Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Agreed. I probably went a little overboard with the last reply. Train horns are cool when they're on trains, or being used in appropriate situations.

 

I wonder if there's law that dictates the decibel level of a horn.

 

They started something in E.C. about not using horns as often as people do.
Noise violations depend on whether it's bothering someone.
Decibel level and time of day don't matter.

 

If that were the case, they wouldn't be listed as 1.4 Explosive. DOT lists as what the primary hazard is.

 

Well, now I know my next mod for the land cruiser...

 

I'm thinking my truck wants to identify as a train.

Does that count?

Aren't we trying to be inclusive these days?

 

It kinda is!

 

This group is very open minded. Your truck can identify with whatever it wants. I just don't want to see your truck humping mine. I can't afford a little Taco running around.

 

Any of my logistics bretheren have a freight forwarding company they recommend? Shipping an LTL to Alaska on the company's dime. They've never ordered enough for anything to go bigger than UPS Ground and even then they used to ship to WA and use a forwarder from that point. Waiting on a quote from Span Alaska and Lynden at the moment.



I offered to bend the rules of TWExpress and drive it up there myself but they probably can't afford the OT and expenses I'll incur on the way there

 

Lynden was who Dayton Freight would hand off to going to Alaska but I'd imagine some of the national carriers have locations in AK as well depending on exactly where you are headed. ABF/OD/Fedex Freight.

 

Maybe this could help? https://www.odfl.com/us/en/services/global-freight/ship-to-alaska.html

On a side note:

Happy Chinese New Year!

 

Ooh I forgot about that, Happy Chinese New Year to you & May as well!

 

Right. Umm. That's what I meant to say.

 

May says hi and thanks!

 

Happy Chinese New Year.

 

That looks wonderful! Happy new year. What year is it? I was born a dragon but never keep track of the year (except when we eat somewhere where they have a calendar...)
