What is the difference from buying a 159 3500 and a 1500 136? Where I live, the 3500 is cheaper because a ton of people decided they'd go start a business with no research and they're everywhere. But all local tradespeople want a 1500 136" Just saw a 2019 3500 159 sell under $10,000 with just...

Location Update Moved from bed to couch

I'm happy.to report 2 solid naps today, and I'm getting ready for bed. Its almost 8:30

I deleted 2 long rambling posts in answer You have my sympathies, we've all been there. The only thing left is what are YOU going to do, nothing else is important. Make some good choices where you are the one that benefits the most

Thank you! That's appreciated And to think I almost missed it, hope everyone is doing well OVM may even see it before Christmas

Mine is still ok after 9 summers on the pavement in Ohio. But like everything else it was probably cheapened by 2016. If it is time, maybe try another brand I know I've been using Bilstein for 20 years but the last set lasted as long as any other shock, so I switched to $40 Sachs/TRW. Can buy...

Well I dropped off for awhile. Gasoline E250, and it broke at 487,000 Not like my 2002 or 2003 diesel. The '02 went 1 million miles without me so much as cracking a valve cover. Second one, I stopped driving at a million KMS (600,000 mi) cause natural gas was $1.06 a gal, then the sprinter I...

If the Big Beautiful Bill passes, I know it's flying under the radar but be prepared to cross the border and meet a Canadian driver in Canada eventually This will be as big a hit as tariffs, perhaps bigger. 5% a year until 50% is reached in withholding tax, altering a tax treaty that's been in...

I'd like to give a shout out to my carrier for giving me steady work in these tumultuous times but I'm not even sure who I work for. They change their names too much, but the company that owns 80% of Canadian transport is the parent

I searched my memory banks and came up with nothing :) happens more often these days

Exactly I know the intention is to avoid everyone saying no (in which case somebody should reevaluate the rate) but life happens, we aren't hourly. I'd hate to sit for a week because I had a dentist appointment Right now in fact I'm heading out for $50. It wouldn't change someone's position to...

Just occured to me, we will probably see robot trucks before a useful phone app where you can bid loads Transport companies rather than being forced to give up control and money, will have more of both I do have my retirement area picked out. No municipal government, no bylaws, most...
