    ?s about Getting back to OTR Trucking after 10 year break

    Your post asks alot of questions, however, it also leaves unanswered questions. I of course do not know you, so, my questions (if I were able to ask them) would be... why did you stop driving after 3 years? Basically what caused you to take a 10 year break? What has changed in your...

    Looking to break away from company and become Owner/Operator.

    Before I ordered my van I priced used ones, they were almost as much as a new one (in some cases more) with half of their life gone and with alot less of the newer safety features. Personally I avoid used equipment because it's impossible to tell exactly what your getting. Yes, new vehicles can...

    Cargo Van So here I am after 28 year Starting a New Adventure.

    Thanks. My current plan is to initially lease on with a company and gain an understanding of the World of "Sprinter Vans"... while at the same time set up my own Authority. Basically breath and stretch a bit before I try to run in a race. My van is earmarked to be built by the end of August...

    Thanks for your input about DEF. It seems that since they came up with the bright idea of using "Processed Pig Urine" to improve Emissions There Has been a lot of problems. Expecially when it comes to idling and clogging up the system. The low RPM Idles can be detrimental to the system due to an...

    LDB LOL, it took a bit for me to figure out why you were wondering about the "Dock High" false floor... at first I was wondering why any driver with a Sprinter would do that.... then it came to me.. most 3500 have Dual wheels, however, I ordered this with Super Single rear wheels. They allow the...
