Diesel is like $3.80 here... How is this for an extra kick in the nuts... I get 6.1 miles to the gallon in the tool truck.
you might be better off towing yer tool truck around town with the Red truck..... you might get better mileage that way......

Been thinking of getting a tool trailer... I think it would just be too much of a pain in the *** to take in some shops... kinda tight even for a 20 foot goose.

Yeah, damn future traders have screwed it all up...hope they all go broke and let the market get back to doing what it is supposed to do...


Oh well, there is one shining light at the end of the tunnel and that is that Natural Gas prices are finally coming back up...for me and the industry that I work in this is the greatest news...

Unfortunately, when that happens, Mr. President will probably declare a National Emergency and Order the trucks to run; or send the National Guard to do it.

Do you realize what would happen if the transportation industry shuts down? Any good president would give an emergency order to make it happen. This country would be in utter chaos. Thats the first thing we do in war strategy is to stop all transportation which drives a country to implode on itself.

I would actually love to see them shut down, I really don't think that that pansy *** Bush would do anything because it would dip into his pockets. I may be wrong though. But either way this is looking really right now.
