    Overheated brake with aluminum rims is a helluva mix for starting fires. Granted the load would have to be combustible as well.

    It could be worse. His puns could be punishment.

    I haven’t pulled a skateboard in 15 years..
    So if I for some reason wanted to do that again, they’d want me to retrain, I guess they figure you forget how to tie a load down, or forget how to climb all over a load putting cardboard edge protectors everywhere..
    I’ll stick with my 3, tanker, van, hopper

    You will love that vehicle. A women I did some work for on her house up on Michigan had that same van.

    She drove 1400 miles a week for work on some of the roughest Michigan roads.

    She had over 300 thousand on it and it still drove well with all original drive Train.

    My sister had a Kia van that unbelievably ran well right up to the day she sold it with 270k miles on the clock.

    I guess I am stubborn, but if you take a load I had, gave it away, then want me to take it back....?

    He had it out with the broker yesterday. I can only rationalize. That’s why we got it back.
    This place is busy. We’re local. Can easily take loads. He threatened to not take any loads from that broker anymore.
    Just saw it again. This place. Knight has a dry van loaded with bulk.

    Round 1 of 6 for chemo...."Taxotere" the actual drug and generic is Docetaxel ... in the books. Now I don't know who to listen to. No reaction whatsoever to this application. However, the info pages say it could show up after round 2 or 3. The papers list all the potential side effects, list the things to pay attention to, rash, pains, vomiting, issues with "le poops". Can't take aspirin or motrin, only Tylenol for any slight headache or pain....as far as eating, pretty much whatever stays down, except no grapefruit, evidently it can have bad effects on the drugs and metabolism....the journey begins!

    Oh yeah....no fatigue yet....think I'll go mow the yard.

    Some drugs these days are saturation drugs. The body wont show symptoms until after days. I am sure you know this, yet not so much the others whom are reading the posts.

    Tho I wish I could get saturated with the gal below.
