My hourly rate is simple: it's the number of hours I have to spend at work and away from my family and friends to make a certain amount of money.
I'm glad it's working for you guys. I think we can agree that gross income doesn't mean much. It's your personal net income, after deducting all...
I'm just an o/o lurker slash company man, so take this with whatever grain of salt you wish: I just can't help thinking that if you took that...
Lol! I'm not against cameras. I just wouldn't want to replace something that's foolproof with something that's temperamental. On the other hand I...

The thing is that an electronic display can be configured to show you everything you need to know for going down the road. Any rarely used gauges...
For what it's worth, I like the Western Star, old Mack Pinnacle, and Prostar dashes. I haven't tried the new Volvo dash, butt the old one was...
