Gentlemen, I have been guilty of allowing my personal feelings to surface within the context of my posts. May I suggest that we all respond to personal differences via Private Messages. More often than not, my frustration and venting was the result of misunderstanding and not due to a...

Standard mileage rate. The term "standard mileage rate" means the applicable amount provided by the Service for optional use by employees or self-employed individuals in computing the deductible costs of operating automobiles (including vans, pickups, or panel trucks) they own or lease for...

Oops! I see that I forgot the most important information. Where did I buy the fan? Thank you for asking me that question. I got it through amazon.com only because I was ordering something else at the time. You can visit the site where amazon.com redirects. Caframo Minimax Portable Fan...

Thanks Piper 1, This makes my third truck since January 2006. The other two were standard cargo vans. That gave me two years of sleeping on the floors of those trucks to think about what I would do given the opportunity to get a truck like this one. I would sit on the floor of those other...

I really like this little fan. It folds down flat and angles up from 0 to 90 degress. It has 4 "D" cell batteries in the base. There are four speed settings. On low, it will run for 72 hours. I bought it to place it on the dash during the winter when heating the van. I discovered that...

I wanted to take a moment to say a special thank you to my sales consultant at Aerocell. Ms. Jennifer Nietopski answered probably 50+ emails and phone calls from me regarding this unit. Most sales people would have simply given up and moved on to the next potential customer. Not Jen! She...

Welcome! I really like the Driver's Lounge. Nice showers, free laundry, huge kitchen, big screen TV, free wireless internet and the picnic tables on the patio. Plenty of parking spaces too! Butch and the guys in the shop are the best I have ever seen. They just put a new QC in my truck...

Espar will be installed later this summer. Maybe a small inverter for the laptop, but I really do not sit in the truck when it is stopped. All my food can be prepared with hot water and is dry packaged; hence, no appliances. Good thought about the aluminum wheels. I need to check on those...

Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. We must make decisions when in business, but moving too quickly or too slowly can be disastrous. Balance is the key when decisions are necessary. The Bible talks about a...

I have been around the house for about two months and only took 4 loads between April 1st and May 22nd. Spent the time selling my other truck, working on the new truck and doing a few home remodeling projects. Finally got the new truck into service on the 22nd. Woke up at 5am and got to...

FedEx and Landstar are both top tier carriers; as are several others. Income to the truck is fairly equal amongst the top tier carriers. If you are new to the business of Over-The-Road trucking in general, and expedited trucking in particular, I would suggest you consider getting a Class A...

OVM, My post referenced a Sprinter with a sleeper conversion package. I drove it across a set of scales myself. Too heavy! BTW...We have already seen the posts where Panther II rejected two of these Sprinters so equipped due to a lack of minimum cargo capacity. One can increase, or...

Well, it is a public forum. Let's hear from CTX. Silence may be construed as the burden of guilt.

Good idea! Many of the best officers I served under were those who had come up through the ranks. I believe it will give you a greater appreciation for the craft. In the chain of command, my first contact person is a former O/O who had a small fleet of trucks. He is advocate for me...
