    Can you convert 10 speed auto-shift to a manual

    I really don't know Daylight from Dark about transmissions, BUT I would think a 2000 model would have a fair amount of computer wireing involved. Plus fly wheel, clutch disk, pressure plate, maybe bell housing problems. May not be room needed in the cab itself. Unless you do as we did as kids &...

    Bolt express is a freaking joke...ruining our business

    In regards to $1.10 per mile for a Cargo Van I would be suprised if there are very many O\O who would turn it down.;)

    more info on bolt

    Thought I might as well jump in. In States where Remodeling Contractors are licensed, the amount they are allowed up front is regulated. Most contractors are looking for the material cost up front so if they get stiffed at least the material should be paid for. As far as interest rates it's...

    Bolt express is a freaking joke...ruining our business

    "IF" Bolt Express is so difficult to be contracted to why are the clear majority of O\O who drive for Bolt posting positive comments?.:rolleyes:

    The Dreaded Black Conspiracy Helicopter

    This was not in a Truck Stop but a Cafe here in the Ozarks. Two other senior citizens & myself were sitting at a table when one asked "Bill did you hear what Obama is going to do?." "No" I replied. "When you get to a certain age, the government is going to put you down because they can't afford...

    need some feedback on ford vans

    First I'm not driving right now. I have a 1999 F 250 Super Duty & a 2002 E 350 Ext Cargo. Both Diesel. The Van only has 235,000 on it with one repair two tears ago. $289.00 I don't remember what for but most of the cost was labor. All I've done is oil, fuel & air filters. Gets 22 mpg @ 62-63 MPH...

    vans, where do you usually park??

    I am presently not driving. When I was the farther back the better. Find a corner where the big guys couldn't fit, weather permitting leave the back door open & the dogs could come & go as they pleased.

    when should you refuse a load?

    You say you have been where ever you are a "few hours" and your worried about dead heading home?. A little patience may be in order. You also should be able to contact your carrier and ask how often they get freight out of where ever you are. If there's not much there ask for the NEAREST...

    is bolt a joke

    It would seem to me it's not Bolt Express Freight rates, it's what the independent contractor will haul it for. If a contractor Say's I can not run my business for that rate. It's a business decision. The carrier will try and find someone who will. If not, I would think they would start to raise...

    E250 or E350

    I own a 1999 F250 Super Duty Diesel & a 2002 E 350 ext Cargo Van. Also Diesel. Neither one has a catalytic converter. They have to be State inspected every two years and I have yet to have someone say "where's the Converter?". As far as "Lugs" they are both 8 lugs, but the 350 studs & lugs are...

    New to the business

    Well, I would have to say more power to him. If he's got friends who will lend him a tractor whether it's a day cab or twin screw class 8 with a 53 ft box. He apparently was able to back it up & parallel park from reading a book.:D

    New to the business

    Two things please. #1 "Well, Good news. I went to the RMV and passed my CDL A test the first time around." Since he has passed the test, why go to school?. #2 Regarding the Trucking Co. in Iowa. I have a friend here in the Ozarks whose 21 year old grandson went to school and has been working...

    Pacific, Mo. Trucker Kidnapped, robbed

    Hopefully this is better late then never. The St Louis Post Dispatch reported in the August 12, 09 issue. A truck driver was robbed and kidnapped at the Pilot Travel Center in Pacfic, Mo. "The driver was outside his truck when a man ordered him to get inside. The driver's hands were then bound...

    gas vs diesel in a van

    I believe you will find numerous posts from different drivers on what their mileage is. I have a 2002 E 350 Diesel, gets around 22-24 mpg if I stay close to 62- 63 MPH.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Why can't this be accepted as the great "put on" it is and take your political views to the "Soap Box"
