Run, Forrest, run the other way. If you want your phone to ring, go to Verizon. Not cheap, for sure, but when I see full bars in North Dakota, I know who has good coverage.

Oh, now, don't let 900 years of on-and-off war spoil France for ya :p I got New Zealand; I think I'd actually prefer Germany.

I would give her the 14 years for the lesser included offense; it's enough to send a message. I'm impressed by the wife being willing to forgive her.

Still, though, read up. There's a lot to learn, especially about choosing your vehicle.

Starvan, I'll give you one answer if you promise to research the others. #4: yes. Now, read this forum thoroughly, going back about two years. You don't have to read every topic, just the relevant ones. Do be advised, however, that there is currently an overabundance of vans.

Today's Tuesday, Z. You must be keeping busy if you lose track of the calendar :)

I will likely retire the way my great grandfather did: Drop dead at work. I see no alternative right now.

I do. $38. If they screw up, there's a national corporation who will back their work. There are also Ford dealers everywhere.

Nah, he was just giving me back my raspberry, since I drive one of Henry's misguided children ;)

Wasn't the correct part, was it? Didn't wait six weeks for it to come from Germany, didja? Your breakdown is Daimler Karma :rolleyes: . Good luck; hope you get moving soon :)

Came home two weeks ago to fix my van's front end. Stayed in service between 6/21 and 6/30; six bids, no runs. Now OOS to take care of personal issues. You WILL have slow times, especially in a van. :(

The Expo is in Wilmington, Ohio, the 25th & 26th of this month (Halfway between Columbus and Cincinnati). It really is an excellent learning experience. Go to expediteexpo.com for more details. Courier work is hard work for low pay; it's usually done with cheap vans that suck up money...

The tinworm is a horrible beast. Killed several of my favorite vehicles over the years, including my beloved 1994 E250. That van had 307K on it when I got rid of it. The engine (a 351) ran like a Swiss watch, as did the transmission. Buyer junked it after pulling the drivetrain for a racing...

Majid, read post #7. MJM nailed it as far as courier work is concerned. It got to the point where my wife showed me on pen and paper, that I'd be money ahead to go back to McDonald's. Instead, I went back to my NYC route for a year, then started expediting. If you can make it to the Expo in...

Courier work usually doesn't pay well at all! I delivered pharma for Prestige in 2011. Made $110 per day; half of it went in the fuel tank.

I'll have to look at 69. As far as fueling in Missouri, I agree. I usually stop at the J in Charleston, exit 12 on I57; it's always cheaper than fueling in Illinois. I like Little Rock because Express does railroad work; I've had a couple good runs out of there.

Is there a specific reason to avoid Arkansas? Every trip I've taken to Laredo, I've gone through Ark.

Been home ever since. Phone rang maybe six times in 10 days. 341 meeting on the 14th, then I can run as hard as I want. For now, time to redd up the house; who knows how long we'll be able to stay in it? See y'all in two weeks.

"Thong Thursday" And people were shocked by the shorts Ken wore at the Expo?

Joe, you and I are in the exact same boat. Do stay tuned, though, because that three-year rule is under review. I will pray for you :)
