    Humor for a bit

    It is possible to break the blend and remove the ethanol from gas, just mix water with the gas and the ethanol will separate from the gas to mix with the water. It works because ethanol will mix with either gas or water but it will only mix with one at a time and it prefers water. Only problem...

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Food stuff into NYC usually means Hunts Point? If so I never been in the actual terminal market but have done other stuff in the area, that's a bit of a screwed up neighborhood to say the least. If you had one of those calfs on the way to the city it would have "fell off the back of the truck"...

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Do you unload more cattle than you loaded?:whistle: I'm NJ born and raised. I'm currently doing NJ gas stations (mostly northeast, think Bergen, Hudson and Essex counties. The Five Boros I mentioned in a previous post are Staten Island, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Manhattan, ie: NYC for...

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Chemical tankers over here don't have baffles and I've done a lot of chemical work, never had a problem with a manual. OK I get it, some people like the autos, I also agree that autos do have some advantages. I have experience with both and I prefer a manual, I can do things with a manual that...

    Bearcat 980 developed a problem

    Is that supposed to act as a warning to keep the good phone from getting out of line.:whistle:

    All we get are explanations of why automatics are better, many of which sound the same as the ones in this thread. Apparently they believe that what we see happening in the field isn't actually happening.

    ANY MEMBER IN THE HURRICANES PATH?

    This reminds me of a thread on a BBQ forum I'm a member of. someone had an old cheap but still working grill they wanted to get rid of, they had it out at the end of the driveway with a sign that said "free" for a couple weeks and nobody took it. Someone on the forum suggested that they change...

    Why Do YOU Use an Amplifier?

    If you're considering going this route keep in mind that the more power you push the more important a good antenna install is. Personally I like to have an amp available but I don't make installing one a priority, the ones that I have installed have seen very little actual usage. It is nice to...

    Scary Snake Radio "Setting Up" President Lincoln II V3

    If he goes away this forum will just find another dead horse to beat.:whistle: But we beat dead horses so well.;)

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Maybe my standards for creeping are different than others but turning off the hill hold isn't good enough when you're trying to maneuver through a small neighborhood gas station in the five boroughs with a 45 foot tank on the fifth wheel, with a manual these maneuvers aren't a problem. Been...

    We all know it's a tax, lower taxes are a small consolation when you don't have a job.

    30 years ago tariffs could have saved us, now we're closing the barn doors long after the cows have gone. The damage is done. No one is going to invest in manufacturing facilities on US soil when in all likelihood the next president will just give China their sweetheart deal back and apologize...

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Have you actually driven an automatic? the ones I've driven don't creep very well. In the Allisons I've driven you need to constantly ride the brake for any kind of speed control and the auto-stick types lunge when on the throttle and then go into neutral when you get off it, a lack of anything...

    Near Truck Stop - Should I Expect to Hear Something?

    Where I am now it's all new Petes with Paccar engines and 10 speed automatics, I would take a ten speed manual over these ****boxes any day of the week. If I had a trainee that was as rough on slow tight maneuvers with a manual as these things are I would tell the boss to cut his losses and get...

    It's getting that bad out there? I'm on the east coast and while nothing like it used to be there's usually something going on.

    Mobile East Ground and Down

    It's possible that there isn't anyone on the air right now, are you near a truckstop or major highway? Also I never tried a roll bar but I know that headache racks are notorious for antenna tuning issues, googling for headache rack installs may provide some ideas to try. PS: If we find out...
