That was actually Guido who made the suggestion. Nice save! Well, nice attempt at a save anyway :D Hope it goes well in the am.

So, you have all that training and you still got ticketed? Maybe you should have included HAZMAT along with CSA and DOT? You really should keep up better....lots of good info in this thread. Some of it even proves your above statement to be false.

I don't think anyone actually makes a complete intake for the vans. The research I did also suggest that the intake on most newer vehicles is pretty good as oem...you just need the filter. They are lifetime filters, but I bought a second one so that I could have one ready to drop in, then wash...

Not interested. I see no benefit in it for my business. Only enough to keep me out of trouble. I'm sure there are plenty of others who feel the same.

Those are nice looking vans. Do you have the 6 speed with 3.73 gears? If you bought it new, the mileage will probably improve over the next 20,000 or so. One of the best things I did for my mpg was swap the oem air filter for a K&N....just the filter is all you need. O'reiily has/had them for...

Mine isn't.

Phil, please understand that your experiences are different from others. Myself, when I took the CDL class, I was preparing to be a company flat bed driver. There was no reason at all to take the Hazmat exam. I did glance through the material and, on the day of the test, the tester (someone I...

Just because you got the violation doesn't mean it was legitimate. I'm guessing that Phil or Turtle know the regulations better than most LEO's and sadly, probably better than a lot of DOT officers. You were carrying 300 lbs of what? Understanding what you can and cannot carry without a...

Wish he would post. We may need to be getting bail money together.

They seemed to be replying to posts #84 and 85. So the word "no" indicates that they didn't take it...but then they said they did. I think they just left out a very important word. Where is Amonger when we need him? Spell checking the alphabet?

I actually think he/she left the word "not" out of their reply. I think they meant to say they did not take the load?

It seems as though CharlesD may have offered the simplest solution for those who are not familiar with Hazmat regulations. Use the UN number to look up the MSDS and research from there whatever material/freight is in question. If that is true, it would be much simpler and effective. The...

So Ateam, I have a question for you. How much of the Hazmat regulations did you understand before going through Hazmat training at your carriers? Did you follow up that training by researching presented material to determine if the presented material was in fact accurate? There are probably...

Well....duhhhh! They started background checks for a reason ya know? :D

The impact will be heavy. I don't know enough about their market outside of expedite to know chances for survival. Some will still prefer the upfits. Personally, the only real thing that would make me trade would be fuel mileage. I'm pretty happy with mine. I wouldn't invest any money into any...

Exactly! You could really have a lot of fun out there...if you could make enough money to afford it! I'm gonna re-think my game plan a bit. Maybe I'll marry an expediter and put her in a straight truck, that way I'll have some income to "share" and I can enjoy the van more? Whatcha think? :D

Is that totally true? I'm asking for a reason...for clarification. It is illegal to placard a vehicle that is carrying non-hazmat materials, correct? So, if it is, would using placards on a hazmat load that does not require placards (table 2, less than 1,001lbs) not be a violation also? I can...

"P" has been discussed at length on this forum...I suggest using the search function :D

I would wait to see how the Transit works out before I made a move. It has the potential to be the best unit of all. The Dodge could also be a winner. Although I'm happy with my CargoMax, xiggi is correct, they are all just upfitted cargo vans. Nothing more, nothing less. If the van in the...
