    need a PM from a Nations Express driver

    alright, no takers so I'll just ask the question. I'm new to nations and I don't know ......well...a lot. Nations policy is to pay out settlements on the 1st and 15th, if the 15th falls on a saturday do they pay fri, or mon? I know we didn't get payed yesterday and I tried calling the office but...

    Sleeper seatbelt

    OK, call me a whimp but the one thing I really miss, since moving to a Sprinter from the Century class straight truck, is the security of that net style 3 way belt thingy they had on the bed. The Sprinter has a smaller version of the sleeper installed by midway, but no belt on the bed of any...

    The Blackberry

    I got mine thru Verizon, it was on sale for 199.00 , it added about 60.00 a month to my phone bill (phone service added to existing account 10.00 , unlimited data service 50.00) when we bought it we were in the straight truck and burning a lot of fuel, using the Blackberry I can compare fuel...

    The Blackberry

    I don't know how many of you have tried them out, but these Blackberry's are an awsome tool for this business. I've saved enough money in fuel,just by using the addictive little crackberry to check prices,to justify the price. Plus I can keep up wit EO, sports scores, e-mails, do my banking, and...

    only crap loads the last 2 weeks with panther

    The only thing I read between these lines is paranoia, we weren't fed our miles with a spoon like some kind of honeymoon deal, we just kept moving on our own to places we knew we were more likely to get freight. We knew where to move because we aren't new to expediting, we're just new to the van...

    only crap loads the last 2 weeks with panther

    We will be at 3700 paid miles by the time we deliver in OK tomorrow night. thats a complete 7 day week, our first week in a van. We have moved ourself a few times and probably have about 800 miles of deadhead (on top of the 3700). But with the great mpg on the sprinter there's no reason to sit...

    idle stick?

    ok, now I'll respond to me (I may be Schizophrenic, but we'll always have myself) After the last few days I've learned that the new Sprinter's egr valve while improved , is still not good for extended idling, after overnight idling and then driving away the white smoke gets bad, then in our case...

    idle stick?

    In several past posts I've read concerning idling sprinters people said they got an "idle stick" at the J rather than pay for the high idle upgrade. What is this idle stick really? no one at the 2 J's I've checked has any clue so I'm guessing its a product meant to do something else but being...

    Idle question on new Sprinter

    I'm waiting impatiently for my spanking new Sprinter to return to the dealer from midway with the sleeper installed. I've been wrestleing with whether or not I am going to have the dealer slap the high idle feature on or not. The dealer (who stands to profit from me having it done) says that the...
