    Detroit Lions Only NFL Team To Lose Money

    The team hasn't been playing professional football for decades and can lose to Seaholm or Southfield HS if they play them. The stadium, which we subsidize for no real reason was to change both the tigers and the lions and "make" them into real serious teams with a promise not to increase ticket...

    Russia warns against Iran attack

    Well not discounting the nuke issue, the problem is not with just russia but also China. They have a stake in all of this, they trade with Iran and Iran may or may not have overtones of war with the US in their presentation to the world and may speak of destroying Israel but their enemy is the...

    Chevy with throttle body prob. Am I the only one?

    Well fuel supplements won't help, no fuel touches it. The buildup could be from the EGR/PVC system or dirt. There are issues with the air flow sensor, which may be part of the tb and there are cleaners for that, but it will have to be taken off or at least the intake hose removed.

    Question on yearly net income.

    You tell me where this is happening, I want to go there. I would guess a 1000 a week if you are lucky, 25 to 30% DH and maybe pennies for a FSC.

    reputable place to purchase a truck

    There are none. You can listen to everyone here but the problem is that what works for one, doesn't work for others. I had a problem with one mentioned in this thread, won't say who because I will be jumped on but it wasn't a nice or good experience. Here is the thing, you have to do due...

    CB/HAM 2 meter band Ham radio

    There really isn't one thing that can be depended on because the info is so scattered and many will point to the radio for that info but many of those 'home grown' traffic reports on the radido are as useful as the ones you get on the cb - Detroit area reports will only focus on a few of the...

    My Rant

    Cheri, I known a lot of poles who didn't learn a lot of English and they got along well enough for many years. I do expect a Canadian to speak to me in English, even if I'm in any French speaking part of the country simply due to their duality of language on the national level. Even in...

    Changing Times in Expediting.

    I am thinking exclusivity is not coming from the shippers as much as it is coming from the carrier which is my point. When people are advertising that you get the whole truck and then offering the whole truck, that it where people expect the whole truck.

    The Cain Mutiny

    You know the allegations are a non-issue because if you expect to have a perfect candidate all the time, it ain't going to happen. It really doesn't matter for this guy and this situation, both parties are bound by a non-disclosure and as soon as one opened their mouths, the other can't...

    Would you turn in an idiot driver?

    I would sort of agree with you but an a**hole is going to be an a**hole regardless what you think can trigger them. Being professional is a whole another thing. In this case, the cops should have been the first call, the carrier the second and without even saying a word to the driver. Lights...

    Changing Times in Expediting.

    Cheri, you know you can pick out some of these idiots and not hire (contract with) them to do the job. The real problem is that many fleet owners don't look at the cost of having idiots, they want to make those big bucks and be important in the fleet. I've had my share of idiots, employees...

    Canada Talking to a Canadian trucker

    I don't think it is happening as it was described. Isn't this the stuff they have on the real Ice Road Trucker's show? In the winter time its solid because of the permafrost. You know in the winter, the water freezes and the lakes and rivers are used as roads. Permafrost is what it is...

    Detroit Lions Only NFL Team To Lose Money

    The Ford "family" doesn't own the lions, Will Ford does. A bit of a difference. There is a real valid reason for this and it was explained to me a long long time ago, the losses are used to offset the gains in other investments and if you notice something when Ford stock is down and there is...

    E85 Anyone use it?

    We use it in our van almost all the time. We lose about 1.5 MPG with the E85. The savings isn't as much right now, there is a 35 cent difference between the E85 and regular gas. When gas was 3.90 a gallon, E85 was about 3.35 a gallon and the difference was worth the loss.

    Truck options

    New as in new truck? Then go to any dealer and order the wheelbase and equipment that would work. I think maybe 280" would be minimal. New as in new to you but used? Then yep search around for a class 8 that has a long wheelbase, there out there. The alternative is to put it into a good...
