    Sprinter Survey

    I always got told 48 x 48 x 48 - 1000 lbs. Most are 40 x 48 and when you do automotive, the skids fit the parts (some are only 30x30 tubs others are the full 48 and very tall). I have one customer that the tubs are 24x30x24 and each weighs 1200 lbs!:eek:

    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    He doesn't lose....what competition does he have? A tunnel you cant drive trucks through, a ferry that doesn't run year round and another bridge a hundred miles away. Sounds a lot like a monopoly. As for him "winning", yes he has lots of money, talk to anyone who has worked for him or look into...

    Sprinter Survey

    Al, if the carrier you are considering does a lot of automotive freight you may appreciate the higher roof. Those plastic bins that have lightweight parts in them (like trim and upholstery) when they are double stacked are 64 inches tall I think. I don't haul too much auto but when I do I have...

    New Technology and FedEx Custom Critical

    Any word on how much new cabling is required or do the new pieces hook into the existing cables? I'm curious because I want to prepare for whatever it is the installers are going to have to do and avoid a repeat of the mess PJ's made when they put my unit in originally.

    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    It doesn't solve the fact that the current bridge has a deck that is falling apart and needs to be rebuilt, there is no reasonable alternative available for commercial traffic if half the bridge was shut down for such an event. It also does not solve the stupidity on the Windsor side that is...

    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    The new bridge will be north of Zug Island going into the Delray neighborhood (or whatever is left of it ). This is the area behind the Detroit Produce Terminal. The number of houses that are actually inhabited in there is very low and there is a lot of abandoned land. The biggest thing in use...

    Cold weather 2003 sprinter running poorly

    If you installed the air filter housing incorrectly you may have triggered the fault light and that could be the reason your engine is in limp mode or has low power. I would check that first.

    CAT 3126 Oil Leak - Front Timing Cover

    Full front cover re-seals on a CAT are a big job, and it is practically all labor. I'm surprised the front cover did not crack and need to be replaced.

    The snow stops just north of Detroit.... Transporter would do well to get a load west instead of dragging Piper east back thru the slop. I've had enough today. Free WiFi and you could plug in! No buffet tho...
