IDK but I SERIOUSLY doubt it on the hazmat. Wiser ones please chip in!

There must be demons afoot out there; I got desperate enough to bid .80 on a run from Conyers, GA to Alexandria, VA and DID NOT get it. That is patently ridiculous :mad:

I am actually the wrong guy to ask about box trucks of any kind, although I stand behind my answer above. I'm a vanner and most likely always will be, as I cannot get a medical card. That said, a 2500 Sprinter would be a better choice than a 3500, although I know squat about either of them. How...

Between the two? The box truck. That sprinter, at 9990 GVW, would be a dually, which means you'd never get a skid between the wheel wells. Another issue, since you'll be stopped at the scales anyway: if you're out overnight (one night or 100, makes no difference), you will need to either put in...

I don't think they offer coverage for vanners, unless they've changed their tune since 2011.

Adjusting to what? 75 cents?

One today, no joy. Moved to Temple, GA. Company has two days to get me out of Atlanta, otherwise I'll hafta slink home and figure out wtf to do next.

Biker must be a ninja :o

Still in 'Bama. Two calls yesterday, couldn't set the hook. Hadda leave the J because it's a dead spot for my phone. It rang, was my carrier, but I couldn't hear anyone on the other end. Missed a run :mad: Meanwhile, here in Birmingham, an African American preacher wants to go to Ferguson, MO...

No runs for two weeks. Today, a shortie to Birmingham, AL. Waved at Scott & 'Retta as I passed Decatur :)

One of the businesses destroyed was a QT convenience store. I wonder in how much of a hurry QT will be to rebuild it :rolleyes:

No genny here, and my passenger seat is still in, by order of the Queen :) . We are discussing the possibility of teaming, so it'll be in for a little while yet.

Nice. Get some sleep then rock it :)

5450? Tires filled with helium? That's not a lot of stuff, good deal on that. Mine weighs 6220, full tank, stuff, etc. I am a bit fluffy, but not too awful bad :p

Yours is what, a '13? Four speeds or 5? Tire pressure is another biggie: try 65 up front and 75 or 80 in the back. Also, mind your weight, whether it's your own or how much stuff you're schlepping around. Toys like an Xbox, etc add pounds you pay to haul whether you're making money or not.

Mine's a 4.6. If yours is a 5.4, you might lose one mpg. Also, drive defensively (especially looking far ahead) so that you're not always on the brakes; also, it might help to shift gears a little bit so that you can stay off your brakes. Lastly, cruise control. Great when it's flat, but in...

Just for fun

IIRC, KickStarter is young, so that would make a difference.

The 50¢ run? Noob mistake, born of desperation. Nogales? There was a FedEx van there already (talked to her), and my dispatch told me Nogales was pretty dead for them. In all seriousness, isn't the border better for Sprinters than flattops anyway?
