    EZPass

    If you never have to ugh, um, how do you say it, "adjust" your log book, you don't have to worry about it. Me personally, seem to have to ugh, um, "adjust' mine just about everytime I go to Chicago because of traffic. This is how it ties into your log book if you were to be checked. Receipts...

    Who owns Target stores? Pass this on

    Which verifies what I have believed all along. Half of what you read online is hearsay. I don't know if I believe the Snoops thing either. If we boycotted everything we were told too, we would have no place to spend our money. All it takes is for one person to get ****ed and here go the rumors.

    who taught you to drive?? what did you learn?

    I am a Tennessee trained driver and I go i-n-t-o the intersection. I do it just like described by the NYDOT example given above. One car at a time is all I like to see out there, unless you can see a break in trafficc that would allow more cars to turn. I try to read each intersection as I...

    EZPass

    Right or wrong, I am no lawyer, but I heard an I-Pass rep tell a customer that Illinois State Police and DOT can and do check I-Pass to verify logs if needed. I was under the impression that it was just a matter of pulling your account up on a computer from their car. This is one reason I don't...

    Amazing.

    And every now and then we think we have it rough. Look around. What if we had to be like that everyday? Course, that man probably thinks we are all handicapped! Ha!

    Parking on the ramps

    Better planning ya say? I spent my last hour and drove 36 miles trying to find a spot in Texas last week. I finally wound up sandwiched between 2 semi's that barely left me room to open my doors and I certainly was sticking out further than they were. I had a light post behind me that prevented...

    Turnpike decides to roll out E-ZPass, new rates on Oct. 1

    Overheard a conversation at the Des Plaines oasis while waiting in line at the I pass service desk. Service rep stated to a trucker that Illinois State Police, "can", and do check the I Pass system when they pull you over to verify log books if they see fit. Just another big brother for them to...

    I am 61 and wish I hadn't watched that. At least it wasn't in person. You need to delete that from a post of pictures of a beautiful moon. Mercy!

    How are you feeling?

    A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy hot shot lawyer was questioning Clyde. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer. Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow...

    It is a odd thing that you feel when you have your first grandchild. I had always heard about it and now I know how it feels. While waiting for the birth, I experienced a feeling of anticipation. Didn't know how this was going to feel to me. Had no idea what it would be like to have a baby in...

    2000 fl-70, what do these switches do?

    Sorry it took so long to download. It is 2.5mb and I have a high speed connection. 14 seconds to download. I don't use computer in my truck so I don't know what is fast or slow in that respect. BTW> The two switches with the green tops are your cruise as has been stated. Now whether they...

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    The rooftop came with a rubber gasket about an inch thick, premounted to the bottom side of the unit. The gasket seals to keep water out and I am sure it helps the vibration also. So far, I haven't noticed any vibration with the rooftop. Other than the noise of the air blowing out, I am very...

    Straightruck questions

    You are going to almost have to be over 26000 to do what you want, I think. And I doubt that even a single axle 33000 would suffice. You will need tandem axle or lift axle at the least. Then you can haul just about whatever you need to. As for empty weight, a person who knows his trucks, can...

    Great pictures! Haven't seen any of that yet. I don't know why, but a picture with some kind of water scene, always catches my eye. Love my water, I do!

    I just saw at least 2 flat beds with forklift carrying capabilities on truckpaper.com. They both were tandem axle and I can't remember what brand they were. I was searching class 8 van type trucks and they were listed there. Just thought I tell you.
