Thank goodness for GPS!! My best was 56 mile errow. Is that Practical miles or shortest distance ???HUMMMMM Dan

I am a little confused as to what type of inverter you have. The normal operation of an inverter is to convert 12 volt battery power into normal household current to be able to run 115 volt appliances. The converter draws power from your batteries to do this. It does not itself store any type of...

Axis714, I hate to say this but, I hope you remember every word of your post the next time you are doubled over with stomach cramps and running a fever so high you don't know your own name due to some bacterial infection you picked up from the toilet, the buffet, or just breathing the air from a...

The only thing that seems to help me is a good set of fog lights. But you have to slow down so you don't over drive them. Dan

Hawkman, I'm sure you made the right call. I was not coming down on you personally, It just brought a lot of past emotions into mind when I read about the ice and the accidents and I got a little carried away in my post. I have a very strict rule for me and my wife: when we are not comfortable...

Hawkman, I can't help it,... One question...Why do you risk your life and your nephew's to drive in those conditions? Was the freight really that HOT? When I read a thread like yours I get weak in the knees because 5 years ago I lost a very good freind in an accidient on road conditions just as...

Just remember, to them, If you are not a latex glove expeditor...your'e just another a--hole!!! All in a days work I guess!?! Dan

Hawkman, Thats what I like about you, No BS,to the point, and tell it like it is! I agree with you 100% on this issue. Dan

Ditto what LDB said, with one exception. I have a friend who started as a solo driver for FedEx in Dec. and is doing well, Farrrr exceding the income adverage you stated in your post. But most people (even the dispatchers and recruiters)agree that FedEx is not the best company as a solo driver...

klippencott, Check the air bag valve. It has O rings in it that wear out very quickly because they are very small. If you don't replace it will blow completely out and one day you will lower your air bags and they won't come back up or they may leak down in transit,,,Talk about a rough ride!!! Dan

Broom, If MS Clinton rode with you for a day you would not run in the far right lane, you would probly just drive off the mountian to get some relief, and being the good guy that you are, give the rest of us some relief by taking her with you.LOL (Bill would probly attend your funeral instead of...

I've come to the conclusion that the problem is wedding cake. There is some ingredient in it that makes a man forgetfull, so forgetfull he leaves his ba**s in his wedding tux pants. I know it affects women differently...they never FORGET!!! Dan

This is so close to reality that it's almost not a joke!!!!!! Dan

I use DDL (Drivers daily log) and it works great. Very user freindly and you can down load a trial copy and use for 90 days without purchasing it. I think the site is www.ddl.com but you can google search it if not. Dan

I use DDL (Drivers daily log) and it is very user freindly. It will keep you out of trouble with your log book because it will warn you before you have a violation. I drive for FedExcc and this is the only computer generated logs they approve. My logs print out exactly as the FedExcc scan logs...

rode2rouen, Maybe that $540.00 was a good price? I think I only have 6 shocks instead of 8. Anyway thats how many he quoted. Sounds like a good investment. Dan

Road2rouen, I am concidering trying new shocks before I do anything else. I read about the Monroe 65 and it sounded good. You replaced just the rear shocks with Monroe 65's and noticed that much improvement? I think they make a replacment for my front shocks too on my freightliner. I had a...

Mountianman, I did a little checking on Liteflex and it seems they are more into the SUV Pickup and Vans than big trucks. I did not pursue it any further. Dan

You may want to try TKR, they are a Canadian company that runs both, but they have some trucks that run Canada only. Dan

Danny, Yes it sounds like your overhead expenses are going up, but it also sounds like positive investments, real estate and investing in your business with the new van. Money well spent. Good luck, Dan
