dc843 -the promaster 2500's are exactly a 12 ft cargo load floor. 3 -48in skids of freight and you usually have to put the drivers seat so far ahead that you hardly have room to steer the beast. Unless the first skid loaded is low enough the ride sucks bad till you get er unloaded again...

Thanks again, I,m reading info on the roller rocker bearing failing, up on you tube as well. Tickity tick once the little bearings go in a rocker.Not a huge repair to tackle but shouldn't be happening, I,m sure we all do proper oil change intervals and run the good synthetics. The van has pluses...

Lots of straight truck work here in Ontairable expedite if operators are qualified and willing to make a fair sized investment ( insurance,maintainence,truck purchase). I think the ELD,s and higher start up-operating costs are going to keep the demand high for quite a while.

Thanks specky, some helpful info there. Had to chuckle a bit as you pretty much summed up the whole deal there just like with my first company ,wait for loads, drive unpaid miles, take what they feed you. Back to a Walmart. Do it again and again, look at the odometer and try to suck it up. Some...

Thanks for the info ntimevan. Sounds like I will need to find this mechanic if I go with the PM 3500 ext. gasser. 3.6l pentastar . Still for sure a IF. Trying to do lots of research on it. Name of the fella if you can share it?

Moot, great advice there. I wouldn't shut down in gear for loading either.All bad for sure. If she slightly moves with Pbrake applied and very well could ,so be it on ground level loading. Fork truck driver will take it a bit easier. Hopefully.... If you have to jump in the cab and hold the...

Thanks Scottm, I had a referral to call Mark B. at Thompsons, I will get in touch tomorrow ,Monday. Can you share any info about the company? Long runs or short. Rates. I have the Pival package info but still unsure about their operation and looking for the best fit. Some others I have in mind...

Good day drivers- recruiters- Brokers-I have a new high top 3 skid cargo van in the Woodstock Ontario area and I need to get on the road again in the next couple of weeks. I,ve been doing a local dedicated run the last couple years so out of the world expedite for a bit. I have been in contact...
