yeah, with a C, the same piece of freight unsecured has to travel through at least TWO pieces of aluminum sheathing which are at least 1/32 of an inch thick! Securement is the key and waaaaay too many vans have none. A simple solution in most vans would be etrack fastened or welded to the...

Just to be sure everyone knows this. The old type antifreeze (the green stuff) is toxic and can kill small animals. Im guessing humans too. What Phil suggests here is fine I'm sure, I've seen people do it and they didn't fall over dead. Just remember though, Phil said "a drop"...as in a single...

To your original question: A/C condenser will have refrigerant in it. (If you were loosing very much here, your a/c system would be needing charged) The charge air cooler is filled with air (side note: a leaking charge cooler is an invisible mpg loss) The radiator (and anything connected to...

Sounds like multiple carrier operations at their finest. Although, I doubt that PTL is a willing or known participant.

My suggestion? Clean it up as you go. I appreciate and respect the facilities John provides for us. I would rather clean up behind someone else now and then than to throw it in John's face on a regular basis that his efforts to make our lives easier are not being respected. The people you are...

For me, if I wanted to haul Sprinter loads, I would buy a Sprinter or sprinter-type van. The cost of the truck + the cost of the trailer will be more than you could buy the van for. On top of that, any combination of truck and trailer will use more fuel. The $1.50/mile is straight truck pay if...

What do I have to say here to get this thread locked and removed? :D

Ditto... I dont think you would find much marketability in expedite. You wont get the straight truck loads since your not dock high. I have known a couple guys that did pull the enclosed trailers like your talking about and claimed to do well. They were running hotshot stuff though, not...

Your gonna hurt your shoulder again.

You've done a great job with your TerraMax! I would love to tint my windows, I dont know the legalities from state to state is the only holdup for me. Tinted windows look great and function even better.

Huh? That would only be the team vans?

Hope you kids enjoy your trip!

Its a matter of what your looking for. A husband/wife team has options available to them in this industry...in a straight truck...that could likely double any income they will ever find in any kind of van....imo

probably not...unless the combined gvwr of the sprinter+the trailer is greater than 26,000 lbs. But...the combined gvwr will very likely be over 10,000 which would require logbooks.

Mid-Michigan is a great location for the carriers who do a lot of auto freight and it's at least a decent place for everyone else. With the right carrier, you could get home quite a bit being based where you are. The gross net income is the only place I see a definite flag. I think 60k would be...

I looked at the advertising stuff when the links were posted. It wasnt enough to get me interested, especially when you consider the fact that it would limit the # of carriers who would sign the truck on with the advertising. But, as pertains to the op's question, I doubt he cares who else...

sometimes ya just gotta slap your own back, huh? :D

My opinion. If dispatch calls me on a load, I assume they have their reasons. Unless there is an obvious oversight or mistake being made, I look at it for my situation only. I just feel that getting into who is closer and how many hours they have compared to mine, etc, etc is just confusing the...

that's a smart man right there!

Awwww....<sniff...sniff> ....that was so sweet of you guys...<wiping a tear>
