    Truckstop showers

    This is a bit off the subject of driving but could be just as important for you or your hub/wife at home. It is on this same topic though. Vacuum cleaners, where ya have the filters ya have to clean.. often have millions of micro organisms on them. So if you have to clean those, ya may want...

    September Location

    I don't have internet on the road. This week I went to Kansas City, Omaha, & Wall, South Dakota. I misunderstood the details on the last one or I would have passed on it. It's one of those runs I wish I'd brought my camera on though.

    A possible solution

    Dear Employee: As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot...

    11' 8"....

    I'm guessing you already know, but just in case ya didn't. Make sure you go get the Speedway Gift card charged up & then use that card to fill your tanks. Don't just use the Rewards card while paying w/ cash or credit card. Again, I'm figuring ya already know. But just want to be sure. I...

    Verizon MiFi

    How much per month? I went to the Verizon site & I found that w/ a laptop purchase you can get teh laptop & that for as low as $40. Ironically I couldn't find the price of just the verizon service w/out the laptop.

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    Dennis, That sounds like a pretty neat set up you have & something along the lines of what I'm interested in. I guess I'm on the right track removing the passenger seat. No one rides there anyway. You have the 1 ton w/ the extra room. What I'm wondering now is how long can you sit until...

    ????S About leasing with two companies

    Some good points there. I don't have an answer on the random drug test except to tell them I'm on a run for the other company. As for the accident, the insurance company knows about multiple companies. I got the policy w/ that in mind & they know upfront. As for the police, ya just tell...

    ????S About leasing with two companies

    Actually you can if the companies will allow it. I'm doing just that, albeit w/ not so great results. 2 companies, 0 runs in 2 weeks. In full disclosure I was out of service for 3 days & did have 1 run offer, but couldn't take it. Still, not a lot of work between the 2 companies. Maybe...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    Well, I was looking at straight trucks. Research has kind of steered me away from them at the moment. By that I mean talking to some ST owners, dispatch at the companies I work for, lack of parking threads on here, etc. If I decide on a ST afterall, I would work for an owner first. But my...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    Hi, Would anyone know the approx. gas milage on either the 1 ton Ford extended vans? The government sites don't list it & I haven't been able to find it in a search on here. I get 17-18 highway on my 250, so am guessing the 350 would be around 14-15. So if anyone has an E-350 extended van...

    Class 7 vs Class 8

    In another thread Greg said something about getting a class 8 w/ a liftgate. I see all the time things that refer to "class 8" but don't get exactly what the difference between a class 7 & class 8 is. Is it something that has to do w/ the age of the vehicle? Or maybe certain features on a...
