RE: Former or present O/O leased to All Types Exp I agree, run screaming from them. Any other company will treat you much better. I run for PantherII every load has had a fuel surcharge, all but one it was over .06, I have even had some in the .25 a mile range. I have only had one that was .01...

They are over priced. But will do the job. I think most are PIII 850's.. If your laid over in Minneapolis check Que Computers, they have room in their lot for a D unit. They are selling 1000Mhz or better for 450 to 500 dollars. Or find one on e-bay that has a buy it now or is ending during the...

I think 10,000 is the starting point for needing logs. anything 9999 or less does not need logs.

They ones I saw where in Inver Grove heights, a suburb of Saint Paul Minnesota. Had a red tag in the window "List 28,000 asking 19,500"

you can't have a large sleeper in a regular cargo van? Huh?? I have a 78 inch sleeper and can haul 2 skids. I stole the idea on how to do it from the photos of another board members van, I think it was terryandrene. They ran team so they used the extra space for a large bunk. I have a 30 inch...

You might be a redneck if you change the oil in your van in the walmart parking lot.. Hey, it would not fit in their quick lube.. To tall.. Just pulled her up on a curb, got under her with a bucket drained her out and gave the bucket full to the guy that said "won't fit" gave him the old filter...

I have yet to turn down a load as well. Well, except for the one where I was deadheading home and was listed as out of service. I had a appointment I could not break. Dispatch said I was the only truck with-in 200 miles (I was in Iowa) so they thought they would ask. I refered them to the...

28K is high for new. I have seen new ones on the lots for 18-21, 3500 extendeds with some options (cruise, a/c power locks) Your right, they are not a really high demand item. However, if there is one on the lot, no one wants it (back to demand again) so they are always willing to deal. Chevy...

I've heard of them before, they are a national chain I think. However, your right, most stores make the matresses in house. Never thought of asking them to make me one. Thanks for the tip.

I run a cargo van with panther and can't say I have EVER had a week under 1000 miles. Heck I only worked 2 days one week and still got 1000 in. Last week I headed home on Thursday after doing a short 200 mile run and had 1500 miles in. I however have not been in NC lately. I was down there a few...

have it both ways. Build your bunk so it can be placed sideways for sleeping under load, or the long way for sleeping when empty :) Nothing worse than having a side mounted bunk and getting a load on friday that delivers on monday.. My Ford is 6 feet wide and I sleep pretty comfortable in it...

RE: expexted fuel mileage on this powerstroke van I'm sitting in one now. It's a 96 but it's a 1 ton extended with a 2 foot hightop, it stands 9.5 feet tall and weighes in at 6600 empty. Before I got the superchip programer it got 18-19 MPG average, now I average 21-23. I paid 3000 for mine...

Looks like they all need seawater except the unit made for golf carts. I think they use the water to carry the heat away from the condensor (the part that would be out side on a window unit) because water cools better than air, plus sea water should be lower temp than the air. Guess we are...

Before ya do it.. Think rental cars.. Cuz that is how most are going to treat your trucks, like rentals. They won't take care of it, but will complain till there is no tomorrow when it breaks down. Sure there are drivers out there that will take care of your equiptment, but if you can't tell the...

It's hard to beat a toughbook, not only are they a laptop computer, I think they dubble as a jack stand :D Brand wise I guess it really does not matter. The avertek's at sam's and wallyworld come rather well spec'd for 800 dollars, 2400 Mhz, DVD burner, wide screen.. You get the idea. However...

where is this new station? Hometime sounds good to me right about now.

The problem with this unit is it is just a 110 unit ran on a inverter. A true 12 volt system would be more efficent. a 10 amp draw through a inverter is roughly 100 amp draw at 12 volts. I'm digging right now because I looked in to a few a/c units that where true 12 volt units. One was made for...

6 gallons is enough for a g.i. shower. wet down, turn water off, soap up, turn on, rinse. however www.norinse.com is much cheaper :D

Do the dual rears put you over 10,000 GVW?

ya but it makes people feel safe. our elected idiots can't make us safe so they pass silly little laws to make us feel like we are safe. Can't say I have ever seen a placarded truck or car bomb.
