the...

Well kg I am going to make it a little longer. I agree with kg, 100%. I have zero toleration for drinking and driving – especially when someone is driving anything that can destroy things, like a 40 ton out of control truck. My feelings are such that if you get caught the vehicle you are...

I wanted a cup of coffee and stopped at one of the thousands of Starbucks after I delivered. I wanted to have my usual, coffee of the day/week with a shot of espresso – something that we had in my family long before it was in vogue here in the states. Now to many of my overseas relatives...

Thanks again, I never had problems with the optima's and I had a couple AGM aircraft batteries (got them free and they fit) in my other dodge and they are still going strong after 6 years. I am going to replace the red tops next week because of the prorating of the battery. I will look at the...

>the industry’s first >factory-installed application for full-size vans. I thought that Ford had this in Canada on a limited basis and that D-C was installing them for the last 30 50 years along with VW in their vans. Maybe I am wrong.

Laura, Well we are all stupid people; we work as independent contractors who for the better part are pretty much on their own. I am not defending FedEx CC; they seem to be the same as most when it comes to some issues. Compassion, most of us have a lot of compassion and help when we can to a...

I guess I lied that I won’t say anything else. Highway star, You know you make a really good point and you are right on the money, it is just expediting. You are also right it needs to be controlled to some point, but as Denny pointed out, why somewhere else. As for exclusion, I don’t...

Phil, a response is rather hard to write, seeing that I think you missed my point. And I read your bio, your point? You know I do agree with some things you are saying, but the way I see it the simplicity of the idea and what impact the information and its delivery can make is overshadowed...

I sit here reading this thread and I see something that seems to be a little over the top. Maybe no one wants to say this, maybe no one cares or maybe I am the only one who finds some of this rather well ... slightly .... just a little bit ... self-serving. I have to say something because of my...
