I remember clearly being told that you were expected to be moving within 15 minutes if the pickup time required it. Even if I am at home my stuff is packed in the truck ready to go so the only thing I need to do is perhaps have a quick shower and be gone. If I decide to be at home and in...

If you try the SilverStar Ultra's they have a 12 month warranty. My Sprinter EATS headlights so I bought a set of these (well actually 2). When they burn out, pop in the spare, take the burnt one to any store, get a replacement which is now your new spare. Your headlight costs for the year are...

I chose FedEx. While they are "big corporate", it also means everything is in writing, the dispatchers have rules to follow as well so they behave pretty much the same every day, everyone treats you with respect, pay is on time and always correct, what I get paid is all upfront so I always know...

Used this stuff, tested it for a month.....not impressed. No boost in mileage or power. My mileage actually went down 1 tenth over the test. I ran the test in September before the winter fuel started to appear so I believe it to be valid. I also find it odd that 2 jugs of the stuff can be very...

Newbie + used Sprinter (any year) = likely disaster. Sprinters need to be owned from new by people who can be meticulous about vehicle care and have cash reserves for repairs. I would be hesitant even then to recommend a Sprinter.

Ashtabula J. Got out of Montreal decently....and got offered a load to turn around and head back for Monday morning that had all the right number$. Guess I better re-load that french translator back into my BlackBerry.

One thing about the FAST card...more and more companies are using this as a cheap (read driver pays) way of doing a personal background check. In most circles a FAST check is good enough for due diligence as far as a background check is concerned. It is almost a universal standard up here in...

We also do silly things like spell "wit" with an H on the end and "mispelling" with two "S's":p

The "turns over three times and stops while you hold the key in start" thing bothers me. A timing chain might have caused the set of circumstances you described but the whole cranking it while it is hitting things (and locking up) means further damage is being done. A rebuild is in order, but...

Stupid things piper has said.. "Montreal....and it has a $75 bonus......I'll take it!!!" Bonjour from La Belle Provance!!

Montreal at the J. Honestly, this is the LAST time I am going to take a load here if I don't get out quick:rolleyes:.

My truck gets better fuel mileage above 70mph.

Sitting near the border, waiting on Livingston....AGAIN!!! Told them to set the load up for a 10 pm cross....now 12:21....still not done. I wish it was up to the carrier who the broker was....Livingston must be cheap because they stink, I don't know why anyone would use them otherwise.

A wise expedite elder once told me "you ain't part of the club until you been to Laredo or Bordentown" Well, I'm in Bordentown......glad I didn't get into this business for a place like this. Right now I'm trying to decide if what I'm watching across the lot would be prosecuted by the DEA or...

The rumble strip noise is not totally eliminated but is much improved over the 5cyl. I notice it when you are coasting down on an off ramp and you lightly graze the accelerator to get you thru the corner or uphill a bit. If you give it a bit more fuel it downshifts and the noise is gone. It does...

Heading to Syracuse, unfortunately my right turn signal is broken so I will not be able to make the right turn into the Petro in Waterloo NY. Everybody was Kung Fu fighting dada da da

It's all well and good to say "just ignore it" but Leo is right. A lot of us are just not that jaded and cynical of our fellow man. Call me naive or wet behind the ears but I for one don't want to get to a point where I assume everything is some BS game. If you have to get to that point, why...

Even a paid membership for $1 that you need to use a credit card to pay for, that way there is something with real identity that EO could use to prevent multiple screen names from the same person. Does software like that exist?

Disgusting...absolutely disgusting. I stop off on my trip to log in to see.......and I see the events of this morning revealed to be an unbelievably tasteless stunt. At first look at the post did I think it was real, yes I did. Does that infer somehow that I think certain things about...

Unless the economy improves substantially your expectations will be very hard to achieve without running your butt off. Beware of anyone who tells you different. Those ads in the Star and Sun are SCAMS!! Beware!
