Not many specs on the generator there at all. Fuel consumption, amp output, weight, etc. Will have to look into it, though, and see if they will break it down without their rooftop A/C-heater unit, too.

Excellent info. Thanks! I've been swaying back and forth on getting one. Now I know. :)

I'm gonna switch to Linux as soon as they get it finished. :+

Or, simply get an EZ Pass or I-Pass transponder and be done with it.

Crap? Seriously? Thoughtless? Did no one see the little clown face next to the crap? :+ <---- that one? http://members.aol.com/dcreelma/imagesite/animated/otherstuff/dancin1.gif

If it weren't for the HoS and logging restrictions, I'd be in a straight truck, even with the downsides of not being able to go where I want, park where I want. I once had a load that took me to Flagstaff, AZ. I took myself out of service for a few days and took the van to the Grand Canyon...

There have been a glut of vans in the industry ever since the second van came into service. The impending demise of vans in the industry goes back to about three days after that date. I doubt that any driver, owner/operator or fleet owner could come up with any kind of accurate figures of the...

arkjarhead: The rules haven't really changed, but there are a few exceptions to them, agri-chemicals being one of the exceptions. Several types of consumer-packaged products that would otherwise be classified as HAZMAT are also an exception (depending on the amounts carried, and in some cases...

A diesel doesn't put out carbon monoxide like a gasoline burning engine does, so that's the one thing you can breathe easier about, assuming you can still breathe through the soot, that is.

"...you are the one that turns the engine off too." I see that your engine has never just up and quit on you while on the Interstate, or in the middle of a really busy intersection, in Chicago, at 4:30, on a Friday. Ooooh! Something to look forward to! :P

Some states have different definitions and applications for Class D and Class C licenses. In some states, a Class D is like a teenage driver's license, and when they become 18 (or 21) they get a real, Class C license. Some states use Class E for the teenage license. But in North Dakota, and...

I haven't had a problem with the harmonic load balancer, but I do have a rusty fuel cap. Talked with my Sprinter tech just the other day about the rust issue. He said it's nothing to worry about. Apparently, diesel fuel will flat out rust stainless steel. Don't know. But, in any case, the only...

dimensions More importantly, who pees on a parade?

Pretty kewl, Lawrence. Killer. :)

Did you give the order to bunt. Brilliant! Man, I wish I had thought of that. It's perfect. LOL The above is just something I threw together when this mess was at its height. Posted it to one of the Reds message boards. And a few days later it actually got read on one of the shows on MLB on XM...

And, it's a good idea to get an empty weight ticket every few months, or certainly once a year, to catch the junk you add to the truck over time.

The Truth? You want answers? I think I'm entitled to them. You want answers? I want the truth! You can't handle the truth! "Son, we live in a basbeall world that has steroids sitting in the lockers. And those lockers have to be guarded by men with money. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Captain...

Threads are living, breathing organisms. They move in unexpected ways. No doubt, one of these days, a dispatcher will tell the owner of an extra tall 2007 Sprinter that the load was 4 inches too tall, even for a Sprinter. Whoops. Yes, I did take it up with a higher-up. More on the question of...
