RE: Mexico-domiciled trucking companies Pilot Prog I saw one of them last week in Houston, on a tanker hauling flammable HAZMAT (didn't think to note the number), and another one 2 days ago on I-75 northbound in KY, a van trailer. It's my understanding that most (which may not be the case too...

I ordered 40 of them. That will give me 3 or 4 (I think) extra to cover screw-ups and for spares. I ordered them on blind faith, because OVM told me to order that many. :) $100 plus $9.62 shipping (your shipping may vary).

Where can you take a truck to get nitrogen in the tires? You'd think there would be a Web site that lists all the places that cars and trucks can get nitrogen. But, no. And the larger fleets simply have their own nitrogen generators or fillers. There are many tire dealers that do truck and RV...

Thanks for that information, Chuck. Great news, indeed. OVM, "I'd like to see that half shower credit also translate into a $3.50 cash + 1/2 credit= one shower" It does. Well, actually, it's $3.25 cash + 1/2 credit= one shower. Usually I have enough credits on there at any given time for a...

Yeah, the bottom line is, whether it's filled with air or nitrogen, a properly inflated tire will give better fuel economy and tread wear. However, there are a couple of important differences between tires properly inflated with nitrogen and those properly inflated with air. One is, nitrogen...

I ordered mine yesterday, so next time I'm home I'll install them and take pictures. Oh, sorry, wrong Ken. :+

Well, of course, I was being a little facetious (absurd, actually), just pokin' and proddin' at a few to stir it up a little. I just kept reading always, always, always from people, who keep on tossing the word around as if they don't know what it actually means. Always always means always...

Fuel prices are the same, cash or credit, however, if you do actually pay cash, they'll give you a discount. Just ask 'em. If you ask them why it costs more for credit card purchases, they'll tell you that is doesn't, but they will give you a cash discount. It's illegal to charge more for...

I usually buy fuel at the J, cause they give me free showers. :) Being in a cargo van I'll never buy 50+ gallons in one whack. It's more like 20 or so, 25 max (26 gallon tank). Unlike the others, at the Flying J the gallons keep on adding up, 15 here, 20 there, 20 more down the road, and every...

If it's off-center, then it's probably something with the hinges. Those hinges are a little goofy to begin with, and apparently a few people have had problems with them. I think I recall reading something about that over on the Yahoo Sprintervan group, maybe something in the DIY section, too...

Waitress (waiter, server, whatever) brings the check. Me: "I'll get that" My Friend: "No, let me get that" Me: "OK" I'm easy. :)

Shortly after this thread went up, and after I added to it, I got a run. It was 119 miles, picking up at 1730 and a scheduled delivery time of 0800 the next morning, 14 1/2 hours after the pickup. Knowing full well that I don't know anything, I followed the advice of those on here, especially...

On mine, there's a definite hole down at the bottom of the doors where they meet. The rubber strip doesn't cover down there like it should. It's not big, a pencil would be tight, but a fly can certainly get through. A half-inch square of weather striping should do it. Soon as I take the time to...

My very first load ever in this Sprinter, a forklift operator who had never loaded a van before, rammed into it with such force that the steel step bumper is now quite dented, and the whole thing is a little off. The gray plastic bumper cover hides most of it, but you can still see it. It's not...

It's probably alternator whine, especially if it rises and falls with engine RPM's. But it might be anything electrical. More than likely, a simple in-line noise filter in the radio's positive lead will cure it. It might be RF being picked up by the antenna, and if that's the case you will need...

OK, that ridiculous rut rock-n-roll is gone, and high crosswinds and passing big trucks no longer jerk the steering wheel out of my hands, covered it, covered it, covered it. Last night I finally had the opportunity to put the anti-sway bar and Koni shocks to the real test: that squirrelly...

Online bidding, teeth not required.

NLMI freight is pure auction, lowest bidder with an acceptable delivery ranking gets the freight. The TEANA members could tell NLMI whatever they want, then bid accordingly, and they'd be losing most of the bids to some of the more prominent MIA carriers from the TEANA Members List. A certain...

Lay the e-track down so that it's exactly 48" between the outer edges of them. Then, measure the distance between the inner edges and cut the plywood to fit. Then lay the plywood down and the e-track on each side, to ensure that everything fits, then drive self-tapping screws into everything...
