Exercise your grey matter and join in . . .I thought of this after reading the post "stupid things we have done", and then these two happened to me: You Might Be a Redneck Expediter if the luggage you carry in and out of the motel are Wal-Mart grocery bags. You Might Be a Redneck Expediter...

We're trying to start some kind of exercise regiment on the road, we're getting concerned about how stiff we are, flexibility is less. We're using the stretch/resistance bands. Literally no weight at all, and you can use them in the cab and sleeper. Then fold them up and they store away in very...

Just curious WhiteWolf, from your post it looks like you ate up about a month, more or less. Have you had any other messages from the alledged lawyer, the investor, or been able to get the bank to budge at all in 2 1/2 - 3 months? The Gibster

We had 489,000 on the ISB260 Cummins before we rolled it in for the reman engine. When pulling it down (started by almost every seal or gasket leaking - by vibration as mentioned earlier) they discovered very worn cam lobes, tappet ends worn severely on 4 tappets, and one lobe had a longitudinal...

What a bummer! And it's probably been a while since you cracked up your truck, then 1 deer. Man! Hope you get it fixed and back on the road soon. Any chance insurance will cover it?

Found it LDB. . . it's sweeeeeeeeet! http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=829&forum=DCForumID2 The Gibster;)

Just remembered, didn't Big Bus Bob post pictures of his cab-over sleeper design with shower/toilet when he drove for PII? Couldn't get the pictures to show then someone helped, showed the interior pretty good . . .remember? That was sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

Man Dave, I wish someone from the sleeper industries were reading your post! Recently we drove a Sterling (a recent post in Truck Talk) and vowed never again to be in a truck/sleeper without a walkthru. But it's like 2 different worlds - the options you want are available in a crawlthru and...

I would also add to check the FTC website, although it sounds like the whole matter originated overseas with the scam artists. You can be perceived as truly the victim in the scam, and that might get the bank to see it from your side. It's probably gonna be a very, very long battle. Any local...

I echo ATCO's reasoning for a tip. We're big tippers, (last night $10 for a $39 dinner because the waiter was extremely attentive, and gave us what we wanted without batting an eye after we picked some of this and some of that off the menu). But we also have left a dollar because we had to...

A couple of years ago when we first started expediting we bumped into Glen and his wife and the big Volvo. Great folks, great truck. We had come from driving Prevost motor coaches and were used to all the amenities. We secured a 96" sleeper unit and began talking to other custom and larger...

A ways back someone had posted that they had to replace the alternator, that the Sprinter alternator didn't like the amount of prolonged idling that many incur. And I think it was around $500 or so . . .but the archives will bear this out. We've looked at one for a personal vehicle because of...

I'm not sure if you've heard of or had a chance to consider this, so I thought I'd mention it. Some loading docks and facilities won't let you on property with a pet. We've discovered this at nuke plants, some chem plants, and most recently at a Dupont facility. A couple of them had holding...

Ours is actually a debit/check card. I guess the question is does your card have the Visa or MC logo? We used a check card with the visa logo from the bank a couple of summers ago to buy a painting - it was to be framed and sent to the shop for us to pick up. The shop in the meantime closed up...

Hey ATCO, We keep track of our reciepts as close as you do and also have run across overages. After getting answers on phone calls like you did from the business we just started going right to our card company. We have the Flying J card and we call them, advise them of the problem so it's on...

Good Luck! I admire your determination and attitude. Everyone can bounce back - just ask Broompilot!:7:7 ;-) The Gibster

Zing, My impression of an open forum is to have open idea sharing about (a subject) for the benefit and education of all those involved. I am not, and don't feel anyone else is trying to bash or smear you. I support all your opinions, your opinion different than mine about something means I...

If you deliver in or around Philly there are 2 easy to get to places in town to park and dine. Get off I95 at the 'Penn's Landing' exit (you'll see the old US Steamship liner along the waterfront for a landmark). Follow the waterfront west to Oregon Avenue, and turn north/right. Just past the...
