I am working on this list of acronyms. The previous GS list is in a LIMO - Here is the current
Acronym post. This list will be divided into two sections at the end of April.
One list of acronyms will remain in General Truck Talk,
and the other list will be over in the Greasy Spoon.
ALL ACRONYMS
MUST REMAIN FAMILY FRIENDLY
I know many of the acronyms used here, but some of the people have to post questions to clarify acronyms.
I'll try to edit
this post with all applicable responses. - - Thank you for the input and remember:
Just remember this about life...
(It is)easier to ask what you think to be a stupid question, than to explain a stupid result for not asking. On this website it's a matter of each one, teach one. The help you'll get from the folks around here can't be bought anywhere else.
