Honestly? I gave up....I've sent very few. I did have some wait time a couple of weeks ago and response was good when I gave updates...etc. Absolutely NO issues of any kind this week! :D

Happy Birthday ya old codger! :D

Hopefully somewhere that he can't.... or won't.... reply.

Happy Birthday to our globe trotting friend!

I was being just a little bit facetious :D Subzero wants to collect the money but he seems to not understand the "doing the deed" part. Since he has now told us he runs his own authority, that makes him look even worse. He bears even more responsibility to get the load delivered as a carrier...

exactly.... and if I understand it right, he was on I-77. Im not aware of any places on that road that I would want to do a hand transfer on the side of the interstate. Im guessing that the truck had to be towed to a shop? Why not do that and do the transfer there....or stop and do the transfer...

Hope that comes through. If it does, that is the chasis they should have been using all along.

I will back up what he said. Every single time that I have been DOT'd at the scales I have recieved a substantial amount of points in the rewards program, John Elliot himself hand delivered a huge...I mean HUGE pizza to my van and washed and waxed the van while I ate my pizza and took a nap! You...

Agreed......

I, personally, encourage everyone (except those leased to the same carrier as me) to adopt subzero's attitude and philosophy.

What is the gvwr on your van? What length of load space do you have? It seems like they would have just used a van like yours and extended the roof...maybe extend the length if thats what they are doing. Im not sure that add on to the length would work out so well though. I would definitely want...

Hazmat's Ford terramax (same as the ultramax just on a Ford chasis) weighed in at 6775 lbs before he started working on it. Yeah, 7,000 lbs is heavy, but it still has 3,200 lbs of payload before hitting the 10,000 lb gvwr. Compared to a Sprinter with an 8,550 gvwr...Im betting the payload is...

No doubt that their website is a confusing mess. I did stop there and look at their UltraMax vans last year and found Tom Meeks to be courteous and professional. If your in the Nashville area, I would suggest a trip to meet them in person. Purgoose, if it's not a stretch...please explain the...

Definitely confusing and I don't think anyone has actually seen one in person yet. I agree that the picures dont look like a 159" wb to me either. I give the design and appearance high marks if they have the specs right.

thats a point I agree with 100%. There is a lot of money being drained off by middle men.

surprised you didnt kidnap him long enough for the shop to get a blue stripe and some logos on his truck :D

I have not seen these units in person, but I have looked that spec sheet over a lot. I believe the unit to be on a 139" wheelbase that has been stretched to 159". I see no other explanation for the term "139 inch conversion". I also believe from looking at the picures and the description that it...

Thanks again everybody. They pushed the procedure back a few hours today and didnt get dad in until 4pm instead of the 10am that was planned. He got 1 stint and they said everything else looked great. Because of it being later in the day, they are keeping him tonight and probably home tomorrow.

Thanks everybody for the well wishes. I think he is going to be in good shape. But....since my qualifications consist of driving a van...we're waiting for the doctor's opinion :) He's in a "heart" hospital with specialists, so we know he has the best available.

At home...was near Indy Friday and debating coming home when I got a call that my dad was in the hospital. He had a stroke in his sleep wednesday night/thursday morning. You can't tell it by talking to him or looking at him though. Seems healthy as ever. They're supposed to do whatever it is...
