Member You - 9 Winter Driving Tips for Truckers
For most of us, the start of a new year is a time of reflection. A review of the year gone by and an opportunity to set goals for the year ahead. Intentions are good and motivation is high.The challenge lies in the predictable loss of steam that ensues as we move past the holiday season and back into our workaday lives.Make no mistake. Setting goals is easy. Following through is the hard
Tip # 8 Carry supplies.
In the unfortunate event that you end up stuck, spun out, wrecked, or just sitting in a backup, be sure you have necessities with you. Keep extra blankets, canned food (and a can opener if needed), and water. Be sure you keep your diesel tanks full so you won't run out.
Tip # 9 Treat your diesel.
Diesel gels when it gets really cold. If your diesel gels, your truck won'
Precision machining involves producing of metal parts, which are extremely intricate and are mainly made from thin metal sheets. Besides precision metal parts are often custom made for specific purposes. However there are distinct techniques such as chemical etching, metal stamping, and RF shielding for producing precision metal parts.The chemical etching process is mainly used for producing pre
If you're driving on ice, you won't know it until you need to stop. It doesn't matter if you're in a sedan, a 4-wheel drive or a big rig: brakes are the great equalizer.
Tip #1 Ice on your windshield means ice on the road.
The ice doesn't have to be packed up on the roadway to be dangerous- a thin sheet of ice can develop quickly into a thick problem.
Tip # 2 Keep an eye on the temperature.
Water freezes at 32 degrees. The roadways tend to be slightly warmer than the air temp, but once you're down that low in temperature, you need to be wary.
Tip # 3 Look for spray coming up from other vehicles.
If spray is coming off the tires, it's likely that the roads are wet (as opposed to ice covered), but keep in mind that a short stretch of road with ice on it can be just as dangerous as a ice-packed roadway.
Tip # 4 Talk to people.
Make sure your CB radio is on and talk to the drivers around you. If you are a new driver, try to find a seasoned driver who isn't talking a lot of big talk. We're all a little nervous out there if we really know what we're dealing with. You want to find a seasoned driver with a healthy respect for physics to help talk you through it.
Tip # 5 Don't follow too close.
Traffic tends to bunch up on bad roads-the natural inclination is to follow other drivers. Stay away from four-wheelers. Often they are under the illusion that the roads are safer than they actually are.
Tip # 6 Watch for warning signs.
If there are four-wheelers spun out in the median or shoulder, the roads are bad. If you start seeing big trucks spun out, it's time to get off the roadway.
Tip # 7 There's no load worth your life.
If you are on dangerous roadways, your best bet is to find a safe spot to wait it out. Let your logbook gain some hours. If you can't find a spot in a truck stop, park on a ramp or anywhere out of the way. Try not to park on an incline. You're liable to get yourself stuck.

Offshore companies or International Business Companies (also known as IBCs) are ‘distinct legal entities’ – what this means is that they can be treated to all intents and purposes like an individual.This means they can do business and be taxed for example, in fact they can do pretty much everything apart from have feelings or be loved!But what’s the point of an offshore company?Wel

Mike Duke spent 16 years working for retailers that competed with Wal-Mart. So when he joined Wal-Mart's executive team, Mike had a pretty good idea of what made the discount retailer so tough to beat."When you thought you had Wal-Mart pegged," Duke once said in a magazine interview, "they'd be evolving into something else."Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, instinctively knew that grea

Here are a few tips for traveling with golf gear since there is no better time than a vacation to hit the links. Fertilizers used on many golf courses can trigger explosive trace-detection equipment.

Diesel gels when it gets really cold. If your diesel gels, your truck won't run. If you are facing winter weather conditions, you need to put an anti-gel additive in your tanks (put it in BEFORE you fuel so it mixes). It's a good idea to stock up ahead of time and/or buy at a Wal-Mart rather than expecting the truck stop to have it in stock. They tend to run out right when you need it-every one else already bought theirs from them.
