Thanks for the informative response. After hearing all that, I might be best going with an outside generator and rooftop RV AC unit. I really don't want to idle this gas eater all summer at almost 1 gal. per hour. Does anyone know a reasonably priced RV AC dealer?? And what is a good install...

Can someone tell me if it's possible to convert this portable AC unit to use in a cargo van? http://www.compactappliance.com/xq/JSP.detailmain/Amcor_9_000_BTU_Portable_Air_Conditioner/itemID.13321/itemType.PRODUCT/iMainCat.23/iSubCat.38/iProductID.13321/qx/shopping/product/ALP9000E.htm

Man, its scary how desperate people seem to be to get into this industry. How much profit can you make in a van after putting out 1900 a month?? Another reminder of how valuable I think I am owning a van as an expeditor. 5 guys are waiting for my spot if I get my contract cut

To accurately rate your carrier, I think you need to judge them upon a yearly time frame. After being with RoboFedex for 10 years, I started with Panther in Sept. 06. The first 3 months were the most profitable I've ever had in my whole trucking career with a solo van. I actually grossed over 3K...

Cheri- I sure am no Bush fan either. Never think he'd do so little about our borders. I guess cheap labor still translates into political victories. But cmon- people need to be more consistent in pointing out the sins of "both" sides of the aisle sometimes. All this left-right, taking...

Tal- Don't u think Clinton/Gore selling missile technology to the Chinese for campaign cash was a security threat to you and the rest of this country? Curious how N. Korea can now hit us with nukes. If you're gonna rip Bush's security blunders, at least be consistent with the other guy's

Everyone's kinda right about their critiques of BOTH parties. They BOTH have screwed the middle class working American public, again and again. They just take turns ripping us off. Divided and conquered are the voting US citizens. Yet you will be called a "fence sitter" if you dont choose which...

Maybe an asterisk or some other subtext could explain any condition or deduction from the company's posted rates?? Also, maybe some checked columns on who provides comdata cards, who has QCs, Trip-pack, discounts for tires, etc... Kinda like a Truckers Friend for expeditor companies?

1) Why not put a small icon next to the user's name indicating the size truck they drive? Like a little C or D straight truck, van, tractor, fleet owner, etc.... 2) Also, a list of current "standard, non-discounted" company pay rates for each class,(A,B,C,D,E or whatever) in row-column on an EO...

Last month I built a sliding bulkhead in my van that's attached to the bed. The whole piece is on wheels and can slide back 8'. When I have one light skid on or if I am empty, I can move the bed/bulkhead back and have 8' of sleeper space. The bulkhead can be rolled back to the front end of the...

Pantherii : I see you're getting bored with this forum. Why don't you change your password and forget it? Guess there's nothing else to do in your truck today

Well put, Col.

Think their sign installer ate too many happy mushrooms putting them on? At least I can read it w/o getting up out of the bunk when they park next to me

They look like they wont stay "balanced" very long. I cant imagine running these things on rough roads much before those flexible spokes start changing their length and ovaling the whole tire! They should test them on Detroit area roads first maybe

Is that what that sound was?? I thought I had gas

Thx for info! Im gonna try UPS out, see how they run me TPUSA

Pack fans must really be getting annoyed about Favre still hanging around after that performance today. Time to rebuild, GB!!

Thanks for fast response! Does Dynamex run vans like Panther or FedEx CC? Or is it mostly airport and short stuff. I know nothing about them, and couldnt find a webpage with their truck specs or pay rate, etc..

Must be from Oklahoma

Thanks for replies. Isnt Dynamex a Canadian based co?
