NN, how was orientation ?

Why would you want to do this ?

It’s possible. As a hobby, part time. As a business, no. Some guys can’t profit with a Sprinter leased to a carrier.

I would expect the carrier to return the 145 lb crate at his expense, unless the shipper would allow us to deliver somewhere that could benefit some of us involved. Not only would I expect the 145 lbs returned, I’d say apologies were in order. The weird part for me is why you’re loading these...

It’s a catch 22. We want the unscrupulous to be caught, but don’t watch us Honest folks. Kind of similar to the ELD argument. I always ran legal, but can’t function on an ELD.

Every time a shipper or broker gets 3500/4000 into a van, the closer it gets to being the norm. Seriously, how often do people get caught ? They should, they don’t. Right now there’s enough freight for everyone. My fear would be the next slowdown. Who’ll get loaded then ?

I can see brokers selling a straight truck load and trying to get a Sprinter to take it for a few cents extra over a Sprinter rate. Cha Ching !!!! The line between a van and a straight is only blurred by 4-6 pallet Sprinters.

Right before I retired I bought a tool to detect noises. An electronic stethoscope of sorts. You put on headphones wand point it around looking for air leaks, etc. maybe called a Whistler ? Less than $200 at Zoro.com under instruments I believe. I bought it to detect inaudible air leaks. UTube...

Only to Mr 3000 is 450 miles a shorty.

You can put Detroit filters in it. You can even paint it green. It’ll never run like a Detroit.

It’s a great place to get freight out of. If you’re lucky /good. Is it easy to get freight out of ? That’s another question...

If I had one a few years old, I might attempt to be proactive at my next windshield change. Have time and do it at/near a suitable body shop. A stitch in time saves nine.

2018. You shouldn’t smell the chemical plants. Might not be a bad idea to walk to work at one.

Are you by any chance related to WOM ?

Just how OLD are You ??

I would think secure, away from sparks, where it can’t move or be struck by something that would cause a leak would be good. I’d feel better mounted fully enclosed somewhere. Easy to put in a belly box since you are in a straight truck. And regardless if legal or not, it may cause concern if...

Thank God standing water is never a problem around Houston.

I wonder if this bird modeled for the front end of Navistar’s Lone Star Truck ?

My assumption is Uber makes sure they’re properly insured. Uber has more at stake than some bozo with a handful of cubes and inadequate insurance. Really surprised the industry allows me to do for hire stuff on my normal insurance policy. Not me, but your typical Uber driver.
