    Conflict of Interest?

    As far as employees with trucks, that’s fine. My point was, employees in authority positions. Ones that could be the companies lower management, dispatchers, and fleet coordinators. This is where I believe the conflict of interest is. I have been talking with drivers from different companies and...

    Radiant Barrier in Truck Cab and Sleeper

    Yes I use that type of suction cup. But I put a small hole in the reflectix material, remove the hook and work the suction cup through the hole and reinstall the clip, (helps hold it in place). One on each conner. Same for the windsheild. I taped two strips of the reflectix material with...

    Conflict of Interest?

    Conflict of Interest? What are your thoughts with company employee(s) who are working in the home office of a company having trucks signed on. This may be a common practice but to me it could be a conflict of interest not to say it could show favoritism on who gets loaded. I saw one employee...

    Radiant Barrier in Truck Cab and Sleeper

    I put this inside my Sprinter and works great. I also did the windows and windsheild, using small suction cups to hold them in place when stopped. Steady You're not dead, you're electroencephalographically challenged.

    Sprinter Parts.

    I have found some web sites that have hard to find items for Sprinters. In an earlier post I said I could get oil filters for around $7.00. Sorry they must have raised the price or I goofed. Still cheaper than Freight Liner or Dodge. http://eurocampers.com/ Oil/Fuel Filters, much more...

    Laptops

    I have a Dell Lat. that sits on pass. seat in a docking station. DVD, GPS works great. The docking station gives it more of a stable situation than just letting it bounce on a stand. I have a small pillow under the docking station and straped in. I had this laptop for about 3 years now. I...

    sprinter vans

    I have a 2005 Sprinter and have had no problems. The EGR Value had a recall and in 2005 the problem is fixed. Throwaway motor??? Not sure about that. I sold Sprinters before coming into this biz. I spoke with Drivers and owners of Sprinters and everyone I spoke with at the dealership loved them...

That’s where the parents (Moderators), come in and deal out “tough love”. Then some say you love so in so more...

    Oh Boy what have I gotten myself into.....

    Thanks for all the positive thoughts! Just what I wanted to hear “been there done that….” Long way from being a Regional Financial Analyst, hated the job more times than liked it. It took 25 years to make my move into a new career. Oh, raceman- More to it than just clip clip pull pull on the...

    Correct miles on a cargo van

    In most cases' the seller has to disclose the mileage on the back of the title. If seller is a Dealership they have an odometer statement that by law both seller and buyer has to acknowledge. Of course the danger here are lies… Carfax will show a history of the mileage and will flag any...

Each month you can fill in the cost, revenue and it will tell you how much went to the bottom line. Then based on your actual numbers for prior months, you can forecast...

    can a desktop computer survive the road?

    I can say that my Dell works fine. Some older models, say the ones some folks use to work on years ago in another life, were weak in the case. Dell has out preformed my co-workers Gateway, ( two hard drives, simms and even his screen went out) Best thing to do is, get on the net and see what...
