The boat bumpers are a great idea! Heck, I may even start wearing those around my neck when I go out drinking! Safety first!

I've been "stalking" these board for well over a year, reading and asking a question here and there. I've compiled a big list of questions over that time and while most have been answered directly you will find that there really aren't direct answers to some. There are so many variables. I've...

Better yet, show up at the Expo in two weeks with a notepad full of questions and a lot of coffee.

The last time I parked in a casino parking lot they charged me 200 bucks. I had to go inside and keep cramming $20 bills into a machine till I was sick and tired, then went back to the van and slept, sure that it was all just a bad dream and when I woke up I would have all those 20s in my...

Congrats on the load and the anniversary and that looks to be one great rig which to enjoy the country!

Hey Turtle, what's the measurements between your e-track strips?

If you are currently laid off the govt. will pay for you to get a cdl at an approved school. I'm in Louisville, KY and these guys are as well. I've heard pretty good things about them. They rush you through the class but you would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't. Truck Driving...

Awesome explanation Turtle. Once again members step up with a clear and concise explanation for us Newbies!

If you get tired of loosing or winning money on the strip you can take a day trip up to Reno. There's also one that takes you around Lake Tahoe and to an old silver mine town. Go up in the Stratosphere at night to the observation deck. The lights are amazing. Day trip to Hoover Dam and Grand...

Thanks for all the input guys! I came across a deal today that I couldn't pass up. It's virtually the same van as I mentioned earlier but it's a 2005. I got it at a steal, over 4k less than the 2007 and 109k miles so I'll run it for awhile till I can save up for an extended or one of the...

Yea, I caught that but not till after I hit publish and now it won't let me edit the title of the post.

I've noticed a few posts regarding cargo van drivers being forced by the carrier to shut down after so many hours. Is this just if they have a cdl? If I'm running for a carrier that doesn't require me to have a cdl do they ever force you to "break" while on the road?

I'm looking at the stats right now: Gross Vehicle Wt rating= 8900 Curb weight= 5276 It's the 4.6 engine and 44Q transmission Wheelbase is 138 in. cargo area length @ floor to seat one is 121.4

I was wondering what your all's recommendations are for cargo vans. I'm looking at a 2007 E250 Super Duty right now. Being the Super Duty model it's rated to haul just under 2 tons. I would like to find an extended van but I'm just not having any luck finding one in good shape. Anyone else...

Even being a Super Duty? It's rated to haul nearly 2 ton. I can understand not going with the normal 250 as it's only rated for around 1 ton. I agree, I would like to find an extended but just haven't had any luck finding one in good shape yet.

Thanks everyone, I looked at a van today that may make this a moot point. It's a 2007 E-250 Super Duty with 90k on it. Very well maintained and new tires. I think I'm in love, lol! It's around $10k and that seems pretty well below the prices I'm seeing on the net.

Oh yea, and if you like the classics check out tvland.com for some sanford and son goodness!

Hey everyone, most of you all won't recognize my screen name as I'm a newbie poster but I've been studying up on here for over a year. Most everyone that I've asked questions of have went above and beyond to help me and and it's greatly appreciated. I'll be hitting the road within the next...

I understand the reasoning, but as I stated I have found some older vans with very low miles. For example, it would seem to me that a 2003 E350 with 40,000 miles would be in better shape than a 2007 E250 with 140,000 miles.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent carriers that will take on a cargo van that is more than 5 years old. I've been finding some great deals on older cargo vans with really low miles. It would seem to me that they would be more concerned about miles and condition of the van. For...
