    New idea for generator mounting

    I can think of 2 reasons why I personally wouldn't want it up there. 1st, no way I would want to fuel thing over my head on a regular basis like that (if your van is a std cargo van, I guess it would be more favorable) 2nd, fuel mileage.

    I realize that since you placed that info there, you are obviously aware of it. For me though, I had seen it before.....but long forgotten about it. I don't know how you access the forums, but 95% of the time or more these days I'm using my phone. When I am using my phone, it is set to pull up...

    stretching a class8

    A place in Dexter, MO quoted me $6,000 to stretch and double frame a FL Century...but that was in '05. They were going to build a complete new drive line if I remember correctly. That truck also had to have frame added before the stretch (not enough there to just slide the axles back). They were...

    A reminder guys

    That's likely about .0001"-.0002" (1 or 2 ten thousandths of an inch) tight. To get a visual of that, most notebook paper is around .003" (3 thousandths of an inch). So, that thermal dimensional change is roughly the same as 1/30th the thickness of a piece of ordinary paper.

    Any panther van teams?

    Those of you who are using p.o. boxes for your mail and living on the road....you need to double check that you are legally qualified for the per diem tax deductions. Those deductions are important and it"s my understanding that you have to prove a permament residence. Just a heads up for those...

    Hello 1st time poster from Cali

    Solo drivers do fine in expedite...east of the mississippi. There is expedite freight on the west coast for someone who wants to stay out there. Whether there is enough to keep you as busy as you would like is the question. Others could answer that better than I can. It will depend a lot on...

    The Arkansas Game and Fish put a few tiger muskie in a public fishing lake down here a few years ago. It is a great bass fishing lake. Those muskie made for some good "the one that got away" stories...lol. They've played with and then ripped the line out of a few bass reels...lol.

    Are drivers using the five keys to the Smith System

    One thing for the experienced drivers to think about. When I started driving a few years ago, I started out at Maverick in North Little Rock pulling flatbeds. In their orientation they told us how they were making the transition to training new drivers and why. They claimed that research shows...
