    My Espar is 16 years old and in the 4th van. Every two years I get it tuned up.Two year ago I had to do $400.00 in repairs. Other than that it has been very reliable.

    BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2

    Thank you. My tire company puts in nitrogen and it does keep a steadier pressure. My concern is with deep snow. Last winter I got stuck three times for at least two days. Plus I live in the snow belt near Cleveland. So many times when I arrive home I have to leave my van out on the road with the...

    Are you slow?

    I think too many people have come into our industry. It is a matter of supply and demand. The demand for loads is high due to the amount of expediters out there compared to the supply of loads. I think we should explain this to newbies and try to dissuade people from entering the industry until...

    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    Just like fuel prices. Supply is up due to fracking and lack of agreement among oil producing nations to keep production es b doiwn. Since supply is up demand for corporate profit is up. If supply of expediting vehicles is up causing rates to go down shouldn't we be discouraging newbies from...

    Heating / Cooling Thermo King for AC

    After doing more research I realized the 92,00 would not suffice. I ordered a 13,500 BTU. Do you think the would be good enough for the Sprinter? Thanks.

    Heating / Cooling Thermo King for AC

    Thank you. I am going with a rv roof ac and a Powertech diesel generator. It is expensive but I think it will be worth it in the long run. Is a 9,200 BTU Coleman ac powerful enough for a Sprinter?

    Thank you for your responses. What would be a good way to have AC while sitting waiting for a load? I don't want to use a portable generator outside the van.

    Heating / Cooling Thermo King for AC

    Hi. I am looking to install a Thermo King B100 on a Sprinter van for air conditioning. It is all electric so there is nothing under the hood. It is all self contained. Thermo King recommended this unit even though it seems to be a reefer. Is it a good idea to do so?

    Really poor manners # 32403 ?

    Yes, but he might not have been prepared. We don't know the circumstances and to be so harsh to someone not knowing why he did what he did is wrong.

    Really poor manners # 32403 ?

    Embarrassing someone to thousands of people in the same industry as this driver is certainly a harsh punishment. I must ask if when you confronted this driver did you ask him if there were an emergency that lead him to urinate in the parking lot. If so you didn't mention this your post. If not...
