    Maybe I should be a Ford guy?

    This makes sense if they don't have diesels now in the euro transits. I wonder what percent of the E series vans sold in a given year are diesel?

    How is your week?

    I'm sorry, I didn't see your post on the first page. I was talking about somebody that posted about their aunt and how chef was talking about you can be sued for it. Then I was responding to highway star's hypothetical situation about going down a hill or around a corner. I'm sorry if I...

    How is your week?

    I probably am. But I personally think that if the road is that dark, you probably shouldn't be out driving your headlights. That's just the way I was taught. I took defensive driving when I was 16 and one of the things that always stuck was to always have a back up plan, always look for a...

    How is your week?

    I said a corner that you can't see a tractor trailer fwiw. That would have to be a pretty sharp corner imo and hence you should slow down to close to 5mp on that sharp of a corner.

    Fleet owners that lease their trucks on with companies

    People are probably going to need more info than that to try to help you. You need to be more specific I think. Telling people a little more about your situation, what types of trucks you have, what companies your thinking about leasing on to might help. I don't know anything about the...

    How is your week?

    You shouldn't be going that fast around a curve if you can't stop in time imo. I'm not willing to risk my life if there is a broke down tractor trailer around a corner I can't see or some other object. I like living.

    Pet Peeve

    Having your lights on, on a bright sunny day makes it easier for people to spot you in mirrors. Lights on for safety 100% of the time you are rolling imo.

    How is your week?

    If a driver can't avoid a cow on the road, he shouldn't be driving. Its not like a cow can quickly dash to the other line as the driver is trying to avoid him. What if a baby was stationary on the road, don't you think a driver has the responsibility to avoid not killing the baby? Its pretty...

    Rising Driver Turnover Rate Threatens Shippers

    I think your post has merit. I asked a while back about moving up to a s/t and was told no because of the insurance requirements but after I proved myself to the company with a good record, even though I don't have 1 year cdl experience, I got promoted to a st. that combined with a crunch to...

    That Sure Does Seem Expensive !

    About 3 months ago a poster posted a couple of times about $43 insurance for a c/v and I had in bookmarked on my laptop but my laptop crashed. Anyone remember who the poster was or what insurance company that was?

    how much can i make driving a van

    When I was a company driver, I made my personal budget based on $400 / week. You have to plan for breakdowns ( more often than you think), slow times in the industry, gettingstuck somewhere for 3+ days and ruining your week. Ihad more than one $250 week in a 3 month period, you need to budget...

    How do you like the Bionic?

    I'm tempted to get what, but how much bandwith do you use gaming? Could I use it to stream netflix or would it be too costly?
