The IEA is a political org. If the president says he will release 30 mil. barrels, you think those politicians might go along? Also, it will be interesting to see exactly where and if those other 30 mil. will come from (Britian only 3 mil.). The question that needs to be answered is: why now...

LDB, I have those on all my vans. On my van these tires have 155,000 and I expect to easily go well over 200,000. The ride is excellent, wear is even, and the handling in all weather (especially snow) can not be beat. Jack

WELCOME, and I wish you the best and great success! Some might ask why I would want another C.C. truck to have great success - he could be taking loads from ME! I truely believe that if you follow the advice of those above as to appearence and attitude you will potentially cause customers to use...

with 5 vans Ihave a little experience with the discount. All 5 have had Michelins put on (3 D units also). The tires were purchased from both a small local dealer and a national network - no problems, excellent price, and great tires. In the beginning I had to pay attention to the directions...

Up, down, all over the place for my S/ts and it seems to be picking up now. But, here I'm thinking is a great opportunity to ask someone who's been there: Is the grass really greener? That's assuminjg you went to another company rather than dropping out altogether. Jack

Putting and replacing signage on the trucks now is at no expense to the O/O so we can only hope that required new signs will continue to be for $0. Some confusion may be caused between C.C. and all those Freight straight trucks without sleepers, and vans I see running around - I won't know who...

I tend to cross frequently, and as Phil mentioned I make sure all my t's are crossed and i's are dotted before I fax the paperwork in. I will not give load info but resently arrived at border after 7 hours of driving and was given an entry # and told to proceed. Nope, entry # not on file. Had to...

I repeat again - because it is not being denied, this mosque should not be built at this site by this Iman and his group because it's sole purpose is to put up a monument to those muslims who successfully attacked America. It will become a source of pride for jihardist and a constant reminder to...

This mosque is being built as a monument to the terrorist who succeeded in their jihad on 9-11. Even the name given to the project represents success to the conquers and has been used thouroghout history to proclaim victory. The mosque should be and has the right to be built - but the choice of...

Phil: I have had the experience of driving both ST's and BR's. If I had the option of living in either your truck or my BR - I would jump into YOURS! The only advantage I see in the BR is the comfort of driving and not needing to team. It is a Mercedes and rides and drives like one. Other...

Phil: Some truth about the BR program - Stoops has 1 of the original 20 08 vans still available. You might rightly ask why - can't sell them! There are at least 3 2010 also available with added options - and a much higher price. Why would anyone buy one of these expensive vehicle based on no...

$750. It's posted on your weekly statement. Jack

Why are you interested in any type of generator? Why the expense, weight, repairs, problems, etc? What do you need a gererator for, what is it going to be used for. Why not a properly installed inverter system? Just curious, Jack

I strongly agree with xiggi; There are a ton of 08's on the market (some with sleepers) that you can get for thousands off a 2010 - and they are the SAME vehicle. Why spend 10 -20 - or MORE when you don't have to? JMO, Jack

Big Al; Just my opinion but a 170 wb, 2500 model will get you more than your share of freight of all sizes and shapes. Three full pallets and more. Reliability in the new Sprinters I have found is excellent. I own a small fleet of Sprinters and my drivers are very happy, and yes I would/and am...

From Seattle to Miami means you pass through cold weather states. Many of the cold weather states require all diesel to have at least 5% Bio added. Biodiesel will clog your EGR valve and the results are exactly as you described; loss of power, difficulty getting up hills, and the engine light...

I have a fleet of 08 Sprinters and we idle ALOT! Factory installed fast idle, idles at 1500rpms. If engine is not fast idled - power will be lost, until vehicle stops and won't start (engine fail safe mode) Only solution is EGR valve replacement or cleaning. If engine must be running when...

Bruce: With very little or no experience I offer the following advice: Do not buy or lease your own truck! The economy is still questionable, many experienced O/O's are giving up or losing their trucks because of this. Find a company that is looking for team drivers...

If you do a search you will find that the majority of people on this site will recommend you sign on with an O/O first, learn the business, and then decide if this is right for you. I am one of those who would never recommend you invest your money in equipment - then go out and see if you can...

Have them on my big trucks, no deer hits. Didn't put them on the van and after only three weeks I ran right into one! If I had to guess I'd say they may work.
