From the info I gathered off the NYS DMV website, I shouldn't have to pay the sales tax, at least I hope I don't. As long as the OK title is in my name and same name will be on NY title, it there is no tranfer of ownership so thus no sale for sales tax to be imposed- I asked the agent to be...

IRP registration is kind of a pain anywhere, and each state requires different forms, proofs, etc. This agency I talked to should be able to take care of the situation for me, and I won't have to worry about it again. The first time around is always the hardest. Once I see how it gets done...

"Hummm.." In the words of Dean Wormer on Animal House "Out with it!" Flounder pukes:7 -Weave-

That's OK Whiterabbit- There are those who seek pleasure in others mistakes. In my nearly 900 EO postings I have posted many mistakes- I do it on purpose... I try to please everyone;-) Yes, Hazmat would require one being able to read a bit. I am thankful that government funded trucking...

I have never heard of an oral CDL hazmat endorcement test, but it could be?? Your state DMV will have a CDL book with the hazmat materials to study for the endorcement. Hazmat endorcement, in ALL states and provinces, only lasts 2 years. It is a federal requirement to renew your hazmat...

Yes, talk to a fleet owner first if you know one. They will know Con-Way's driver qualifications and would be able to set you up to run there. If you don't know a fleet owner, call Con-Way and ask if there are any who are hiring who live near you. -Weave-

I apologize to Brewster for sounding like a stink-bomb, but I don't want to be a pollyanna and color one's world sunshine yellow either. Even when things aren't what you want to hear, you have to find a way to move on regardless. Brewster stated "I haven't filed bankruptcy yet,..." He surely...

If any of you out there still have your trucks registered in OK, better read this- It is no more unless you live there or your company has an establishment there. I still see a lot of trucks with OK plates, and have a funny feeling a lot of guys are going to be crying in a couple of months when...

I have an OK base plate, and it looks like Fern Bennett has gone out of business as OK is no longer allowing trucks to be base plated there unless one has an established place of business there. I found a website, for Oklahoma Fleet Services that looks as though they are still in business and...

We weren't passing judgement on you whatsoever. But, you can go to many places online and check the status of your credit for a small fee if you are wondering if or why it's bad. Now, when the finance company came and took the truck, did they tell you all was well and good with the debt left...

RE: Boys.. toys.. etc.(BIKE PIC for WEAVE) The picture stirred up my memory- it was a similar bike to the Yamaha 650 Special. Your 2 into one exhaust is an aftermarket add-on, the original KZ750B had a Sankei chrome 2 into 2 with collector, much like this one for sale on e-bay now. The...

First off, Chicago is an excellent spot to expedite out of. $2k isn't going to get you into a straight truck with all the other expenses associated with one. It would be a good down payment on a new van though, so I would go that route to start. Talk to the expediting companies on this site...

Weave, also my handle, came from a night of heavy drinking with my best friend near Syracuse University about 12 years ago;-) The bar was having a contest that night to break the all time record sales of OV splits in one night. As my friend (Kevin) and I staggered to the bar, the bartender...

Since all legal radios put out the same 4 watts, the antenna really makes the radio. Invest in a decent antenna and cable setup over a fancy radio. I use a Cobra 25 NW WX ST, many times on sale for under $115 at many truckstops. It's a nice little radio with a lot of features without going...

If the actual GVWR rating of the vehicle is over 10k lbs, you will have to log regardless of what the unit is weighing in at loaded. Over 10k gross classes it as a commercial vehicle. -Weave-

Just about every brake drum I have seen on cars and trucks alike has a balancing weight attached to it on the outside. As the drum gets old and rusts up/deteriorates, the weight can fall off. Many driveshafts have balancing weights also where the same thing can happen. -Weave-

Just pray the van isn't a lemon. Sounds corny, but when a vehicle starts out with problems, they usually don't stop. The last Freightliner FL70 my father had was one- I don't think there was a single part on that truck he DIDN'T replace in the three years he owned it. About 10 years ago I...

I have to totally agree with Tony on this one. It does not look good when you default on a loan and $6400 on top of it. I feel for you, but unfortuneately lenders won't. -Weave-

Thare are many cubes out there outfitted like this, guy at C&M has a few, and they are under 10k gross. From what I remember he said they work just fine, but for some reason don't really make any more money than a standard cargo van. Just more comfort for the driver I guess. -Weave-

IF those stories are true, I hope the engines were under warranty. I would just LOVE to know what a replacement Sprinter engine costs. -Weave-
