I ran a e350 box drw and ran log for over 10 years and was always nervous going through scales and I was legal. So I would be too nervous passing each scale/dot with DRW so not worth it. Especially with weight and added cost of DRW. I was more scared they would be on there need to make money...

Do any of you run these trucks and if so have you had any problems at the scales/DOT? Looking at options- 1)Unicell DRW Chevy under 10,000GVRW. Also does anyone know empty weight of these trucks? Thanks, Steve

Good thread. Learning alot from these posts .Thanks:)

When I stopped I did it mostly because I missed my young children. Now I feel like you about the cubicle. Didn't really think about it when I left, but even though it may be tiring with problems and not alot of money I really miss it. Just the freedom of being out on the road is what I miss...

Did anyone hear if driving all these long hours people in this industry are more prone to DVT? Or is it more of a genetic things as LisaLouHou said. I am the same as I don't go see a doctor unless I am really in bad shape. I guess the older we get the more risk we put ourselves in. Your post...

Thank for the future info! I will be purchasing a Truck(under 10,000) this Fall and really like Nissan. Did the dealer say anything about longer versions?

I drove for 15 years(trade shows) and then decided to sell my Company in 2004. I thought I would love being in an office and home very day. I run a PC shop in Europe last six years and can say I hate it! It does not help I am on a small island 15 KM long. I went from driving cross...

Any of you buy your Cargo Max, Cube Van or Sprinters at auction? If so how did it work out? Looking at few auctions in Ohio and there are a few Vans , but not too often Sprinters or Cubes.

Thanks for advice!!!

I don't think we are all so naive to think even the Transit/other vehicles are all American. Parts come from all over , but I would prefer to keep as much money going to US based factories. It may not always be my what I select to do, but if technologies is reasonably close I will chose...

Thanks everyone for the good info. This is basically what I need to know. Also was not sure if I could schedule a meeting with companies to talk to a recruiter, but thanks ateam for getting me a future question answered. Saves me some phone calls. Was thinking of talking to Bolt, PTL and Load...

I'm overseas right now, but will be back for 2 weeks to go to the Seminar in Monroe. I really wanted to come to the July one, but don't think I can make it. Just curious if a lot of people go to the smaller seminars? Also current Expeditors have these seminars been very helpful for any of...

Yes!!!! This van in diesel is what I want. Really want to go American and this European style van should be perfect with Ford support on the road. Hopefully cargo capacity will be solid.

Thanks for all the answers on Diesel tech. Its a shame we can use our own existing technology on diesels to be more efficient as a bridge to electrical, natural gas engines etc. I know when I ran my business my fuel costs were a big part of expenses. That was when fuel was much less! If I...

Just curious about your opinions. 1) Is it more Political (big oil) or maybe technical reason? Example is new Fiat 2.3 liter multijet diesel. Listed as 38mpg city/highway 5 speed manual for Ducato Van. This is a truck I would really want for long distance travel-expediting. I would...

Thanks to everyone for all the info. Weather option on CB I did not know about so this is something that would be great to have.

Hi! Just curious what Companies you ran for because I see you are often on the West coast. I probably will be a new expeditor next few months and really like the cross country runs. Sorry if I am being too nosy.

Just curious if most of you under 10,000GVW have CB installed?
