Guido, how hard was it to replace the springs with the air bags?

You too? **cough**

I would go with the Sub, but the real issue is the safety one. I worked in the medical transportation field, I had to be trained (as a safety coordinator) in handling the material you will be handling and the company I worked for actually handled it for specific customers. The issue of using...

OVM, one battery can do it and no it won't stay charged because if you draw electricity from it, it loses its charge. Flight suit? That is the most comfortable way to stay warm for me when I don't use my big torpedo heater in the truck.

Does he also pull the torque converter plug and drain that?

I don't know about that engine but I would start saving for an Espar.

I have only seen a couple trucks with it on the front but I am told on the rear and only there for a straight truck.

If it is done at an official MB upfitters, it will not. If it is done by a shop who follows the MB upfitters guidelines for body modification and document what they did it will not. If you do it in the backyard with a torch, some welding rod and a can of rustolium, then maybe it would if you...

Cheri, Yep there was a change but I still am a competitor for the same freight that others want.

Bob, UN1263 - the only exception.

OVM, A couple things ... first is shouldn't a company pass along 100% of a labor charge? Does 1-load pass along 100% when you have to load/unload a truck or van? Second, you like U2?

WoW Bob, Friday just got a mini-lecture on how the company does not load hazmat on any of the vans within the fleet. I asked to see if I can haul one of my deticateds by box truck and they said 'Nope'.

If your plan is to run reefer trucks for Panther, not one person who has responded would be competing for the freight that you want. Excuse me Cheri, tell that to my reefer truck.

Cut the wheel wells, have the spring hangers changed to increase the height of the back end and then put rubber blocks to prevent the tired from hitting the wells. Simple as that.

I understand what you did, and lump everyone in the same group for simplicity. If this insults you, then that is part of the problem with the mentality that an average UAW worker seems to have - it's not my job. Nevertheless it is a valid position to take. The problem is Michigan, like...

Well she can still cause a lot of damage. the election is not the end of this congress until next year and till then she gets to fly first class Military until they seat the new congress in.

Well being frank, the problem is that is one owner out of many. He is telling you or showing you what his operation is doing but it is limiting you. What you need to do is get involved with this, buy a small truck without putting a lot of capital into it and go on the road. Spend time with...

NO. You really need to get out in the real world and see for yourself. I think the average time for a good fleet owner to find people to drive is like 21 days. Can you afford to idle a truck that long? That does not include if you have to recover a truck or have to deal with legal issues over...

But see it did happen to me and I don't want others to suffer like I have. At first I blamed the company for it until I learned how it really works. I took that same position that they only care about profits and screw the people who actually matters but again it took me a while to learn the...

But Chef, the idea that the need to act like conservatives is part of the problem because many are clinging onto the idea that Reagan was a definition of what a conservative is and that the history of conservatives are those who want small government while allowing the freedoms need to move...
