88 inches, 7' 4" But, keep in mind that the passenger door is nearly impossible to insulate inside there, because of the door latch, window mechanism and electronics. The footwell can be insulated, but getting airflow from something like an Espar is gonna be more trouble than it's worth, so...

Not sure what you mean there. 2 ...2- 6 foot 4in end to end? Two bunks, 6' 4" long, end to end? There's 166 inches between the rear of the seat and the inside of the rear door. Two bunks like that would fit, easily, as they'd be 152 inches. One on each side at 6' 4" would certainly fit, too...

You could do it, and I suppose you could build on a curved area for the feet and head, instead of a pure rectangle, which would give you a little extra room. But it wouldn't exactly be the most efficient use of space. And you'd absolutely be limited to exactly 8 feet of cargo space (which is...

You delivered a 700 mile load out to BFE, after delivery you sat 2 days waiting on another load which never came so you decide to go to another board, lets say Memphis and D/H 250 miles to get there. Another driver, let's call him me, delivers a 90 mile load in Memphis from Jackson, but I...

That's true, though, there aren't enough trucks in service to cover the loads. There would be, if there was less cherry pickin' going on, but if they have truck after truck turning down 174 mile runs, they have to have enough trucks in the area so that eventually one of 'em will take it. It's...

I have an HP All-In-One printer/scanner/copier. Is also a great photo printer, which comes in handy occasionally. Sits on top of the microwave, held fast with Industrial Strength Velcro. (Oh, sorry, Velcro®. I mean, Velcro® brand hook and loop fasteners. I certainly don't want to contribute to...

Some have a full bulkhead, I don't. My bunk ain't movin', tho, so it's a very effective bulkhead for the first 30 inches up. :) I didn't want a bulkhead because I wanted to be able to get in front of the freight to secure it. But, yeah, it's crossways, same as a bulkhead would be. It's 66...

In breaking news from October that somehow got past the good folks here at EO, and currently it's only at the Madera, CA, Clear Lake, IA and the Mt Vernon, IL locations, but Pilot and Denny's have teamed up. "Denny's Corp. and Pilot Travel Centers LLC said that Denny's will develop restaurants...

For trucks, a 2 hour wait for detention is standard, as there are a lot of cases where there aren't any docks open for them to pull into, and it can take a lot longer for them to get loaded or unloaded for many reasons. But for a cargo van, detention should start after one hour. At a shipper...

Send the entire contents of that message to <[email protected]> It'll be addressed in the next Q&A.

Well, the only viable options are "who cares" and "Change it now", as there is nothing that cannot be improved upon. The other two options are the same, "Love it as it is" and "Keep it the same"? Who came up with that??

I chose a Sprinter because I can stand up in it. I got tired of getting dressed while doubled over. My previous van was a short wheelbase E-350. Loaded with 2 skids and I had no place to sleep. Unloaded and I had to build a bed every day. With the Sprinter I can haul the same 2 skids and have a...

No, young people died in cold blood in their classroom because a brain damaged young person with a history of mental and other problems was allowed to wander around unsupervised. There is no skirting the issue. Removing guns treats the symptom, not the cause. And the cause goes far, far deeper...

Well, the Constitution doesn't grant us the right to vote for the president, but it does, specifically, grant us the right to vote for the members of the House of Representatives. The president and the senators are chosen by the states, in any manner in which they choose. The states determine...

I'm shocked that we haven't yet seen a reply ripe with sage advice and brilliant alternatives. Shocked, I tell you. :D

I'm with ya on that one, Phil. The different colored towels is a great idea, but what bothers me most about the reply is,"He has responded that we do not use "soiled" towels and washcloths used by the customers,"and yet, they do. That's precisely what we see time and time again at Pilot. We see...

There's undesirable, and then there's undesirable. Here's a 350 mile run to New Orleans. No Thanks. I'll give you a First Out! Uhm, gee, a First Out in New Orleans. Sweet. <barf> As if dangling the First Out carrot for New Orleans suddenly makes the deadhead afterwards to Houston, Memphis or...

I just want to know when it was that an automatic weapon became reclassified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Was I sick that day? Did I miss the memo? In any case, I'm not sure what guns laws we're talking about that need an overhaul. the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be...

Wow. Liberty Mind

Hawk, yeah, I know. I was just responding to the part where it said her "main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers," stated to imply as if she was somehow actually involved with the case. She wasn't. No leg work, not even ankle work. I did forget to point out...
