    Got out of the shop in Laredo Friday after a couple delays in the part getting to the shop. If anyone ever needs work done on a van or sprinter while there check out Precision auto and Truck they did a good job. Dispatch found a load for me picking up in San Antonio Saturday, delivered in...

    Indiana Museum of Art in Indianapolis

    The museum is a nice place to spend some time. They also have a festival every year called the Penrod Arts fair held on the grounds of the museum. Back in my sound tech days I had the pleasure of running sound for a couple of the live stages there and my daughter has also danced during the...

    I have to say it could have been worse. The problem appeared in the J parking lot, found someone in Laredo to fix it and the part should be here tomorrow. I still have the sprinter to sleep in and did not have to get a tow so trying so look o the bright side.

    Sylectus sold!!

    Good thought but if you look at the big picture how many listings would they lose by restricting the number of trucks those loads were available to?

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    "I guess it is ok to put a monetary value on human lives, not in book though." That is a very nice feel good statement but in the real world placing a value on life can not be avoided.

    Oprah demands R-E-S-P-E-C-T for Obumma

    I am not a fan of hers but in no way can what she said be interpreted as a "demand".

    So have I understood this correctly from reading old posts?

    In the fine tradition of banter I will say there are exceptions to every rule.

    Picked up Thursday in Kentucky to Laredo and what a drive it was. After making my pickup I hit the road and all was going good and was looking forward to some warm weather. About 10:30 that night I stopped to fuel up in West Memphis and headed west. I was noticing some trucks still in the...

    So have I understood this correctly from reading old posts?

    Van drivers are better looking and have more hair on their heads. :D Whichever you decide to drive probably the single biggest factor on the type of money you make will be the company you drive for, especially as a solo. Although there are exceptions to every rule, in general if in a van...

    the changing climate and interstate travel

    Your talking about spending a lot of money on an "if". My opinion, thew feds need to mind their own business and let the states decide what works for them. To spend the kind of money it would take for a problem that affects three or four days of the year is a little much.

    New Ad Bar

    I clicked the close once and have seen anything but the left hand tab since. I am on firefox 3.6, Chef what are you using? I am also using a tethered connection, 3g Verizon and it does not seem to affect load speeds or anything.

    It's a forum, sharing and learning is the idea behind it and as long as a person gets their point across I'm good with it.

    My Next Cargo van. The Nissan NV

    In no way comparable to a sprinter but could be compared to a short cargo van so that is what you need to compare prices to.

    just thinking!

    What exactly is cheap freight anyway? Is it the same rate for someone who paid 5 grand for a van compared to the person who paid 25 grand? Is it the same for a young guy who lives at his parents and has no expenses as it is for the person who has a home and kids? How about the person that fixes...
