RE: Well, the cart is officially ahead of the hors Awesome looking cart! To be honest I didn't know if you were going to go for it, but I'm very glad you did and will be joining the ranks of the expediting world soon after you get the tractor stretched and built. Congratulations! I am a...

I'll give you what little I know:) The Ford powerstroke diesel is built for Ford by Navistar (International), and is AKA the Int T444. This engine has an excellent reputation and is considered one of the best out there for the diesel van and pickup applications. It's a parent bore V8 with an...

You should have no problems at all trump. Companies will like to see your past exp on the application. -Weave-

There are three major things I don't care for on the Sprinter. Again I'm not a van expediter, but if I were to consider one, these would be a factor. 1. The Sprinter engine is a small displacement car based diesel, out of the Mercedes E class cars. 2. The Sprinter has car style unitized...

That is IT! Where has it been all my life:7 That is a pure moneymaker if I ever saw one. I wonder if the "IVECO" sign on the air spoiler lights up? That would just be too cool! I'm putting my bid in, and nobody else better bid against me because I'm willing to go high: Maybe up to $1.50...

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso For teams that are going to rack up a lot of miles quickly, I highly recommend going the class 8 route from the beginning. I know Geo loves his Western Star, but I think it's a 120" cab, which are the most common. Your choices will be...

I have seen a few of these Aerocell based small trucks done up for U-Haul and Ryder. They are lebeled on the sides "Under 10,000 GVWR" so I guess that answers the question. -Weave-

RE: IH fan Is the fan metal or plastic? If it is the original 1987 metal fan, replace it with the new plastic one, the replacement will be plastic, they are now required by law. The rivited blades of the metal fan have become loose, which causes the chatter. They eventually break free and...

Headlights have been bound to the ignition of motorcycles by DOT regs in the USA since 1978, and are required for street cycles in all states and must be on at all times the bike is ridden on the street. The DRL requirement for cars and trucks was scrapped by the DOT in 2002 as the conclusion...

I've seen a bunch of expediter trucks on ebay. I don't think it's too smart an idea to buy any type of vehicle there sight unseen. I would not want to be contractually obligated to pay for something that someone described as decent that turns out to be a piece of garbage when picked up...

The only Iveco I know of to still exist does so behind the furniture factory where my mom works. It has been used as a storage trailer since its engine seized in 1987:o Perhaps it should go into the "Museum of Modern Mechanical Nightmares." -Weave-

Find a way to put a couple of pallets on the roof, and call it an expediter:D -Weave-

I owned a Hyundai car in the early 90's. Simple equation: Hyundai=Lemon. From what I read a few years ago Bering was started by an American guy who I think used to have something to do with Kenworth. The small trucks were American designed and then Hyundai built them under contract in Korea...

I'm not sure why you are having trouble uploading photos, it's really easy. You just choose the file off your computer where it says "attachment" under the text box, choose the file type and click "upload file." Nothing to it, and it should appear right away in your posting along with your...

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso I have not owned one, but have tested the KW T300, and the Pete 330 is about the same. They have received a lot of praise from their owners, which has gained these two essentially hopped-up class 7 trucks an exceptional reputation. If in good...

Guess you are right about Bering: http://www.fleetowner.com/ar/fleet_bering_shuts_down/index.htm My figuring is along with service/repair issues, the smart Asian truck makers relize they are going to have to spec the trucks with American components if they want to gain any real popularity here...

RE: What does everyone think of this as a back up Looks like it sold quick on e-bay. Probably not so much as a useable truck, but most likely had $4300 of resellable components if parted out. -Weave-

I have to do some refreshing on my knowledge of the global market. I did not know Iveco was Italian, but I do know they were bombs;) Have to say I only base what I post here mainly on applications to expedited trucking or local delivery trucks. I don't know the requirements of a car carrier...

I don't run a van, but I think the age-old answer to this question still safely applies to expediting as far as I see it, and would be the way to go for me if I bought a van- Gas= Chevy Diesel= Ford Sprinter= Dodge:) (Had to throw that in with no meaningful purpose) I totally agree with Tony to...
