I came across this little gem while searching for some Ford T-350 info. 2015 Chevrolet Express 3500 vs. 2014 Ford Transit Connect: Compare reviews, safety ratings, fuel economy, etc.

Is it worth it, as a single cargo van O/O to be leased to a large carrier? I've been kicking this around in my head for a long time as I see more and more of my loads coming through 3PLs and load boards. I would estimate that 70% to 80% of the loads I haul are from 3PLs and load boards...

While doing a bit of Sprinter research on Wikipedia I came across this little nugget of information near the bottom of the Sprinter entry under the heading, "Uses": In North America, most Sprinters are sold as cargo vans to expediters in the United States. Such expediters are similar to...

Hello. Anybody down here? I noticed there hasn't been a post here since mid July. I thought I would come down here and clean the place up. I dusted, emptied and refilled the litter box. We should be all set for October.

For what its worth. This summer Wisconsin changed the signage prior to the entrances of weigh stations. The old signs read 4 Tons. The new signs have been upped to 5 tons. Not that I ever stopped, except when placarded. .

So long my old friend. Today you are being replaced by a newer, smaller, more advanced model. You've been with my current van since May, 2004. Costing me just over $18,000 for your companionship. That $18,000 could have bought me 5,000 gallons of gasoline. Oh the places I could have gone...

Has anyone replaced a fuel pump on a 2004 or newer GM van? I have an 04 Chevy, 6.0 with the fuel filter integrated into the fuel pump. This past week I noticed a high pitched whining noise coming from what I suspect is the fuel pump, or more correctly the fuel filter causing the pump to work...
