Looking to get out between those dates not going to make it this week back (the 140 broke down in Chicago, no crank no start hopefully starter fixes tomorrow or neg battery cable) in time to set up for Thursday or Friday. I was wondering if there will be loads that week or not? I suppose Chicago...

I currently have a Xantrex Prowatt 2000 and a Trojan 27-AGM Auxiliary Battery but I will be selling the sprinter that it is currently installed in and repurchasing these items or another brand similar. I was wondering if you guys had some thoughts on what works the best and is cost effective but...

Looking for a heater getting desperate and currently limiting myself to only California loads is probably not a good thing. Just saw these guys I suppose looking around the great lakes area is best place. WEBASTO ESPAR -AIRTRONIC heaters These guys here also install espar heaters and other...

I'm looking to remove a Espar from one van and install it into my 06 Sprinter to stay warm, does anyone know anyone who can do this on the cheap up in Michigan/Ohio/Virginia or surrounding states, suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!

It seems Cargo Van rates are .75 to .85 w/ surcharge for most carriers with other carriers paying .90-$1.00 a mile offering less miles per week. With average mileage guarantees by recruiters around 1000-1500 depending on carrier. Can someone chime in and give us something a little more of what...

Really have heard good things about bolt express these days, I heard the weekly fees can be cut to under $50 with the new smart phone tracking qual comm on its way out! Looking to get back in part/full time and run some loads coast to coast in my Sprinter 158. Any advice on carriers that have...

So I have a driver that is finally quitting with essentially only a couple days notice (enough for them to get their stuff dropped off at home and return the truck). I'm asking the driver politely to make sure that the miles from their house and back to where the truck is being dropped off at...

Driver/Owner... Dry Run ($50) Layovers ($75) Extra Dollars for deadhead, delivery in offbeat places (Bonus) Extra Weight (Bonus) Hand Swap ($25-75) Detention (by the hour) Bad Weather Bonus So as of last week, the driver is off strike and back working. The driver has get a...

http://www.andymohrtruckcenter.com/new_galleria.asp?veh=345301&CatDesc=Conventional%20Trucks Why is this truck so rare, I can't find one used. The VNL dominates the market. Does anyone know of a site that I can use to search nationwide Volvo dealers?? I think with the fuel economy and short...

Example Driver takes a run that pays for 120 miles but is 425 miles all in with deadhead and moving back to good freight area. Driver gets 150 bonus. Fleet owner ends up making $48. I don't think many fleet owners would want their trucks going 425 miles for $48, just doesn't seem worth it...

If I bought a truck i'd get a class 6 pete or KW or a volvo class 8. Cost keeps me looking at the class 6 trucks but the Volvo's I hear ride like Cadillac's :) Who knows I may just stick with the sprinter. If I go straight I'd use it for local freight and Uship but I want a sleeper so there is...

Was interested in buying a class 6 truck, probably just do local for now. One day I might want to add a 72" sleeper and run loads all over the West Coast and rest of US/Canada. Would a 18 or 20ft box be ok? Would a hazmat and a reefer allow me to run with a smaller box?

The driver wants the following. fleet owner to pay all truck fees minus $20 a week 100% of all bonuses (layover, hand swap, bonus for anything extra/additional that comes through qc) All empty moves and dead head miles paid 60% to driver 40% to fleet owner (driver pays fuel) Are these...

Any other carriers experiencing the same? Is cargo van/sprinter freight just down at a very low point. I'd imagine mid march it will pick up but I've never seen it this bad. 2 loads a day in Atlanta, we are having to limit the amount of miles that we can travel outside of these cities...

Correct me if I'm wrong. The set up I have is 60% to driver (driver pays fuel) 40% to owner. Driver gets 60% of settlement (check) plus 100% of the dead head and empty move. Anything that comes in such as a bonus, layer over, Canadian border cross is added to the check and split 60 to driver...

This Espar just keeps getting more expensive! Looking for two of these Or preferably one: sealed battery agm style 12 volt 100 amp deep cycle

The driver or the owner?

Just contacted Tom at ThermoKing. He is offering a Espar D2 for $895 shipped out of Ohio. Thermo King Sales & Service, Inc. Richfield, OH (800) 486-9670 Thought I'd pass this info along. About to order one today. He said if you buy 10 he can sell for $870 each shipped. I've called around...

Would this one work? Xantrex PROwatt SW 2000 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Inverter What is the best power inverter out there? Reliable and good quality. Not concerned about the price because I may just cancel the espar for another year and get a decent power inverter and some good insulation...
