If you ever have seen Long horn cattle or Scottish Highlanders going through a alley. They will lower & turn their head and get a horn between the cross member, then lower & turn for the other horn. I would think a Unicorn would just slip the horn out the open top sides of a stock trailer.;)

Ryder has a rep for taking care of their trucks. There's no money in a rental truck sitting on the side of the road.

I have the CBS five box set on the Vietnam war with Walter Cronkite. Only had a few weeks there on a Merchant Marine freighter.

Wouldn't it make sense to ask a Continental dealer what the manufacture of the tires and the truck manufacture recommends?.

In August of 2007 while at Panther Orientation. When it was announced they were going to start the drug screen at least 7 persons got up and walked out.:rolleyes:

I have no doubt there are responsible hunters. Last winter. There is a older widow lady on the West side of my property. A Sunday night late I hear a shot, loud close to the house. Monday morning I get a call "Mr, Chaffey could you come over here." Her drive is up hill towards her home. In the...

How about this for expense. I'm listening to a radio program about hunting. Up front I don't hunt. Some people are allowed to hunt my property, mainly because the eat what they kill. Now back to the radio program. The host is touting a hand held infrared device, about the size of a digital...

Re: Carry pieces Not knowing my ear from my elbow. I thought it was illegal to carry in a commercial motor vehicle.

Apparently I'm not being clear in my question. I have no doubt that Mercedes engines are reliable. My question is can most Diesel shops work on them the same as a American product.

With all the comments about the maintenance regarding Sprinters. Is there a major difference also in the larger engines in a Straight truck. In regards to a USA manufactured engine?. I would think that most shops are familiar with Cat, Detroit Diesel, Cummings.

P.S. A couple of years ago there was a member on here who bragged he drove 90 mph on a regular basis in a cargo van. As I remember all who responded said they hoped not to be on the same road way with him.

What's done is done. Couldn't you have looked at the time he left with a load and the time he arrived. Check the miles against the time to figure out his average speed?. He's either speeding or making a ton of pit stops on the way and speeding to make up the difference.

Iv'e been broke plenty of times. Having some cash in the pocket is much better.:p The closest Iv'e been to homeless is being in San Francisco when home was in Connecticut. I worked for $.60 per hour 10 hour days & they with held taxes although I don't believe the IRS ever saw them. We got 1\2...

I was in one of the dozens of Wal Marts in Springfield MO a couple of weeks ago. A young couple which seemed to be quite fit were sitting on the curb with a sign " we need a little help". It occurred to me they could go inside, sit at the computer and probably be working the warehouse that night.

Mr. Mueller, in post #9 you say $14,000 gross for thirty days. Would you mind posting how many paid miles\dead head were in the thirty days quoted. The reason I ask is I keep vacillating between a good used Straight & a Ford cargomaxx. thanks

If you want to see some wacky drivers, go into any small Missouri town. Where the town square is one way where you keep turning left. 99% of the time the drivers will be in the extreme right side of the square turning left as if they had a 80 foot trailer behind them.

Dispatch must be pleased.

Good for you.

I would like, if you please some opinions from Sprinter style \ Cargomax type O\O if $1.10 a loaded mile is a reasonable average rate. Or just a pipe dream.
