Most companies limit their speeds up here already, it's more of an insurance thing. When I was at BLM we limited company and brokers to 68 MPH (one of my duties was to thwart out the electronic cheaters), at Ryder everything was at 65. The tanker company I was with (briefly) was 57. At Cargill...

J outside Buffalo. Likely DH home today as freight will be slim due to the holiday. Good internet here tho!!

Agreed, any communication is better than no communication. If the content is not to ones liking at least there is a chance for questions. It would be great if it was a webinar or if the calls were available for download, it would be great to hear the Q & A from all the calls.

That right there is an attitude that will likely lead to survival.

Fuel mileage improvements on a van are hit and miss, some get more MPG some don't. There seems to be a fairly strong sense that they improve handling and you don't get blown around as much, that's why I'm putting them on, my big Sprinter is like a sailboat.

The word "flurries" is in the forecast for Kitchener for Sunday, looks like the 2-4 will be an inside event:mad:. Beer tastes better outside in the sun.

Did his hang over the rear edge? I put the first one on and it hung out the back more than 1/4 inch with the front being right at the sealant goo at the seam.

Hanger bearings, carrier bearings, center bearings, guess it depends on where you're from. The bearing that holds sections of the driveshaft to the vehicle, you might have 1 or 2, small vehicles can have none. Usually mounted near the slip yoke.

While I can't claim the miles OVM has (congrats BTW), My only issues have been drive shaft hanger bearings (all under warranty). The driveshaft in my 08 will be replaced with a serviceable one once the warranty is gone and it acts up. I have learned from Turtle and Ken, follow the book, it will...

Thanks everyone. That Solar Guard roof is great stuff Phil, You might want to try the AirTabs that are made for Kemlite, the adhesive is different and will conform to a rough surface. The Kemlite versions have a blue colored backing. I agree about the flexibility, a little would be nice. Jack...

One of the best investments you can make if you want to be in this business. Good show and practically everyone is represented there. Also a great chance to talk to other drivers. Definitely worth the trip.

I went to install my AirTabs today and found out pretty quickly that my "big square" Sprinter is not so square. I was amazed at how rounded most of the panels were. I am wondering if anyone else has put AirTabs on a new Sprinter and specifically how they did the roof.

Has she been involved in past conference calls? I can't remember if I heard her on the last one or not.... I saw her at HQ but that was late January.

The secret to success......sounds like it.

When was your last load of of emergency freight to keep a Chinese production line going?

The worst part is....people will buy the China cars because they will be cheap. Look at how many folks on here have no problem buying Chinese tires.....how many loads does that contribute to the expedite/US economy?

Re: Whitewolf lawsuit Solutions to being unhappy, 1) Do you find your carrier to be a problem? If you answered YES, seek out another carrier. If you answered NO, carry on, you are having a bad day. 2) Do you believe ANY carrier will be a problem If you answered YES, seek...

I should point out you don't HAVE to get one of these licenses but, as a guy who makes his living crossing the border, anything I can do to make Uncle Sam's border guys happier is in my best interest. Thunder Bay would be a lovely drive this time of year Turtle, But as my mentor, your slow and...

Ontario has finally gotten it's head out of its butt and has come up with a drivers license that meets the requirements of the US WHTI. The license will cost extra and require you to go for an "interview". The interviews (for which you must make an appointment online for) are only being held...
