    Heaven to Hell

    OK Larry T-Hawk you can stop laughing at me now (He thought it was comical my story of decent) See I did post it. Has anyone ever traveled uphill or downhill for 19 miles before? Was not trying to set a record just hit the perfect storm by not reading a map well enough in advance. It took...

    Heaven to Hell

    Delivered in Boise, ID yesterday. On my way out of Little America I have only one more state to add to my list of 48 and all of Southern Canada, Utah. This is one state I shall never forget. US 30 just scoots by so I figured I will take US 89 that cuts the upper NE corner. Well it was...

    Lease Purchase Contract Woes

    Brian you are incorrect, as long as the payments are made that is ALL the bank cares about. It is not a home (FHA, VA, or otherwise) its a truck. It may be illegal in some states but not wrong enough to call a loan if payments are made. Now anyone with any common sense would not step into...

    Amount of truck payment

    Honestly one can probably esitmate doing somewhere around 10K a month in revenue, thus fuel being 25% of that, add in insurance maybee $500 high end, plus all of the other expenses, add on top of that a break down fund and you can see where this is at best a 50% profitable business if your a...

    Have you ever wondered how they make that?

    I saw enough $ waisted on high dollar (millions) in racing equipment to last me a lifetime. What impresses me is the guy who imports and ships out stuff, not his inventory but collects a % of everything that comes trough his door. Kinda like these Expediting Companies, in inventory, no trucks...

    Be ware of the Petro in Atlanta, Ga

    The QT off of 20 near an Industrial area seemed to nice when I was there. No restaurant but nice accomidations and a Wendys. QT does not seem to put up with crap, clean, neat, professional well trained employees who get along with customers and each other. My choice when in Atlanta.

Just my observation, it can be researched as the posts have had NO Response from members. I find that a little discouraging, I mean what are...

    I know you all have XM, I just got mine and what a year to have gotten it. My team DETROIT TIGERS is on fire the best team in baseball, lowest ERA, and the strongest infield defense in years. This is another reason why the ERA is so low but the pitching is outstanding. Looking forward to...
