I think Bob did a smart thing! Last time I had to deal with chafing, I used Desitin on it; the baby girl I applied it to goes to college in 3 weeks. Where does the time go? :confused:

If I'm in it, this'll be the theme song: YouTube - ‪Baby Elephant Walk‬‏

I watch IRT & love it. Lisa explained the hair color change as "I was tired of being seen as a dumb, helpless blonde"; she believes she'll be taken more seriously as a trucker if she doesn't look so ditzy. IMHO she is improving, skillwise; Carey (the African American guy) seems to think so too...

Paid Brightbill a visit today. It would seem that paratransit vans today are built like "short buses" because a DRW cutaway is a safer foundation to build such a vehicle on, rather than the old 15-passenger vans; those vans have been involved in some nasty wrecks over the years. They told me...

Oh OK, you're right. But I wonder what his mother-in-law was thinking when she named her daughter "Jujubeans" ? :D Just the same, I don't mind if OVM spells funny, as long as he doesn't smell funny :eek: :D

Better hustle. I bet his law license gets revoked before he goes to Joliet. From a member of the Bar to holding them in his hands :D

Turtles Force Runway Closing at J.F.K. Airport - NYTimes.com YouTube - ‪Terrapin Station - The Complete Song - Studio version - Grateful Dead‬‏ Looks like the Shelled One and his family have been playing in the sand again :D

Spent the late 90's on new home construction, as a mason's helper. I believe it will be a long time before new home construction reaches the levels it did before the crisis hit. A LONNNG time.

Question is, what kind of mileage does an SRW cube get? All the rental trucks I've driven have been DRW, and if you get 11 or 12 in one of those, it's a happy day. :rolleyes:

I may be mistaken, but isn't OVM's given name Ken?

Greg, yours is the "Common Sense" answer. The "Lawyer" answer may be completely different :rolleyes: As for me, it's a "next van" issue; if they'll put a topper on a pre-owned van, that will allow me to find a nice '09 or so to do it with, instead of having to buy a brand new '12. Might save a...

I thought about that too. Right now, I believe Penske is selling 2006 or '07 SRW cubes, 12' by 80", but their GVWs are 8600 lbs. By the time you kit it out, it would weigh over 6500 lbs, so not much available payload. Hopefully soon, SRWs will be available @ 9600; if you're careful, you could...

http://www.expeditersonline.com/classifieds/category/208/Cargo-Vans/listings/11582/2008-ford-e-350-HCV.html Looks like the whole thing is going for $34k. Sorry you have to sell, Jack :( If only I could afford it....

Greg: Any van? I figured they'd be leery of putting a roof on a van that could possibly have been hit. I could be wrong... Paul: will do :)

Thanks for answering :) Just for the heck of it, I might call Brightbill in Lebanon, PA. They sell paratransit vans, school buses, etc., so they'd know how much a raised roof would cost.

Some of us have no choice but to use cargo vans....

We'll know Phil's truck when we see the bumper sticker on the rear door wot says "Your Loss, FedEx" :D :D :D

Lisa, I assume your van has door extensions? If so, how high? Did you buy the van new and have the raised roof installed, or did you get it with the roof on it already? (Nosey, ain't I?) Jack, how much was the HCV over and above the cost of the van? FWIW, I'm pretty sure most upfitters...

Shows you what a "truckstop lawyer" knows; Chapter 13 is for personal reorganization, Chapter 11 is for businesses. Besides, truckstops are right up there with high schools as places where rumors spread like wildfire....

We tie a rope to the mower and stand on the flat area at the top of the hill, lowering the mower then pulling it up to do the next pass. Gotta watch your feets though! :eek: :D
