    Fort Wayne

    Well I made it out of Fort Wayne, I dead headed up to Niles, MI and delivered in Waterloo, IA. I am first here but I doubt that will be a benefit.

    Fort Wayne

    I am with one of the companies you mentioned that had been here awhile, but I am third out so I guess I will see what happens or try to find my own which I have to wait 24 hours to do. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    International 4400 won't start right away?

    It sounds like it is the starter solenoid which usually means you are replacing the starter as well since they come as one unit the majority of the time. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    EO saved me over $1100

    You may be running into the same bumps I was where the clerks aren't really sure of what is required but they take a guess and hope it works. Even the supervisor that came out and tried to prove I was lying tried to tell me that paperwork was filled out incorrectly which I had to explain and go...

    EO saved me over $1100

    In NY the exemption form I believe is DTF-802 or 803, there is no weight restrictions for it and it has the exemption for carrying passengers or freight. The DMV was able to confirm I was correct after awhile, I guess other states it is easier to deal with because they don't have the extra hoops...

    California want to force hotels to use fitted sheets

    It is probably for some of the same reasoning MA and TN require trucks to have fitted sheets in the sleeper. It is just so they have one more law to go in and search through things without needing a warrant.

    Fort Wayne

    Is Fort Wayne traditionally a good area for a CV? I deadheaded out of Toledo to Woodburn, IN and am not sure if I should continue on to Indy or stay put?

    EO saved me over $1100

    I wish I would have remembered more about the post so I could pull up the original but I just figured there was no chance NY would have anything like it.

    Anyone ever use Transforce AT tires instead of HT's?

    When you use an all terrain tire you usually have a little bit of a decrease in mpg because of the rolling resistance due to the tread depth and pattern. Any loss of mpg due to tread depth will obviously disappear as the tires wear a little.

    OK, I guess i will put in 2 batteries which should give me 200 amps at least and be enough for what I will be using them for.

    Weight vs Comfort

    Well I guess if 8-10 is not far enough off the floor the 3-4 inches I was planning on will be an issue. I found an old thread where it was suggested not to use a hammock.

    Defund NPR Topic From Another Thread

    Re: We want your input on a radio show on truckers. I agree with the rest of the comments so far and would like to see legal experts attack politicians on the show about why they feel the need to interfer and trample on driver's rights. Why do they feel the need to regulate the industry and...

    Higher Down Payments

    I know you had used the term trucks but as far as getting a van which I just purchased I had a lower down payment than expected. I got the loan through Wells Fargo and they tried to give me more than what the guy I was working with requested for the loan. My wife's credit score and mine are both...

    EO saved me over $1100

    I cannot find the post I originally got the information from but it was about being sales tax exempt when purchasing a vehicle for interstate commerce. I live in NY and went into the DMV to search through the forms to see if NY was one of the states that would allow this which I didn't think it...

    Weight vs Comfort

    I am planning to leave the rubber mat in place then put Reflectix over that and then of course a plywood floor. I think it will work for the summer and fall but I was thinking for the winter I will build a low platform and then put some foamboard insulation in it.

    Cargo insurance

    I went through CIS that advertises on here because they were the cheapest. The insurance is provided by Progressive which when I got a quote through Progressive themselves I was given a price that was much more.

    Bigger Alternator

    I was thinking it will get the batteries charged faster so if I am sitting and running a couple of things from the power points it will require less idling.
