Yes, I have dealt w/ em. I worked for em for about a month & didn't get paid. This was I'm guessing Sept or Oct of 94. I was pretty decent about things. I still hadn't been paid by November. I'd call & see if there was any update on things in regards to my pay. Of course there was always a...

The rollers I got at Grainger. They cost about $800. I've had freight where they came in handy, like a big 48X120X40 crate that wasn't on a skid. Other times though, they're a pain in the rump. Securing things that aren't very tall (that don't come up to my etracks) can be a pain. I'd say...

I've been in the process of moving/starting w/ a new company so this is my first chance to be on for awhile. This is an additional comment to my view on the Sprinter & also a reply to a few people who asked about the rollers. For starters, the rollers were $800 for 3 of em. They can be bought...

I def. like the gas milage. I have a 2005 158wb Sprinter. The gas milage is coming in at just a touch under 23MPG. The van takes some getting used to, but that's to be expected for any vehicle. It's got real tight turning, good pep & rides fairly smooth. I like that I can stand up & not have...

This is only my opinion, but the best card to get is the Speedway/Chase card. For the first 2 months you get 8% off. You don't get it at the pump, but you get it as a rebate on your bill one month later. To keep it simple I'll just use gas purchases, but your bill would look something like...

Thanx to those who responded & also to Geo. I think I'm going to go w/ a 2006 Sprinter & hope that I get a solid vehicle & not one similar to some of the one's that some EO members have gotten. My logic is that a new Sprinter isn't actually that much more than a used one. If I'm buying a...

I will be purchasing a new vehicle soon & any input anyone may have would be helpful. I'm debating whether to get a Ford Diesel or a Sprinter. I've read the archives as thouroughly as I can & still have a few questions. I realize diesel & gas prices aren't the same, but as best as I could...

Some of ya's already do this. Rest easy, it's not multi level or any of that crap. It's limited to Speedway gas stations. However, I did this to save 7 cents/gallon last fill up. I'm not sure how it works for the big trucks, but for us gassers it can be pretty handy. For starters I got a...

Heya Broom, I basically try & post when I feel I have something to add, which I'll do in the next few paragraphs. In some of the recent threads, I had no real opinions on anything. Plus, my focus has been more on family challenges & home improvements recently. I haven't been in service these...

Hiya, I wrote a reply to this earlier, but I guess it didn't post. So here's the reply again. If the original reply shows up, well I guess there will just be 2 of em. Anyways, I got the original info from a friend about what the mailman made. I went to USPS.com (the US Post office site) & I...

Hiya, Just my 2 cents here, but if you're going to have a route, the US Post Office might be a good way to go. They're tough jobs to get, but if you can the pay is pretty dang good. You start out at $17.80/hour. Anything over 40 hours is time & a half. That's $26.70 hour. Saturdays are also...
