When I bought my 2016 Transit 4 years ago, I had been driving a Chevy Express van. I missed out on so much freight! So I bought the tallest, longest Transit I could. I do not regret it.

I have a bed that flips up and attaches to the wall like a Murphy bed. I have my clothes and what not in plastic totes. I removed my front seat so I have storage there, also. When I get a longer load I can stack my totes up behind my front seat area. That makes it twelve and a half feet. I...

I drove small Chevy vans for the first 7 years that I was out here. I bought my Ford Transit 250 in 2016 brand new. I went for the biggest I could get with the tall roof and extended length. I have never been disappointed. The cons that I have encountered are that almost all repairs have had...

I did have a problem in Georgia once. They couldn't get the spare tire off, so they just cut the cable. They told me it was stripped. That's why they had to cut it. When my nephew was getting ready to replace that part, I saw what had happened. They just couldn't figure out how to release the...

This is not the first time I have had a problem here at home. A little over a year ago, the dealership that I was using couldn't seem to get a tune up correct. This dealership got it right the first time. I've never had any problem getting good, fast, correct service out on the road. I guess I...

I am still waiting for them to figure this out. Now it dies sometimes when I am slowing down to a crawl, but not always. That is when I get the check engine code P00015. I was suspicious of the tune-up from the beginning since that is when it all started. They replaced the spark plugs and the...

I do have a code reader and I google the code when I get one. As far as all the parts and labor after the initial bill which included the tune-up and oil change, they haven't charged me anything. However, the mechanic seems to be taking his time and meanwhile I am sitting at home. The first...

The first time I took it out there were 6 codes by the time I got 325 miles back to my dealer. I don't remember all of them, but that is when after a couple of solenoids being replaced, they just decided to do the whole job again. The last time I took it out, the code was P00015, which I think...

I have a 2016 Ford Transit 250 High roof Extended length. I bought it new three and a half years ago and I have 377,000 miles on it. I have had what I consider minimal (not MINOR) repairs until now.I discovered early on that I would have to use a Ford service department for repairs. My shop...

I've been out here for 10 years and this has been the longest slow streak that I can remember. Sent from my SM-G960U using EO Forums mobile app

It's not that slow. There are just too many new people out here running for next to nothing. I get calls but my dispatchers can't get the loads because all the new people are running for next to nothing. I'm waiting for them to run the hell out of their trucks and then not have the money to...

Why would you want to put more drivers out there when there isn't enough work for those of us that are already out here????

That's right. A 20 minute nap, in my bunk if possible, and a can of Monster and I am good for another 4-5 hours. I sleep whenever I get a chance. I usually don't have any trouble getting to sleep after a delivery. I listen to audiobooks while I drive. A good murder mystery makes the miles...
