Just another example of how many different ways there are to do this job. I have decked like this before (thanks to gregg, who explained it in a post of his). But the pallets were light weight. They originally wanted 16 shipped, but knew a 24 foot truck would only hold 12. When I got there, I...

I just stated above that I use my 24 alot. And then you come back with the above statement, "the chances of you regularly using a 24 foot box in most true expediting scenario's are going to be rare". That leads me to believe that you must believe that I am doing untrue expediting??? I...

Nothing other than truck insurance.

This is what I have been told and believe and know folks who were in fact given violations for in several states including Tennessee where I live. Now if we cannot come to the same conclusions by reading the book, why should DOT officers be any different? It is unreal of the ones who post here...

My first thought is if it was replaced a few months back and you can't find a loose wire or connection, then I'd see if they would warranty it. Chances are great that it is the starter. Were it mine, I'd put another starter on it and have that behind me. Then if it does it again, you could be...

Simply put, it is my truck, my money, my beliefs and I'll Lucas it if I want too. Now!

You have to have a medical card to drive a CMV under 26000 GVW. Now I am not sure about a van or 10000 and under. But I think you are talking about a straight truck 26000 and under.

This is the same as debating religion or politics. Most are already committed to their belief and few will change by what is said here. I say Lucas helps my engine and it would be hard to change my mind. This comes from using Lucas. Others use nothing, while others use different brands. Some use...

I have tried not using Lucas as you are planning on doing. My 3126 used oil without the Lucas treatment. Everybody here has a different opinion on this subject. For me, I do what works for me. For everyone that says nay, there is one that says yeah. So like most of the other topics discussed...

It's not like the writing wasn't on the wall. Reading here on the forums would give any person an excellent example of what this is and can be like. We roll like crazy awhile and then it seems we sit forever. Nature of this beast. Now, slow down time is coming. Got your nest egg built up?

You would think the manufacturer of the box would have put the tape on them (the box) if required by law. And if they had changed the law since it was built, the new law should not have been enforced on an older model. This is just nit pikin at it's finest. My ICC bumper is made of metal that is...

24 for me is the way to go. I guess because not too many of you have a 24 is the reason I get so many loads for a 24. Thanks!!! 12 skid loads are very common with me.

That is life at it's best. Nothing like being yourself and being able to laugh at yourself. That was some kind of funny.

I looked at this and liked what I saw. This will make life easier and it is rugged enough to last. I, too, ordered mine off Ebay.

Are you talking dry box? If so, I never have. Mine has what looks like some kind of oily treatment on it. I am sure they all have the same thing. Never really thought of actually washing it out. Maybe if I had ever got mud or dirt in it. Is there an advantage to washing it out?

Well, Peterbilt, unlike Mack's, doesn't have an ornament. And if the ornament has to relate to the name of the truck, it maybe a good thing it doesn't. Hehehehe!

Well in Tennessee, you can pull a gun on somebody and hope they will follow your orders. But unless they are about to harm "YOU or YOUR FAMILY", you better not shoot. I was thinking I saw on T.V. where a Texan shot a man while stealing tires from his truck and he was justified by Texas law to do...

We have to be so precise in our description around here. Now I know you know what I am talking about, but to be precise, there is really no handle there at all. It is merely a cut out area in which to insert your hand for the purpose of tilting your hood. Now....do you accept that...

What you posted makes sense. And may be the real reason. But why do the businesses do it now? I thought there might be a law saying "if you had a locked gate and found somebody doing harm to your property behind that gate, you could legally drop them". I think Texas has something similar to that.

Please! No speculation or opinions, as I have plenty of those. But I want to try and find the real truth or reason for what I am about to ask. You may coment after we find the answer to my question. And the question or curiosty is: While driving through various areas in Texas (mainly rural...
