At 6'4" I really feel cramped in a standard cargo van. If I am not bumping my head; I'm falling over trying to put on my pants. But...I may have found a solution to satisfy some basic creature comforts. If it works out, I keep you up-to-date. Dave C. I did visit a Sprinter dealer right off...

I ordered another van because I have a buyer for my current one. Now I can't get the replacement van because the plant is idle due to this axle strike. I just love unions. :mad: Not! Maybe I'll fight for what is right and just by a Nissan chassis instead. Ah, yes...more grass growing up...

FedEx Landstar Panther Tri State Dynamex

Tri State pretty much got out of the auto freight business if that answers your question about dedicated runs. Lexington is a transfer point for Tri State. A straight truck should have no problem getting out of that area.

A Coveted Compliment Richard D Sandlin Oswald Chambers, describing his dear and respected friend, Duncan MacGregor, used just three words: “Character, character, character.” This is just about as high a compliment one can be paid, other than their love for God. Contrary to what some low...

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Express Extended 3500 with a 6.0L. Empty - 6064lbs GVWR - 9600lbs Load capacity - 3300lbs would be the maximum safe limit, but I would never carry much over 2000lbs. Fuel efficiency markedly begins to drop when hauling more than 2000lbs. On flat land I can pull...

Maybe comparative would be a better word, because.... SUBJECTIVE, a. Relating to the subject, as opposed to the object. Certainty--is distinguished into objective and subjective; objective, is when the proposition is certainly true of itself; and subjective, is when we are certain of...

Thank you Mr. Sullivan! Your post was very objective and to the point. Although math was not my best subject in school, I appreciate the definitive nature of its exactness.

NOTE: I do have this same post on the General Form. Some thought it might be better suited here, but I wanted to address some concerns regarding those who are currently owner/operators so I left it on the General Forum too. :D The state of cargo van expediting as I see it today. Do I like...

Ok, sorry OVM. You are only the second cargo van owner/operator that I have ever met that was financially successful without the benefit of additional retirement income. Make sense? Nuff said? Get the picture? And yes, without a doubt Terry and Rene do a fine job. I have picked Terry's brain...

The state of cargo van expediting as I see it today. Do I like what I do? Of course, I enjoy the business. Can you make a living as a cargo van owner/operator? It depends on your particular needs. Most of those who tout the positive aspects of cargo van expediting are folks who have a...

As with any new venture...there is a learning curve. Small to medium sized carriers seem somewhat more open to spending a little extra time getting a new O/O up to speed. Larger carriers seem to expect that anyone leased to them should already know the basics. Of course, that is not an...

Yes, in some states. I have a list on my laptop and I'll send it to you. One example comes to mind: Alabama expects you to scale and log, but considering the only scalehouse I have seen in Alabama is the one on I-20, it would seem unlikely they would enforce te rule. Of course, if you get...

Is There an “Emboldenment” Effect? Evidence from the Insurgency in Iraq Radha Iyengar Jonathan Monten February 2008 ABSTRACT Are insurgents affected by information on US casualty sensitivity? Using data on attacks and variation in access to international news across Iraqi provinces...

I finally had the opportunity to really look inside and outside of a Ford Extended Van. Note: I didn't say Extended Wheelbase, because they don't extend the wheelbase! So how do they build an extended cargo box? Well, they simply add more van body behind the rear wheels. The more I looked at...

Dear EO Members and Visitors, I certainly appreciate everyone's input regarding the legalities, but I never said anything about carrying a weapon in the truck. If you can offer information regarding your choice of "concealed carry" weapons, that would be a great help to me. If your lease...

These young ladies have the most beautiful harmony I have ever heard! What a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem. YouTube - The Cactus Cuties sing The National Anthem

Hopefully, we all gain a little discernment as we grow older. Probably why I shy away from those who gossip can be realized in this passage: Proverbs 17:4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. Listening to untruths serves no purpose and, yes...
