Still wish you all could get Mr.Pres to come up for a nice hunting trip,could solve it all.Aksawyer...........good luck all

AKsawyer,  since you didn't actually say what we all think you might have been thinking, I won't delete your post. I'll just let it stay there where the Secret Service can see it as they scan the internet for key words to protect our country and the President. On the other hand, if you would have actually come out and said what we all think you meant, I would have warned you heavily about it and quite possibly banned you for it.

And by the way, I am a conservative Republican by definition I guess.
Now, no more politics or they get deleted.

alaskan, here in nebraska all state troopers are dot certified I think.  At our local grain elevator the usually set up in force the day after the elevator hasn't been taking any grain for a few days.  We have a pretty good network amongst neighbors though.  Hope they never get me I'd have to just givem the truck :D (72 freightliner cabover, 318 detroit).  The trucks mechanically sound and good tires/brakes but the little detroit leaks a little oil! :D

  Thats not surprising sandhills being that your in the lower 48. Up here we are a little behind the times on such matters. After reading what some of these guys go through im left a little on the speechless side, and hope I never see such things, it's out of line as it is.

When the detroit quits leaking oil then you know its out of oil and too late to worry about it, I have a few of those too.   But at leat they can hear you coming, I'll shout a little louder, at least they can hear you coming!   I got pulled over once with one and while he was doing the creeper check and I was hitting the brakes for him he was under the truck below the muffler and I revved it up to about wide open and he came out from under the truck like a rifle bullet and once he regained his composure he demanded to know what the h-ll I'd done that for.   I told him my air pressure was getting low and I could tell he had trouble hearing me and didn't go under it again either, I laughed for half a day afterwards.

Randy88, yeah you probably better shout a little louder and no I ain't lettr run out of oil yet (sometimes I'm tempted though :D :D)

[Randy88]

For years the joke was the puddle under the truck looks smaller you'd better add some oil it must be getting low or about out if it had a lot of oil in the engine the puddle under it was always bigger, but they were a good engine and dependable and with enough either they always started in cold weather.   But you never worried where that truck was you could hear it for miles before you ever saw it and after it got wore out you could see the smoke trail coming even before you could hear it, sure brings back some memories, if the dot worked back then like they do today the dot would have put detroit out of business all by themselves from just issuing fines for oil leaks and the dot would be wealthy.   Around here the dot now has radar and are a self supporting orginization, the fines they give most of the money goes directly to them so the more fines they give the more money they make for spending themselves, is that what they do in your area?
