Hey Broom, Check out the card member account information on that application. There might be a restriction for "commercial" usage. The banks that offer these cards are very aware that business owners will use these cards. The bank will also monitor the charges for fraud and that can affect...

RE: Sleepers Sorry, The site is Phoenixconversions.net :+

RE: Sleepers I am glad to see Bentz get thier site up (at least a message that it will be in April). I called them and they are most helpful. In the mean time, try Phoenix.net. They are a conversion company in Knoxville, TN. They have an expediter package (photos) of a sprinter. :)

Hey all, One thing to remember is the airbag. You will not want anything that could be contacted by a deploying airbag. Most trucks have a switch that disables the passenger airbag but I would still be aware of the distance that is in the fire zone for the bag. Be safe and take it easy. Bob:D

You might like to try getting an amatuer radio license. You can transmit on the 2 meter (FM)70CM and up. These frequencies are all linked around the country to repeaters and it makes for good company. Since everyone is licensed, the courtesy on these freqs. is a breath of fresh air. Bob KD4BTB

Hey LDB You can accomplish the same securement utilizing Terry's setup. You will want to secure a strap around the pallet and pull the strap back towards the sides and secure them. You will then do the exact same and pull the strap around the rear of the pallet and secure is forward on the...

Meant to mention the deep cycle battery. My experience is with tractor trailer and there is more battery than in a van. Glad you didn't get stuck with a dead battery. That is a real drag. Bob:7

One essential clothing item. You will want a pair of shower shoes. Make sure you get something that will not absorb water though. The cut foam rubber types are just like sponges and will stay wet for a month. Besides, you are dragging the very thing into your "house" that you are trying to...

Have you tried a bunk warmer? You can find them in most truck stops. It is a device that is similar to an electric blanket. The only difference is that is goes UNDER you bedding. It is all you will need, even in the frozen North aye. Bob:D

No problelm the OP. I pulled flat out of Tulsa and the one thing I always heard about was the problem with freight shifting in a strong stop type incident. The safety folk had photos of the damage inflicted by a lowly bungee strap when it broke free of its mount. Man, what a lot of damage it...

What a great idea. I like that concept. I have a 1800 watt inverter that I want to install permanently under the bunk area. This way, the problem of load safety will be solved. I can only gas weld, but I think that could be done well enough to provide the strength necessary for my personal...

Hey Rich, Are you sure about that? I understood that diesel is that last to crack in the refining cycle. Gasoline requires far more refining that diesel. More diesel can be cracked from a given amount of crude than can there be gasoline. I think the current gouging is on the account of...

Thanks for the reply there. Terry you have a great set-up there. I called Phoenix conversions in Knoxville and he gave me an estimated figure of 3-4K if I wanted custom features. I thought that was more than I wanted to spend. I checked with a couple of more RV dealers her in the middle GA...

Hey Mike, I sent you a PM. Thanks Bob:7

If I may chime in here, I wonder what the high cost of ENERGY is going to do to the US economy over the next decade. If I might, our economy, while much more adapted to higher energy than in the '70s, is still energy driven. In order for the freight to move there must first be demand for...

Good stuff there Doug, I am considering a cargo van. even though the two are vastly different, the principle is the same. Thanks for your post. It really helps me more than you will ever know. Thanks Bob;)

Thanks for the return! I would have to sleep with my legs curled as you say. The widest that the configuration would allow is approximately 55". I am 6'2". I do regularly sleep curled and had the wife measure my position and she posted me at 49-51". I guess there is really no easy way to do...

I looked at the one picture alimibunk has on its site for a small sleeper on the '04 Ford they have listed. It looks like a finished bulkhead wall with a raised area for the mattress. The add calls it a 24" unit. I could see a storage are beneath the mattress. I would like to duplicate...

Thanks for the reply! I ahve been doing a great deal of research, not just the expetiter research, but retirement options, tax questions and what type of business to set up. I realize the sleeper addition to a cargo van will limit the freight space. The sleeper I looked at is from phoenix and...

Hey Guys and gals, I am new here and need some answers. I don't even know what question to ask really. I am interested enough in expediting, though, to pursue this and ask for advice here. I sent an email to PanterII and hope they are as good as they look. I have been reading posts for a...
