    Dream Team

    I know it is a joke, but believe me I have seen a lot of resumes like this where it tells me what they want not what they offer. There is a lot of truth to what you wrote, I have heard too many people say some of the stuff you wrote and a few I can not believe what they expect as drivers. It...

    Dream Team

    ATeam You need to explain what this is all about. I got a call to look on EO at a resume posting and had to explain this to the lady who read it. But with that said, if this is how people think, this country is in trouble.

    Chevy Van Problem

    GO back to the dealer and ask them to check the power train diag codes, they probably checked the engine control computer. You could also go to PEP boys or anyone with the computer that can check the tranny computer. If the dealer says no, talk to the service manager and tell them you want it...

    Shame on you, LOL I am not in the habit of beating up any one country but because you opened the door, here is my addition to this. This is not to offend anyone out there, but this was sent to me by a good friend, who happens to be French and she is humored by all of it – which she says is...

    Odd Truck??

    I went to Canada on a run yesterday and as I was fueling up somewhere on the 401, I saw a strange straight truck. The driver stood behind me as I paid for my fuel and asked him about it. It is a class 8 Pete 379 and had an integral sleeper and box (looked like a 24 footer), yes all one piece...

    gelled fuel

    Leo There shold be no problems with the fuel, but your filters may need to be changed if there is any contamination present or you want to be safe. $10 filters are easier to change than a $1000 Inj pump. Speaking from experience, I had this problem a few times with winterized diesel (minus 10...

    FEMA deliveries

    Crazynuff Your are right about the storage, FEMA is going through the same crap that most other goverment agencies have gone through - not accounting for assets that already have been purchased. The GAO needs to get involved and AUDIT them and report back to congress to force changes. I see the...

    FEMA deliveries

    Crazytnuff The reason there are so many FEMA orders for trailers is the fault of the governors of the states who tell FEMA what amount of the population is displaced. Once the numbers are in, the plan is set in motion until the count is filled or the governors cancel the need. One problem...

    Hey A Team I don’t want to be considered part of that ‘ilk’ you refer to. Even though the people you mentioned have been nice to me and given me a lot of advice - like you have, I am not part of anything and want to remain so. I posted my comments out of frustration, going though what...

    Expediting Sucks

    Ugotme I hope you read this. Look you have to understand that you got to look at the bigger picture, not a week by week thing but month by month. Yea I sat, yea I felt lied to at times but the recruiter said a 1000 miles a week average for the year and he was honest. Their job is not to be...

    FEMA deliveries

    I checked into this while my truck was sitting (still is) and collecting dust. Beside being told my truck was too old, 97, I also worked with FEMA on service contracts as part of my consulting firm. Ok the first thing is that you have to understand that it is a demand type program and the...
