    3% back on Gas?

    I did not know about Diesel but that's a good thing. Thinking about using it with my two Vans, that could be substantial at the end of the year. How does it work? Do they just put it in your account?

    3% back on Gas?

    Are there any C/Van operators using the Bank America Debit card, where you get 3% back on Gas purchases? If you are, is it any good?

    Can the Presidency continue?

    It just goes to show you he cannot speak without someone telling him what to say. He's so far out of touch. He completely lost it yesterday. When the President can't talk about what his administration is doing and should do, that's bad.[ So if you want to expand your business next year you...

    Chain,Chain,Chain..

    Neon paint that's a great idea. Could have used that a few times. And yes a good pair of Carhart insulated coveralls. I used to drive with them on and the tops pulled down around my waist. When running the passes, you chain up going up and pull chains when you get down. I've gone through...

    Looking for a Broker

    Your not looking for a Broker. A broker brokers freight to company with authority and insurance. He's a middle man. It's your decision to take the load, your decision to DH home, not his. Since your in a C/Van 10k or less you don't need authority. You need insurance. Your looking for a...

    Chain,Chain,Chain..

    I spent 10 years chaining up in the Northwest mountains nightly sometimes several times a night while pulling joints, 2-3 trailers. 1.) Don't drive on dry pavement for extended periods, like more than a mile. 2.) Don't exceed 30mph. Best at about 25, chains last longer. 3.) Don't buy...

    I have 5gb with Verizon and I'm on it now with a laptop and a hotspot. If you don't use it with TV you will have plenty. I use about 3gb a month and I'm on it several hours a day.

    Oak Park, IL to ban eating, drinking behind the wheel?

    Before my folks died they lived in Westmont which is next to Oak Park. I spent the weekend with them several years ago and parked my (then) tractor in their driveway. Cops came in the middle of the night busted my drivers window out with a billy club and left me a parking ticket on my drivers...

    Jacking truck prices up.

    There is a shortage of used equipment in certain classes. Some models because they last longer and manufacturers are making less of that model. The expedited market for trucks is to small to make a difference in shortages or pricing. I might ad. Everything in the free market economy is...

    Need more truck advice.

    As with Moot I also do t he lifetime thing with wires and everyother part I can do it with. They used to do it with brakes but they stopped that ( at least here they did). As far as gears whenever you buy aftermarket kits for GM you will have a noise issue. The noise is nothing more than...

    We O/O's have to MAKE a profit

    No, to much fun. Then vanners spend to much time trying to figure out how to spell, (k)now what I'm sayin homey? Some people in real trucks would be shocked to see what some vanners gross annually.
