    Anyone have any experience with the Ford V10?

    Thanks for the info! I have heard a lot of good things about the V10 for towing, but not much from expediters.

    Anyone have any experience with the Ford V10?

    I was interested in some real world experience with the Ford V10 engine for use with E350s and expediting. Highway MPG? Power? Any issues? Thanks!

    Who's taking on cargo vans for the southeast?

    Looking to see if it's any better out there and wondering who wants to take on a 2007 E350 cargo van, with either a solo or team, with 6 years in expediting. Ideally (me us) it would be a company looking to add in their SE fleet to cover a customer base that ships along the east coast. Let me...

    What I thought about EZ pass all along...

    I guess I should have spelled it out a bit more... but then again I run at much higher speeds. Of course obeying the law and posted speed limits will keep you from getting fined. EZ pass as well as other monitors are tools for far more than tracking your speed through a toll plaza. Your...

    Anyone have any experiance with R&J?

    You got their number for sure.. 5% off the top is about all the profit that's left to take. I just can't justify it.
