Horner himself says he is a republican and is only running as an independent because of the circumstances.

You might also want to check your math again, 68 mph would give you 8 hours of extra time if the load is figured at 50mph. So yes a 4 or 5 hour rest is very doable on that load.

The only question I have is why is this in the sports section? :)

If I am not mistaken turtles van starts out lighter than yours. The super ext like you have weigh a little more and I think 5 cyl. engine might weigh less. Turtle probably knows the weight difference in them off the showroom floor.

Just a note some people on this site think because they do not feel safe driving 1500 miles no one else can safely do it either. (not pointing fingers at anyone in particular) It has been explained numerous times that on long loads like that you can always build up time to sleep for 4 or 5...

I have owned guns since my father gave me my first shotgun as a 10 y/o. But I have to be honest and say the statement "I'm not comfortable on the road without being armed" makes me uncomfortable.

If you did not use a cat scale I would start by getting weighed again and at a cat. To work on most sprinter items really takes very few tools, figure out which ones you really need and leave the rest at home. You should be able to get rid of 800 lbs or so and still be comfortable. You will pay...

The first thing a company tractor driver changing to van expediting needs to do is forget everything they think they know about trucking. I did not come from trucking but even with delivery experience in the distant past I had a rough time my first couple months. I learned to adapt, listened to...

My 2500 sprinter scales at 6190. insulated sleeper, me, gas, clothes, tools, Coleman dc cooler, plenty of Mt. Dew and other misc. items.

I once saw a picture of a sprinter that was bent in half from carrying too much weight to often. The mechanic who had it explained to me the sprinters have points in the frame where they can see an expansion if too much payload is being carried very often. He said without a doubt they should not...

Picked up Friday evening in Birmingham dropped this morning in Newberry SC. Deciding where to hang for the weekend. Might treat myself to a room for the night. Got to see OVM and Juju for a few minutes yesterday before their dispatch rudely interrupted our meeting. OVM I forgot to wish you...

That will be wholly dependent on where your last delivery dropped. It could be any of 48 states.

This has been discussed an untold number of times on here. try the search function and you can find some useful info. That being said it is hard to answer your questions without knowing more. Your location size of van do you own it or drive for another party what company are you looking at

Start looking for an owner with an extended van or sprinter available. Not just so you can accept more loads but also for the comfort factor. I started in a non ext. too and learned real fast I would be better off to move to something with more space. It will be a good start though you can learn...

Picked up Wednesday in Greensboro NC delivered about 3:30 am in Tuscolossa. Slept then cam up to Birmingham. Nothing today keeping my fingers crossed for Friday. If nothing happens looks like I might see OVM and the pickle lady here.

Right or wrong I can completely understand the carriers side of this. You see people at every truck stop that I promise you could never pass a legit physical. They find a yes man for for a doctor or dr. shop until they pass the physical. They begin driving have an accident and the carrier along...

Monday Indy to Detroit. Tuesday Detroit to Rocky Mount NC. Today Walmart. :p

Until someone likes their own life it is pretty tough for them to appreciate another persons.

They went broke and got repossed.

this might upset some people. I believe unless a persons obesity is caused by something like a thyroid problem no way should it be covered by anything like ada. I smoke I would never expect to be covered for lung cancer. If a ailment is caused by personal decisions then that person should be...
