RE: ¿Querría cualquiera clases de español libre How about free english classes for the foreigners???? I am tired of bending over bass ackwards for them!!!!! WELCOME TO AMERICA........NOW SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!!!

RE: Warning ticket for truck being too high in Ind I am glad that common sense prevailed but how much did this end up costing you as far as retaining the attorney that ended up not being needed? As usual the only winners are the lawyers.

The only state I am aware of that has actually paid off a toll road and then dropped the tolls is Kentucky. Just this month they paid off the final two toll roads The Natcher (Bowling Green to Owensboro) and The Audubon (Owensboro to Henderson) and have discontinued the tolls and are in the...

If a B unit is towing a camper does that throw them over the threshold for logging and scaling w/ gross combined vehicle weight???

No I haven't jacked up the back yet. So far I have only had one incident involving a "supposed" dock high only receiver. There was a line of trucks clear back to the gate. I went on through to check in and the receiver said I would have to go to the end of the line and wait for an open dock...

I live here in Hoosier Land as well. I don't agree with everything Gov. Daniels has done but I give him credit for actually doing something. As for the new toll road around Indy I would gladly pay to bypass that I-69 Fishers mess especially if it means the new I-69 from Indy to Evansville...

I don't think anyone except for GM had any DRW vehicles under 10,001# GVWR. Ford had a SRW cutaway with a 9600#. The Sprinter cab/chassis when first introduced had a 9990# GVWR but the second year of production it was raised to 10,200#. I have a 2002 GMC DRW former Penske truck with a 10,000#...

I found an article on this in the latest issue of Light & Medium Truck magazine. I found the following information off www.fleet.ford.com/FFH/Rental02_15_06.asp The original article indicated a gas only (5.4) model but I can't confirm that. Who would want a 6.0 problem child diesel anyway...

My former truck was a 1997 Ram 3500 cab/chassis with a 12' Supreme box. It had 16" tires. When I bought the truck used it was 43" from ground to floor of box. I took it to Lonnie's Truck & Trailer in Indy and they raised the box 5" by adding a few pieces of steel between the chassis and the...

I just took my "new" 2002 GMC cube (Penske) truck to Wal-Mart for a simple oil/filter change. Right next to the Oil Fill under the hood is a sticker that states... "this vehicle is equipped with a 5.7L Vortec engine it has a maximum oil capacity of 6 quarts including what is in the filter. Do...

Greg, Where did you find a 2003 GMC cutaway Duramax?? They just started putting the Duramax in the van bodies in 2006.

Thanks for the info Marty.

Thanks, Moot. That is exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

Well here is how it is. I am not hauling cheap freight. I do not do van runs in my cube truck that I have now. My company has more straight truck freight than they have trucks so if I am able to carry a slightly larger than van load and keep a straight truck in service for a "real" straight...

The company I am leased to has several former Penske (under 10,001#) cube trucks signed on. We have several customers who don't require dock high vehicles and these cubes can carry at least 6 45x48 skids. They get cube rate for anything over 2 skids or 3001# and over. The guys I have spoken to...

I posted a similar message a few weeks back but didn't get much response so I thought I would try again. I need to replace my current vehicle and needed some info from GM van owners. I love running a cube truck but I always said my next one will be under 10,001# to avoid the logging hassle. I...

Is the new fuel even out yet?? All the pumps I have been to lately still have the notice about the fuel not being for the 2007 and later vehicles which means it is the low sulfur fuel not the ultra low sulfur fuel.

Thanks for the info Frank. As for the Duramax van cutaways you can even get a dual rear wheel model with a 10,000# gvwr that still keeps you under 10,001#. I like the dually model due to the extra width of the box interior. Approx 78" for SRW and 91" for DRW, which means two 45"w skids can be...

That is cool. I wish people would get their stories straight because I asked that very same question at US Truck Body and they told me it was illegal for them to alter the gvwr that the chassis manufacturer had declared for the vehicle. I may consider a Morgan box instead. I would definitely...

Sorry, I misread the question. Thought you were talking about determination of van loads vs cube loads vs straight truck loads instead of what the minimum payload requirement is for said vehicle.
