Am I the only one that has been sitting WAY to long for a run???:(:(

I asked my RV about the 7000 btu unit. He told me it would be a great unit if i wasnt going to be anywhere that the tempatures get above 85 degrees that is why I went with the 13500 btu unit it was only 750 installed. and i have the 3500 watt generator. I can run a/c and almost anything else I...

I think the most memorable road that I have ever taken was U.S. 95 from Las Vegas to Reno. If you have the time you can stop in all the old silver mining towns and look around. I got to see how they had made building walls out of old bottles. It was an awesome look at the way things were built...

I dont know much about the RV model but if it is basically stripped down I dont see a problem with the weight. One thing about the 2004 models that you have to worry about is the EGR valve. They are know for getting clogged. There are threads on here that can help you with that problem. Another...

There are a few companys that do not require hazmat or crossing into Canada. As far as regional work.. I havent seen a company other then the air freight company that only have regional work. If I had the money to choose a van or a sprinter i would choose the sprinter for the space. A vehicle...

Sitting here in Bowman, South Carolina. Had very little rain yesterday but was very windy. Got lucky was supposed to be bad here

South Carolina isnt much better.

I had texas sleeper built into our old straight truck. If that is what you are looking for All American sleepers in Tampa, Florida can do it the right way. If i remember the cost was about 10 grand. We had it hooked into our financing. The bulkhead had to be put in by a DOT approved sleeper...

I used to stay out 4-6 weeks at a time but now it seems I'll be staying out at least 6-7 weeks to make it more profitable. Then again I have always been a weekend warrior. With the fuel so high I lose money cause more people are staying out on the weekends.

As a wise old expediter told me once (ovm). It is all in the contract. If you sign a contract that says you get $1 per mile and that is all then the company does NOT have to pay a fuel surcharge. If you sign a contract that says they will pay you a fuel surcharge then you will get it. The fuel...

Spring..... I am sitting in Florida where it is 85 degrees and sunny.... Summer is here already.. Cant wait to get back out and cool off:D

Welcome to the world of expediting. All I can tell you is this... You have to figure out what it is going to cost you to run per mile and then figure out what you have to make to make it profitable. Some people can make 75 cents per mile and make a profit and some people can do it for less or...

Haven't they been on vacation for like 4 years??? lol:D:D

I have a coleman Mach 3 13500 btu unit with a heat strip... i have had it since 06 and have never had any problems with mine. The only bad thing is that you have to use a 3500 watt generator or higher to make it run. I would suggest not to get the heat strip it really doesnt work that well...

Welcome to the forum its a great place for information and advice. Just remember this.... No one will have the same opinion about anything. But its a great way to learn and enjoy the expediting lifestyle.:)

I have 426000 on mine..... BUT I also have a new motor and tranny..... BUT that is cause of drivers that dont treat equipment right...... I know a friend of mine just traded his in and he had over 800000 on his

WOW... I must say thank you for this post. I haven't even thought about this until now. I guess I need to sit down and talk to my wife about this. THANKS AGAIN

I Plug in and turn the ac on then i usually use their wifi and watch movies and of course ya gotta take at least 2 showers to make the stay worth it. Then again I stayed at one that had Karaoke at night and bingo during the day.

Im not sure about the tires... But i will tell you to get them from Tire Rack. They have the best prices around and they are located in south bend its worth the trip to them

I am glad everyone is pulling their trucks.... more money more money:D:D.... Yes i have had my ups and downs but i can say its all about location AND being smarter then the next rookie:P:P
