    Happy easter,Mr. highway star! I'm not calling anyone a liar on here, but I just don't get it.The last 7 loads that I have hauled in my 10-wheeler have been cargo van loads,paying over a dollar a mile.And the load board last week was full of van loads.I actually turned down 3 van loads while in...

    van advice needed

    I have thought about welding it to the floor, but I wasnt sure if welding it would mess up the ecm's on the van or not.But that would be alot better and eaier to do. I am planning on putting 2 rows on the floor, and one on each sidewall. I would hope that would be enough.I would think straps...

    why are owners so crooked

    I have actually considered in the past driving for expeditor services as a solo, when they used to hire solos.But now they only hire teams, so that put an end to that.I have heard nothing but good comments about them,and the fact that they keep their trucks updated is a plus. My freind used to...

    van advice needed

    Please accept my apology for not knowing how to start a new thread here, but when installing e-track on a ford e-350, do i need to drop the fuel tank to be able to get underneath to bolt the e-track to the floor?

    T300 Bug Deflector

    oh, my mistake, misunderstanding.yes, the stainless steel bugshield actually does work very well at keeping the bugs off of my windshild on my sterling.but watch for the sunglare on the backside facing the windshield.i put some truck-color-matched decal tape on the mounting brackets to stop the...

    T300 Bug Deflector

    the stainless bugshield shouldnt need to be clear-coated, i bought mine 4 years ago, and it still looks like new.the clearcoat will probably chip off little by little, creating a ugly looking bugshield, similar to when ford clearcoated their aluminum wheels, and in time, began to peel and chip...

    Odd ST configuration

    i have a sterling tractor converted/stretched to a 10-wheeler, and would not do it again. At the time, I thought it was a good idea, and the owner of the company I was leased to advised against it.I have hauled maybe 5 loads where it was called for over a 5-year period.The extra costs such as...

    thinking about getting into expediting

    I understand where you are coming from, Mr.Johnson. I had the pleasure of having a 60-driver barbecue at the t/a in baytown this past weekend, and load pay was a big topic. I could not believe what these guys were hauling freight for, and they owned their trailers as well. I have heard as low as...

    thinking about getting into expediting

    I think the pup would be a great idea.Less expenses as far as maint,plates,etc.I have seen a few air-ride pups with liftgates for sale, I think it was ryder who had them.My freind was going to do that before his heart attack kept him off the road.Just think of the size of sleeper you can have!!

    sprinter to ford/chevy

    And I was just wondering, since the pin in the transmission that holds the vehicle in park is not that big, Does any one ever have one of these break? I was thinking in the sense of a freight being pushed in and pulled out of a van, what stress it could put on that pin. just a thought.I guess...

    Laundry

    I usually gps a laundromat and then call them and ask them if they have room for a 40 ft long motorhome.The responses are alot more negative if I tell them I am in a truck. And yes, truckstop laundromats sometimes are terrible. Every 2 weeks I take everything possible out of the truck to be...

    How did you quit?

    I know back in the day when I used to run coast to coast non-stop, the more tired I would become, the more I would smoke.Gum and jelly beans as well as pretzel rods work to keep my mind off of having a cigarette.

    How did you quit?

    [COLOR="Red"]If we ever meet up,please remind me of this.I will respect you and not smoke.I am one of the pickiest smokers out there.Never in the house.What I dont understand is why do non-smokers have to walk through the smoking section to get to the non-smoking section?
