BTW, the roof cap is not on yet so the roof sheet looks rough in these pictures.

And details of the on-board generator door and the passenger side wheel opening/moldings.

I can show more details. Unfortunately progress in slow this winter. It's too cold in the barn and the Sprinter it's replacing is still running well so the urgency to get out in the cold isn't very high! Here's the access door for the porti-potty (which my co-driver demands!)

OK, I took pictures of the tires so you can read what they are. And although I've had no clearance problems at all, you have to take into account at least two important facts: 1. I only have 450 unloaded miles on the truck. 2. Because of the design of our truck, virtually all of the...

Told it was a problem that has been corrected. Should be paid Monday.

Express-1.

No pay today. A company that has been in business for years suddenly misses payday. . .:mad:

Did anyone else notice their regular Friday settlement was NOT deposited into their checking account? Was Fleet Vision disrupted at every carrier?

I was wrong. Just confirmed. Base Sprinter rate increased $0.10 to $0.80. $1.00 a mile rate for over 2,000 lbs. is gone. Looks like we're leaving Express-1.

Oops! Just confirmed. The $1.00 rate for Sprinters is gone. They are hoping that paying deadhead miles will be enough to keep us on, which it will not. There is no way paying for SOME deadhead (we already got deadhead over 75 miles) will come close to balancing out! We are shopping new...

I didn't pay attention to the straight truck rates during the conference call yesterday, but it was NOT my impression they were cutting ANY rates. I can tell you for certain they are increasing the base Sprinter rate by $0.10 a mile PLUS paying all deadhead miles @ $0.35 a mile PLUS adding a...

Are you SURE IT WAS INSULIN? There are many drugs injected into stomach fat so they are time release. Did he tell you it was insulin? I take a different drug injected into my stomach fat. Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app

On our 2006 Sprinter, we've always figured $0.40 per mile to operate. That includes ALL costs like fuel, maint, insurances, payment (or depreciation because it is paid for), tolls, etc. That has always covered all costs pretty close. Having an operational cost figured makes it easier to...

Our 2006 3500 Sprinter, rated 9,900 lbs GVW, can carry about 3,900 legally. IF you had a newer Sprinter WITH THE 11,020 GVW OPTION, you could haul 4,500 lbs. However, these are literally unheard of in the expedite industry because a 11,020 GVW REQUIRES logs and a raised deck. I doubt there is...

Today we installed the roof with aircraft tape, and will trim it off Monday with trim rails running the long edges of the top. We also formed cool "kick outs" for the front of the wheel openings to help guide the airflow past the rear wheels. We will be forming "kick ins" at the rear edges of...

Once the skin was applied, we began attaching polished diamond plate to the beltline & below. We've have too many dings from wind blown Wally World carts and door dings from careless kids. We put some real bling into the protection with the polished plate.

OK! Here's a few pictures after we applied the skin using special 3M aircraft tape. No screws or rivets for this girl! Notice we haven't removed most of the protective clear coving from the skin yet.

We're with Express-1 and we have been treated fairly for three years now. However, if you have had break-downs, late deliveries, or taken way too much time off, it will affect your load offers & frequency. If you haven't had any of those issues, I couldn't explain your experiences at all . . ...

The 32 year old motorcycle officer was conducting a traffic stop when he was ran over and killed by the semi driver. The officer leaves behind a wife and two young kids. No, he did not pull out in front of the semi.

When you see it in person, I'll accept your deposit! ;)
