    July in the land of Load One

    In the beginning the info for the flights here in the US was delayed by 5 min. But later on that went away. The info coming down from the planes' transponders is not encrypted in any way, so anybody can have access to it with a small receiver. To be honest, if a terrorist wants to blow up a...

    July in the land of Load One

    Oh, thank you. Came over about 2 months ago. As for the Sprinter, it is parked at the house. I get to drive it once in a while to go to the dump, or something similar. It has become my new pickup truck.

    July in the land of Load One

    If you go to flightradar24.com you can see a lot more info about the flight, like the actual location, altitude, speed, etc, what kind of plane, registration number, even pictures of the actual aircraft.

    Cargo Van New GM entry

    Need to wash those wheels once in a while. :JC-LOL: Seriously, mine were dusty all the time. I changed the front ones first at about 325k miles, could have gone some more, but I thought they had enough. Rear ones loooong after that.

    Trying to find insurance for my cargo van. Can anyone help me please!!!!

    It also depends where you live. I got a quote when I lived in GA, then I moved to TN and here it is significantly cheaper, all else remained the same. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    Back in my FedEx Custom Critical days I did a fair share of them HazMat loads. If my memory still serves me, it wasn't double, but a good chunk more than regular loads. But of course all that changed when we went to flat rate.

    When FedEx took over Kinkos they renamed them FedEx Office. People even to this day calls it Kinkos. I bet FedEx would love to see that name gone, but old habits die hard. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    I would have looked for new options before quitting. But that is just me. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Fuel for Thought Eureka !

    I just watched a documentary discussing among other things the Shanghai Maglev Train that connects the airport to the city. They have 2 tracks, well, not really tracks, but magnetic levitation lines that run parallel to each other and 2 trains. Both leave from the opposite ends speeding towards...

    Cargo Van Need a good company for local work. Atlanta area

    DTH used to have plenty one-way freight a few years back. Pay wasn't great, but every day or two you were home.

    Yet another Detour

    If I were to avoid a state just because of the roads conditions, I would have to avoid half the country.

    Trump: Chalk and Awe (Free Speech on Campus)

    Well, why simplify the complicated? Even with a schmeckl today I feel like a woman so I'm going to use the women's room. The fact that a gorgeous young woman just walked in there has nothing to do with it. [emoji30] [emoji37] [emoji33] Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    They call it a Tour Band Van But It Looks Like An Expediter...

    Wanna-be band driving around in a sprinter, just like wanna-be truckers driving around in sprinters. Hehe.

    Cargo Van Sprinter 05

    When mine was shutting down I attached a fuel gauge right after the fuel filter. The low fuel pressure should be around 55-60 psi. I took it for a spin, stepped on it and the engine shut down but the low pressure never dropped below 55 psi. This is a sure way to test your in-tank fuel pump and...

    Cargo Van Sprinter 05

    No. Cause you are not cranking it, you are basically just resetting the ecu. At this point the engine will be freewheeling and the instant you turn the key back on it will fire up and run. I believe this won't happen under a certain mph, but I don't know what this speed is. Sent from my...

    Just some sprinter observations

    It fools the ecu that it has a functioning egr, when in fact it doesn't. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
