    I’ll leave that to the van experts. I never drove anything smaller than what you’re driving now. What I think we’ll hear is at FedEx to earn $3,000 per week in a van, if you stay out 6 months you’ll need 6 month’s off to catch up on your rest.

    Josh- seems like you have a good handle on things. I didn’t want to discourage you, just give people things to think about. To me the worse part of Expediting was the no income for down weeks. Much more problematic for a truck owner than a driver. I hope your wife enjoys cars too. If you can...

    They do this in Asian countries, will the J serve these?

    If you’ve eaten a lot at Flying J you’ve eaten a bug or two. It didn’t kill you.

    //// What are "reasonable" rates to charge ? ////

    Should we give you our customer lists and poc list ? Seriously, these are things you need to figure out yourself. Based on your costs and expected profit margin. If you get no business you’re probably too high. If you’re swamped you’re probably too low. Adjust as needed.

    Hey, Happy Thanksgiving everybody. If you hear fireworks hit the floor. We’ll rotate every 30 minutes watching the cars in the driveway. The grandkids won’t be here because my son won’t bring his family into this neighborhood. ** I’ll stand up all evening because I’m still uncomfortable since...

    Buy your own truck, make more money, be happier. Maybe, maybe not. Money isn’t everything. A lot of truckers let life bypass them in pursuit of money. In the end they look back, thinking I missed life just for money ? Few made enough money to justify the trade off. You’ve got to reach a...

    A few tax questions

    You have a driver in the van. Who gets the mileage deduction? The owner or the driver ? And at 80% of $63 per day for meals, I’ll be dammed if I’d settle for 1/2 a hotdog. I’d eat 80% of the dog. Approximately 11dogs covering a two week period.

    Another sign we don't have long

    Those cars need the system to shutdown without warning every few minutes to keep the human alert. Heck, we can’t get the average driver to stay alert. Why do we expect a driver that is expecting that he’ll do nothing to stay alert ?

    Moot, why isn’t your permanent fix like Danny’s permanent fix ? Could you have gotten a temporary permanent fix, designed to placate you until they have a larger supply of permanent fixes available ?

    Cargo Van Best Van to Buy

    In the earlier years was there 3 choices, MB, or Freightliner, or Dodge ? I honestly don’t know. Edit: Did some research: Wikipedia says MB, VW, Freightliner, or Dodge.

    Snowstorm of 2-4 inches ? 3-6 inches ? Sounds more like an inconvenience.

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    Cop pulls over a car. Driver allows him to search the vehicle. Cop says “Do you have any contraband or weapons I should know about ?” Driver says “ Well yes. I have a 45 in my shoulder holster, a glock in my waistband, a .380 in the glovebox, and an AR15 in the trunk.” The cop says “ Who are...

    It’s historically been 50/50 on the restrooms. If you went into a clean one, check fast, you’re probably in the Woman’s.

    They’re busy running a Football Team. Not doing a good job there, either.
