Truck Driver Health at Issue

Author by : Lance Winslow

Well after traveling some 500,000 miles in a rather large Recreational Vehicle, I must say that when I stop at Truck Stops, I am a little concerned for those truck drivers who come in, as they are out of shape, many are obese and they look like they are very near a diabetic collapse.

Something must be done to assist them. I can tell you this and that is that the truck stops need to chill out on all the junk food they sell and start selling things that are better for these drivers. Truck Driver Health is at Issue and we already have a shortage of truck drivers in this nation and if these guys get any worse than on their health they will be in some deep serious health declines.

The Most Capable 4X4 Ever Built: The Jeep Hurricane

Author by : Al Carl

The Jeep Hurricane is a concept vehicle unveiled by Daimler-Chrysler at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. It opened with and continues to receive rave reviews! So many in fact that it was rumored that Daimler-Chrysler was considering a limited production run of the vehicle. Those rumors have died down, but the Hurricane continues to draw the interest and attention of 4×4 afficianados, and hey, why not?

As the Daimler-Chrysler spokesman said: “Jeep Hurricane is simply the most maneuverable, most capable and most powerful 4×4 ever built. It pays homage to the extreme enthusiasts’ Jeep vehicles in form and off-road capability, but is a unique interpretation of Jeep design. Simply stated, it is the extreme example for the Jeep brand.”

UnderCover Tonneau Cover Review

Author by : Ken Bishop

Would you buy an Undercover tonneau cover after a review like this? The undercover tonneau cover is custom-made to fit your make, model and year of your vehicle. This particular truck bed cover is a low profile, weather tight tonneau cover. You would class it as a hard tonneau cover, but being constructed of ABS keeps it light weight and easy to handle. It has quick release hardware to enable you to put it on or take off quickly. The cover is constructed to prevent warping in direct sunlight. It can be painted but because of the texture there may be a slight difference in the color of your truck if your using a metallic paint. It seems a solid color paint is fine. It comes at a very descent price as far as hard tonneau covers go.

Ladder Racks

Author by : Damian Sofsian

It is imperative for some people to have ladder racks on their vehicle. These racks carry more than mere ladders; boards, long pipes, tools and other items are easily accommodated. Rather than having your tools and other materials sliding at the back of the truck, or secured shabbily with a bungee cord, you should take time to survey the various ladder rack products available on the market today.

There are several features to consider while looking for a ladder rack. There are removable racks and those that can be mounted permanently on the truck. The former is useful, as you can always use the vehicle for personal use.

Author by : Devin Parker

How will Trucks look in the future look? Lets see some real examples of innovations and prototypes. The most important aspect is the energy source. The energetic crisis and the pollution are the two axles for the engineers of the future.

Custom Motorcycle Helmets

Author by : Steve Valentino

Helmets which are fashioned and made according to our own specifications are known as custom motorcycle helmets. Although different types and kinds of motorcycle helmets are available on the market, sometimes we do need something different to suit our own wants. Hence, different companies exist which offer custom motorcycle helmets exactly the way we want.

Hundreds of companies offer motorcycle helmets, but few companies offer customization options. Some companies which do are Motorcycle Helmets, McCall Colors, Garcia Custom Airbrush, Be Unique, Helmet Guy, Iron Horse Helmets, Helmet Store, and many more.

Airbrushing and painting remain the two main ways in which companies customize our helmets. Normally, solid color helmets such as black or white are given to customize. Ranging from open face to full face motorcycle helmets, all types of motorcycle helmets can be customized.

Transportation Projects Do Not Alleviate Traffic – They Cause It!

Author by : Lance Winslow

Often politicians tell us that they are planning new transportation projects to help alleviate traffic and they tell us what they are completed everything will flow smoothly. But this is never the case because they always take longer than expected to be completed and they always caused massive traffic slowdowns and jams because lanes are blocked and cars have to slow down to get through a smaller compressed area or choke point.

This is why any time someone says they are planning a traffic or transportation projects don’t believe them. Besides by the time the transportation project gets done there will be even more traffic to deal with. Additionally if you are a small business person you know that when ever they try to do something new or work on a project near your store you lose business because people cannot get to you to buy your products or services.

Nissan SUV’s

Author by : Stuart Simpson

I just got back from the Memphis International Auto Show. They had a wide selection of all the best cars and trucks available. I got to spend time in the Nissan trucks without being prodded by sales people.

Of course, the Armada was my favorite. It seemed to have everything. Big 305hp engine, 5-speed automatic, aluminum wheels, running boards and even a rear sonar system was standard. Some of the neat frills and options I would have selected were the chrome grill, auto-leveling suspension and the power tailgate. Apart from the price, this was the flagship from Nissan.

The Pathfinder has been around for a while in name only because this Nissan has been completely redesigned. Its much more luxurious and modern on the interior, but still has ample power and features you’d expect from an SUV.
