Good post. Would this not seem a prelude for things to come? Just read about this, this morning. Funny how they set up the requirement for drivers, but the part which benefits the driver (not having to carry it physically) will not be implemented for another year. They also suggest when you go...

Unfortunately....many are finding themselves in this exact same position, having to weigh the family life, against income potential or career. Someone mentioned your spouse, and this is the person who would need to be very strong, if you decide to go OTR. JMHO Children are incredibly resilient...

It's gotta be tough duty sometimes, and time consuming. Relax, enjoy life, and thanks!

Ideally, yes. 2500 Model is 8600, less the 5500 (roughly), less my estimated 500 for supplies and me. Total estimated weight for DP would be roughly 2600. Now we get down to the gritty.....with no extension on back door, I can get by with the 2500 if it's the perfect vehicle, and we go with...

That's pretty dern close to what they told me on the phone. I remember the 1800 for the top, and 650 install. Had not asked about the extension. Thanks a bunch. You just saved me another phone call...as I had the info at home, but it'll be a while before I get there. Thanks!

No help with the 4.8 vs 6.0 gas engine? What I know is all I've heard, and that info is spotty. Some say the 6.0 gets the same mileage, with more power of course. Had a few cube people tell me they get 16-18 MPG with the 6.....while the 4.8 people say about the same, with no problem on the...

Huh? Go to any modern definition of conservative using a google search. It's quite amazing how they've changed the meaning into a political standing. To conserve used to mean possessing some thought process, prior to moving forward. Running low on water in the desert, getting low on food...

Typical Time speak. Couldn't get past the 4th question, due to the whole thing being a study in ambiguity. The so called right, has moved so far left...these hand picked questions do not really define anything. They've made conservative such a bad word, it's near impossible to define on...

Silly boy....there are 11 people in combat gear to deny that 10 yards. What are we going to do with you? Raise you up all over again? Ain't nobody got time for that...

Not sure who this refers to....but that's a good point. I do defend faith when it seems necessary, or something's not clear. To use soapbox to ram it down people's throats, or begin threads with the idea to make a point about religion (or anything else) is not a mission anyone should be on IMV...

Goodness OVM....and I was just beginning to like you. :) Just like tonight, I've finished my week of running, and staring out the winder at the Flying J, wondering what a normal life would be like again. The last thing I want to think about is regs, DOT, and HOS. Those subjects are covered...

Agreed. One makes the choice, and then expresses disdain over the content. (not referring to the OP at all, BTW) See it all the time. Beginning threads on the war in Vietnam every 2 days would have me a target, I'm sure. One ends up defending his/her stated position constantly.

Heck, I've traded keystroke punches with a few here. Don't dislike anyone....nor do I take it personally, but this debate has cooled things from the OP for now. LOL Would appreciate if they'd place my Spider Solitaire in here. Kinda like PIP....whereby I could switch screens while talking to my...

Kicks and grins is all it is to me, but do understand your point because political views will get people in trouble nowadays. They could take it out and I'd not skip one beat. Understanding why it would be removed, is also understood.

Exactly the point. Starting to convince myself of two things.....would purchase the extended back door model, only if already present, while buying the van and placing the high top, just for the head room, would be a must. Too old and beat up for the acrobat job in a regular van with standard...

Wow. Not been a member for two years, so couldn't confirm or deny any of this, but it seems a good place for one to post their views? There have been times where discussion's go totally against everything I believe in......yet have been afforded the platform to offer an alternate viewpoint, or...

Match you with another driver? Had a ST owner tell me that to....and went through 3 of these matches. Think your doing the right thing in running from that, as far as you can run. Choosing your own partner, might be another thing.....JMHO. Don't make quite the money as a driver in a van, but...

Was checking on that very thing when DP called on Friday. Without anything definite yet, it almost appears this needs to be done on the new vans. Two people have stated doing it after the fact, can be quite pricey.

double post. my first! can someone delete?

Moot has a good point on the high side opening being 48". If that's a taper? I'd measure height until I reached the 50" mark (wide) and place that as the cargo width allowance. Love those loads whereby it's 48 inch pallet, but hanging 2" off both sides. Got a quote coming from CA on Monday or...
