    Hwy 31 by-pass or How to get around 15 stop lights

    Just remember; the current US 31 through Kokomo was also built as a "bypass". It didn't take them long to screw that all up!!

    FECC unit at Defending The Republic Event

    I attended the Defending The Republic Event in St Charles, MO with Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck on Friday night. There was a FECC C-unit (Ford or Sterling Chassis) in the parking lot but I didn't get a chance to go say hi. Any idea who it may have been? It was a great event.

    chevy cut away van?

    You can still order the 10K dual cutaway but they don't advertise it. Also the typical VIN as you described was all changed in 2010 model year....I haven't figured out the method of identifying gvwr with the new number combos. Also I have even seen a few GDJ's in the 2007-2008 area that were...

    Texting in Indiana

    This is "feel good" legislation. It is about as enforcable as the 55 MPH speed limit on I-465!!

    Cube Van

    If anyone is interested in running a 10,000 GVWR DRW cube van this might be of interest to you. Any Penske DRW cube trucks model year 2008 and later have a minimum GVWR of 12,300. If this is of concern to you you may want to get in and get a 2007 before they are gone. Rent-A-Center still uses...

    FECC colors

    Wow I wish I had known. By the time I got to that end I was ready to leave so I didn't take a close look at it. One would have thought they would have been over with the other expediters. It was a nice truck though.

    FECC colors

    When did the Custom Critical branch acquire the standard FedEx blue/red color scheme in place of the two tone blue? The trucks and display at MATS were the first time I had seen this. Pics included. Sorry for the poor quality due to the lighting.

    Unicell/ Chevy Van

    Greg, I have often wondered what the true difference was between the GM DRW 10,000 unit and the GM DRW 12,000 unit. I contend it's probably just a change in the door sticker and they you couldn't tell one from the other if they weren't marked. I could be wrong. Anyone know??

    Unicell/ Chevy Van

    So are you guys saying you can no longer get a DRW159" with a 10,000# GVWR?? I noticed the new Penske cubes are marked 12,300 on the outside but I had never bothered to look at the sticker inside the door. Did anyone ever notice that on the pre-2007 Ford Penske cubes that they had them...

    Wouldn't adding a trailer to the Sprinter throw you over the 10K # limit??
