Since I have decided to retain the van, thought I might as well do some preventive maintainance work on it ..... So I merrily call my friendly Freightliner dealer for a price on 4 new shocks, installed. After the call was finished ... the smile had disappeared. $800.00 for parts, 4.5 hours...

I submitted the following comment on their website ... perhaps if you agree with me, you might also comment to them?

They are killing your load speeds Lawrence .... Maybe some tweaking is in order? It takes forever to load the pages ... and as I watch the bar at the bottom, it is stalling on ad's and images ..

"$5.37! " That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the...

I thought I had it sold, but the buyer was not interested in the logistics of getting the title from Daimler. Decided I'll just drive it on to August ..... that was my original plan anyway ... btw .... I did a LOT of research on a replacement. For weight and capacity, the Sprinter 3500 still...

I made an inquiry to Pilot about getting my new rewards card set for pump start, received this reply: I don't use the truck islands, as the high speed nozzles take me forever to fill this Sprinter, plus I usually end up spilling fuel on the side of the van. Oh well. (But it was nice they...

Unbelievable! Here I am in Wendy's getting a baked potato in Walcott, Iowa, at the truckstop .. I hear, "Grandpa!" ..... there was my grandson Lane .... on his way to a band performance in Chicago! Don't ask me what they play .. they call it Christian Metal ..... anyway, something I do not...

Nothing like a good outing to Cracker Barrel ..... and chicken and dumplings! Thanks for the company Phil and Diane ... was nice finally meeting up with you. Here is a couple of more pics I have stored somewhere here on EO, but I can never figure out how to see them unless I chose to post them...

I found this video to describe the van I have for sale ..... "She's Cherry!"

Was fueling here by Dallas, this place sells "Texas Best Smokehouse" jerky ... and it is perfect! That Jack Links stuff is trash .... this is the kind of jerky you have to gnaw on for awhile before you can swallow it .... I got the "salt and pepper" version ... man, it's good! They don't have...

Venus and Jupiter are getting mighty close together in the evening sky .... I guess tonight, and tomorrow evening is the closest they will appear to be together ...

I have been talking with Turtle Top about an expediter conversion with a sleeper. They have one on the ground now at their plant in Indiana .... but all they did was copy the Midway Conversion. I have been discussing the 10,000 pound model for both a Ford and a GM product. Both manufacturers...

Why does the the subject line only place one word per line? No biggie, just wondering.

I have listed my Sprinter for sale. (Check the classifieds) I'm not really promoting the sale here, just lamenting that a lifetime profession may be coming to and end soon. After 43 years on the road, I guess it is time .... It's time to stop going like my butt is on fire and slow down with...
