Thanks guys.

It appears that I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get a Honda generator. It will be a 2000 or 3000. Will you guys provide some tips on how to secure the generator when it is running outside the vehicle so I won't wake up in the morning as a hapless former Honda generator owner? I've got a...

Morning all. I'm starting Tuesday and wonder about finding shore power on the road. I and am sure everyone else will need shore power occasionally. Do you guys know of places where a humble fellow can hook up to recharge a battery, etc. Thanks.

Hey Turtle. I'm just starting with a 2004. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your posts and the wealth and breadth of information you provide. I'm sure I speak for everyone. I'm hitting the road next Wednesday and I'm excited, but I'm sure the realities of expediting will temper that...

Yep. I went to a cat scale and got a ticket. Weight includes the upfit, a xantrex inverter, tv, microwave, refrigerator, marine battery, full tank of gas, and me. I actually had it weighed twice. I asked the folks I bought it from to take it to a scale and have it weighed before I went to look...

Thanks guys. I bought the van after excruciating and prolonged contemplation after having it checked out at both a dodge dealer and a mercedes shop. It's got some miles on it but after the meticulous inspection by the mercedes guy I felt I knew what I had and hopefully I can deal with it. It is...

Has anybody seen, owned, or know who owned this 2004 Freightliner van. Reason I ask, I'm flying out to see this van this morning and it is so uniqely upfitted, if any body has they would know it. It was purchased in Illinois and that is where it has ended up. If anybody knows, please leave a...

Looks like I stirred up that kettle of fish pretty good.

lol. I guess my statement ""I'm not comfortable on the road without being armed" scared everybody. You guys must think I'm a maniac. I just simply subscribe to the adage "Better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it. Don't wory guys. If I'm fortunate enough to meet some...

Sorry It was idtrans's post.

I'm not comfortable on the road without being armed. Lots of good responses to Thom75's post about pistols. How about a shotgun. Would that fall into the same category as a pistol. Not much chance of it being concealed; as a matter of fact, it would probably be better to keep it in plain view...

Thanks so much for the responses guys. Something I hadn't considered was the weight of the upfit. The private response addressing that was very detailed - I appreciate it as well as ebsprintin's note. As an aside, one of the clear benefits I see in this business is the obvious quality and caring...

Hello all. I'm just getting into the business and am working on buying a Sprinter. I have a hire commitment from a reputable company, and they recommend an extended sprinter. In researching the kind posts and responses from the past, I can't really determine which is the better length, although...

Thanks, guys.

Thanks. Is the fix to replace the converter?

Getting into business and looking for a sprinter, 158. A guy has a 2003 SPRINTER 2500 SHC 158" WB and here's what he says about the vehicle: THE VAN HAS A VERY NOTICABLE VIBRATION / NOISE COMING FROM DRIVE LINE AREA **IT IS MOST NOTICABLE WHEN DECELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, BUT YOU...

Re: Signing with multiple companies.... Oops. Sorry for the multiple. I didn't think about authority and insurance or the signage. Thanks for defuddling my mind about the issue. Now I don't have to worry about that, at least for now.

Signing with multiple companies.... Hey guys. I am getting ready to buy a used sprinter and am new to the business. From what I have read, it seems to me that the way to combat "sit" time is to sign on with several companies. That way you have multiple opportunities for loads. Is the thinking...

I am preparing to buy a van and am new to the business. It seems to me that the way to combat sit time would be to sign up with several companies. Any thoughts or experiences with that? Thanks guys.
