It is an '06 E350 6.0 turbo diesel which comes with an auxillary battery from the factory so I was thinking the charging system is large enough already that it wouldn't be a problem, but I hate to guess in an important situation like this.

Did they give you an idea of how many miles you will average?

Thank you sir, I will rethink putting a bunk in and just use your idea of the foam mattress pads which seems like an excellent way to keep weight down and keep space available for freight.

I was looking at the prices for an alternator and noticed there are 3 different versions a 110, 120, and 135 amp. Can I just put the 135 amp in place of the 110 without any changes?

How many pounds did you scale out at empty? 7000lbs? Did you build a bunk?

With the 1 ton you could probably haul 2 trucks so it looks like you will have a revenue increase as well even though the mpg's will take a hit.

I really don't have that much in there, no tv, air conditioner, or anything like that. I know the turbo diesel motors are heavier starting out and I will also be running with my wife so we will have more "stuff" than some.

That is actually my concern with the steel bumper, I figure they will just dent it up. I think the roll pan can get set back pretty far to avoid contact but doesn't mean they won't run the forks through it. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

The van has a GVWR of 9400lbs but has a diesel motor so it started off a little heavier than a gas engine. I was thinking about removing the rear bumper and putting a fiberglass roll pan in place and replacing the windows in the back with aluminium sheet metal. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I used to be a truck driver and 500lbs meant little before but when you have a much lower GVWR it is a much bigger percentage of what you can carry and can cause problems. I am sure the 500lb difference could cost some loads but I wasn't sure if the majority of loads are between 1500-2000lbs or...

In setting up my cargo van I got part way through and weighed the van and noticed that I am getting close to having a 2000lb payload capacity. Is this enough or if I add more and it drops it down to only being able to carry 1500lbs is that a big mistake?

That's a big step up in size, it should make life a lot easier on the road.

It just depends on the individual carrier, some will have you pay for the insurance through weekly settlements and some won't charge you directly for it at all. I thought I have even seen a couple of carriers make you purchase it on your own and name them on the policy.

How much does it cost to join N.A.S.T.C.? Their website won't allow you to join online which has me a little concerned.

I have several sets of these.

A lot of these jobs are call center positions which while they may not be highly skilled positions they pay pretty well. This is also one of the reasons I chose Verizon Wireless, not only do they have the best service any positions that they outsource are done within the US.

If the fuses are good then you need to change the cigarette lighter (power point) itself, they do go bad but are easy to change.

A standard pallet is 48"long by 40" wide.

As 4G service comes out talking on the phone and using data will no longer be a problem for companies using CDMA. Verizon is expected to have 4G everywhere there is 3G now by 2013 so that is less than 2 years now.

How was the trip with Mr. Peabody and his time machine?:) It has some great information for tax purposes as well, glad you were looking back as far as you did and were able to find it.
