Old post in the current conversation but..... newbie here, just catching up January posting, & learning from you all.... Let's see: Likewise here.... got called at 9.30 pm(c) Central Time Zone (easy folks,I need the ez ones to prop up me ego);) and offered a 275 DH $275 for Dead Heading...

This thread's a year old but for me it starts this January, 2017. I have just finished putting my first 1K miles on my new Transit T350 9500# and realized driving it home how important it shall be to stay conscious of the new habits I shall be finding myself ruled by in a month or so...

Oooops.... thought I knew what I was doing, NOT, and came back to see the update and saw the btw, Jimmy Wales dangling... Meant to be Jimbo, B.D.F.L. provided me the opportunity to get reminded of who Typhoid Mary was, just in case I found it necessary to defend my position of carrier...

xiggi, thanks for the vote, been reading your stuff for a while now and value your POV. ...big majority of carriers... is the kinda statement I was fishing for. As a newbie I have heard how the color of vehicle can matter, tied with my own awareness filter driving down the road, I see only the...

Chicken before the egg? Carrier before van, van before carrier - newbie stumbling along here.... About to do the purchase of the van, maybe a factory order which would mean maybe March delivery. If I go that route, I really like the Blue Jeans color Ford has for the transit. Now checking the...

Bingo! Moot, you have chimed in before, and again, hit the target of my search. 9000# and 9500# are in, 9950# gone. I had gotten to far in to the forest to remember all the trees. Dah.... of course it has EVERYTHING to do with the wheel well issue. I may have gotten it before your mention...

2017 shall be my year to go on the road! Feels like I have travelled across the country sitting next to a whole bunch of you as I have been looking out your passenger window watching the different trucks, vans, drivers and adventures of expeditors go by. Thanks for "hosting" me along your...

...getting sick of van researching...

...gettimsick of van researching..

Thanks Crich, this is another reason these boards are a high value stock for me, as much as I think I research, it amazes me how much I miss. Case in point is Uber itself as you have generously pointed out. I am not a carrier so at this point not useful for me except for thought and...

:weird:Again, so much intelligence and interesting stuff keeps me coming back. Since my venture into your world at the EOL & dinner with the folks at ES, as well as speaking with many others at the conference in July I am still wondering about Elon Musk and his Brethren into this area. While...

Hmmmm.... are they forgetting the id plate on the vehicle, licensing process, DOT and other regs, and the basic physics that are used by the engineers to design the heat dissipation system within the parameters their trucks are designed around? Lotta time has passed using existing limits so...

Great, my newest best friend, anyone got is home address and phone number?:jester:

Just for a laugh about this whole thing:

Very interesting for me, this topic as it combines many of the elements that are attracting me to join in on this Expediter thing not the least of which are the conversations and interesting thoughts that I have been exposed to here in the culture that has been created by all of you, I also am...

I have been trying out the living on the road idea for a while, actually that is how I first heard of Expediting. I am looking for the adventure aspect of randomly moving around, getting a few bucks doing it, but comfort is very, very important to me. My van purchase and build will be at a...

1/16 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft. Plastic Panel-63003 - The Home Depot Alternative? I have bought this stuff above to “play with”. Very easy to work with, but not sure how dimensionally stable with large swings in ambient temperatures a van might experience. Pretty light when compared to the...
