We actually use gladhand locks to disable the airlines to the trailers and we also just installed strong arms to hold the trailer to the building. Inevitably, we still have at least one driver per week that tries to drive off with our building attached.

I am in charge of safety at my facility and I actually really like your idea but I would require that they plug in with an umbilical. Truck drivers are always trying to leave the docks with our forklifts still in the back. If it actually damaged their trucks when they did that they would be far more careful about just…

Actually, the D6E has been on the market for a number of years now. It isn’t fully electric but it does run more efficiently then its all diesel counterpart.

2 things:

Seriously asking - I understand that some of the jobs can’t be completed in the hours allotted but does that pendulum swing both ways? Are there jobs that are “on the books” for 4 hours but only take 2? If so, what is the proportion between the two?

Oh. I see where you got confused.

Um, no. I had a 1995 Dodge (I realize that is not the same as a Ford) with the 5.9L, 4wd, extended cab, short bed. The stupid thing never did better then 9 mpg.

We tried that at my place (farm/produce company) for our maintenance workers. Unfortunately, all the tools we purchased walked off the job so we were kind of forced to put the responsibility back on the workers.

So, it will be priced like every other car on the market then? Good to know.

Interesting. I actually quit a job because on my annual review I was marked down for not eating lunch with the “right” people. I hated it in high school. I hate it in corporate america.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Saturn SC2

My employer also does this and it is wildly unpopular. We are an agriculture/production facility with a fairly large marketing/finance/accounting office staff.

This was not a great article for me today. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a little over two years ago (43 now) and I struggle with it every day. I was not the typical Celiac in that I had little to no “gut” problems but I did have the horrible skin problems that Celiac can cause.

The engine swap is amazing but all the other stuff is old hat. The interiors of the E38 and the E39 and extremely interchangeable.

Almost the car of my youth. In High School my best friend was given a 1970 Firebird Formula 400. His dad had purchased it new in 1970 and had held onto it. It was originally brown with a vinyl top and a three-speed auto. My friends dad freshened up the engine, swapped out the auto for a 4 speed muncie, and painted the…

I wish I had a positive experience like that. I ripped my dealership, Ford contacted me with a followup survey to make sure they understood the problem. Ford then contacted me 6 weeks later to see if the dealership had reached out to me to correct the issue. They had not.

That’s too bad. We bought a Sonic last year and I actually like it a lot better then the Mazda3 Hatchback it replaced.

Sport seats out of a BMW E39. They will hold you firmly in place and yet I have pushed my car’s 500 mile/tank range and still felt fresh when I got out of the car.

Sorry. Still laughing about the mandatory meeting at 3:30 taking away from teaching the great young minds of America. The teachers at my kid’s school will run you over if you get between them and the parking lot as soon as the ending bell rings. Their union is so in favor of helping the young minds of America that…

I must be driving the wrong type of vehicle. In the last 2 years I have replaced the cooling system on a BMW e39 as well as the upper and lower control arms. In both cases I ended up going to Ebay but all the parts listed on Ebay were the brand name parts. There were no cheaper knock-offs available. I certainly wish…
