Broom, I ran into this a lot; I simply put them in the same category as a drunk – absolutely no excuse for them to be on the road. I am a harsh person when it comes down this issue and don’t hesitate to call people who can take care of this – the cops. Get involved because you are...

Well I got to add something that I should have before. I know after many years in the medical field that there are reasons why there is such a mess with our health system. The actual cost of the medication and supplies has not risen as fast as other aspects of health care but on the other hand...

I am wondering if anyone here does any dyno testing on their trucks? Well anyway here is what I know about dyno testing, it is a relative test of the power of the engine (I know duh) but the test also covers blow by, a measurement of the condition of the rings, pistons etc… and a bunch of...

Detroit diesels are actually made down the street from me. Yea they also make MB engines there and some parts for the sterling. The 8.5 is the series 50 4 cylinder engine and no longer produced. I know of three people who have these engines and they are good engines (have only heard turbo...

Well the JIT has been around for a long time. I see where this would be a boom for FedEx Corporate but divisionally speaking there is something missing. I got a great response back from my two emails, one from the VP and the other from some other person but the latter is like a corporate PR...

RE: YES Passionate Oh no don’t keep quiet – I wouldn’t have anything to do, lol. Ok something to throw in. You know I remember hearing a famous person (tallcal101 would know this person, he is an Oakland native) justify some stuff that is as bad as we hear today. This person who was...

Well seeing I am bored out of my mind and tired of editing websites today, I am going to add something. I am not putting anyone down, your habits are yours –I do agree with Cheri in some respects but I do expect something called civility to take place and usually happens. I grew up with...

I would also ask for an ECM dump to make sure of mileage and hours beside any flagged problems. For some reason this is overlooked.

This morning as usual I get my clothes, food and other stuff loaded in my truck. I rearrange the clothes and sweep out the back, NOP. But today I figure I would work on the bulk head and pull a couple 10 conductor cables from the front to the back to replace the wiring I threw together. I also...

I stay in Ft Pierce, Canavral or somewhere in between Tampa and orlando to cover more than one. I would caution you that unless you like to sit and enjoy the weather, move somewhere outside of florida - as optimistic as I am the freight is too slow for me.

RE: YES Passionate I agree with you (believe it or not) that we are one of the problems, but we are leading – the rest of the world and the media says otherwise but look around, the world wants our money. So how are we leading? Well we were the first to recognize the problem of pollution...

I see that FedEx has dropped the ball – a lack of proper communications. Not to sell FedEx CC short, they’ve done a great job for me so far. They are going around announcing things before they figured it all out? I mean that I asked a question to many people at FedEx, what changes to...

RE: YES Passionate You know Tallcal101; I think that the focus was more philosophical in nature than what actually is happening in our twisted bi-party world. I am not defending W, far from it I have to say that with Kyoto, he did the right thing but with some of the corporations, he has fallen...
