    No really I have insurance coverage???

    I looks like insurance problems are not associated only with expediting. I read that Amtrak has a cap on liability of only $200M and was voted in so they could get affordable insurance. It looks like this accident will cost more than that, so some people will not get paid. But I am sure the...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    In my opinion, the mighty Dollar speaks louder than common sense. I bet lots of brokers choose to close their eyes, hope for the best and pocket an extra $50 or more on every load. If they stop giving loads to the companies that are running without proper insurance the rate might go up, so less...

    April "Rabbit rabbit rabbit"

    Mine started making a squeaky noise once in a while. I suspected that at least one universal joint went bad since I had the same thing happen on a pickup truck a few years ago. When I removed the driveshaft to inspect it, the rear u-joint felt like it had sand in it when moving from side to...

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    This winter I wish my Sprinter was 4x4. I was stuck at home for 1.5 weeks because of snow and ice with the main road half a mile away being clear. Eventually I had to get a friend with a 4x4 to pull me out. I would still not buy a 4x4. The price of one and the reduced fuel mileage is not worth...

    RC planes, trains and automobiles.

    Haven't gotten into real quads yet. I'm saying real quads cause I have a small quad that I bought for $35, flies amazingly well. I fly mostly planes, but i take out a Blade CX2 once in a while, or a T-Rex 450.

    Today I just passed 700k on my 2004 Sprinter. Original engine and transmission. Other than the wearables I only replaced the driveshaft and the egr valve once.

    Do not discount the possibility of the fuel filter to be clogged, even though it was changed recently. All it takes is a bad batch of fuel to clog it up. Have a filter with you and replace it if it does it again.

    Missed dispatch phone calls

    In the sticks where I live I can't get dsl without the landline phone service. It is only $14 a month though. Cable? What is cable?

    Who does their own maintenance, and how in depth do you go with it?

    I am not driving a truck, only a lowly sprinter, but i do all the work on it, from oil changes, to water pumps, to leaky injector, etc. I decided a long time ago that I can't trust the work of some/most mechanics out there. I took my van in a couple of times under waranty for different things...

    Sprinter questions

    I saw that. Unfortunately, those 140 extra lbs make this sprinter useless for us expediters.
