Who plans to stay out on the road the next couple weeks? I might move close to where family and friends live, but I plan to stay available. At my first pick up of the day, they said they will probably be working on Christmas eve. Sounds good to me. eb

In other conversations, people have asked about how much electricity solar panels put out in real world applications. Here are a couple observations I've made so far. I'm using two 125 watt panels. I did an experiment to see how much of a difference tilting the panel would make while...

Old dog, new trick. When searching topics I frequently have problems with searches that return no hits. One big reason is that some words are too short. Oil and van are a couple examples. For some reason I have been overlooking the Search by Tab feature within advanced search. Oil and van...

I'm going to use this thread to highlight some of the libraries that I use along the way. I am a fan of libraries and find them a good escape from the confines of the vehicle. Libraries are air conditioned, and quiet, the rest rooms are clean, and at many places the library is near a local...

This thread can also be titled: Common answer to common questions. Newbies to the forum frequently start their posting career with broad questions like: 1) How can I get started in expediting? 2) Who is the best company to work for? 3) What is the meaning of life, the universe and...

Hey Anne, Nice to chat with you today when I was looking for the orange safety vest. I was in a bit of a rush. I was on a load and trying to stay ahead of schedule eventhough I had already stopped at three stores before stopping at hq in my quest for the proper colored safety vest. eb

Okay, I just installed a set of auxiliary batteries in my sprinter. I now have the ability to finely tune the voltage levels of charging. If the battery manufacturer gives me a voltage range for bulk and float, do I shoot for the middle of the range or does it make a difference if I go higher...

It's sort of lonely over at the up-and-running, now-operational mysprintervan.com. A couple people have had a couple technical questions that I'm not up to answering, but I know we have some here that could help. eb

The 07 Sprinter has a track built into the rain gutter. Seems the perfect place to mount a roof rack. Problem is that I'm having trouble finding anything that adapts to the track. The dealership has nothing listed. I've found a couple aftermarket rack models, but they look more like homemade...

What's going on with mysprintervan.com? eb

Do you tell dispatch that you will be available during the weekend if you've been available all week? I have been operating under the assumption that if my status hasn't changed then why bother telling them that I would still be in service. This past Monday it sounded like there was confusion...

Just picked up a load of this stuff at a Sam's Club in Auburn Hills, MI for $33.48/case of six. eb

What does Bolt cargo van freight look like going out of Little Rock or Memphis? Also Longview, TX? With Panther I used to get good long runs when sitting around Longview and north of there, but I don't know how that translates to Bolt. eb

I'm here. Wondering which bolt heads are using this section of the forum these days. Also, is there a way to subscribe to a particular sub-forum like this one? Like subscribing to a thread. eb

Greetings fellow bolt heads. I graduated from Bolt Academy this afternoon. I'm spending my first night in-service as a bolt driver. Thank you all. Everyone's information posted throughout eo has been a big help in my search for a new home. eb

I'm comfortable driving a tanker. No problems with a Sprinter van. In my new job I'm in a straight truck. I'm not used to having my rear end hanging out so far. What is the proper way to take a corner as to minimize swatting other vehicles on my outside side? Sometimes I feel like my back...

I just gave panther my notice. I think I'm leaving on a positive note. No bridges to burn. Best of everything to all my panther cousins. I'll be hauling and installing art for a company that does that sort of thing. I'll still be part of the eo forum and will still be trying to make it to...

I have over 4800 miles the last two weeks. By far my best run since signing on with panther. By the looks of the pro bill numbers, others must be moving pretty well too. What a week. Loaded miles, my long awaited company newsletter was published, noticeable progress on boards, and now a...
