yea, really. this one i gotta hear. and with the fancy high-dollar truck you have, phil, you mean you cant afford some pliers? lol.

But one thing that is forgotten here.If the truck you are driving does not have an apu, and you are paying for the fuel, it can put you in the red real quick while idling the truck to stay warm and/or cool.And there is always the question of the fuel being used for relocating,deadheading, etc.I...

I would like to thank you, Mr. Madsen, for sharing this with us as well as sharing your knowledge and wisdom with this driver.If it werent for you, I can almost guarantee that he would be out of his truck come friday. It has really touched me to how you and your wife have went above what was...

There are actually a few tractor-trailer drivers at Landstar Express America.A close personal freind of mine is leased to them, for 3 years now.He bought his own trailer last year, and is doing well.I always loved landstar. They are a fair and honest company.And alot of fun to work for.I have...

And that raises another gripe of mine.Where have all of the toilet seat covers gone?I use those to put my foot on while putting on my socks.I tried once to use the toilet seat without a lid, needless to say, my foot slipped into the toilet bowl. Not a pleasent experience.And what kind of idiot...

i'm in cincinatti, waiting for a load, polishing the aluminum and chrome.

You all may laugh at this one,but i carry my own shower head with me.How many times have I went to use the shower and the flow/stream is less than a squirt bottle? I take the water saver feature out of mine.and it only takes a few seconds to change, most of them are hand tight.Which leads me to...

once again, thanks for the input on the ford vans.the one i am buying has a 7.3 in it, a 2003 model. the carrier i am leased to does not have an age limit.it was from ryder, with 180,000 miles on it,looking like new inside and out.they want 4,995 for it, well below kelly blue book.they also put...

yes, that sounds to be about right for a cat, even though that can be adjusted via the ecm. this truck wouldnt happen to be celery green, including the box, is it?

thanks so much, everyone! i really appreciatte the help you gave me on the ford van.anyone ever have transmission problems with them? i heard that they did not hold up too well to the torque of a diesel.it does have the towing package on it.thanks again.

Phil,I do apologize to you and anyone else I may of offended by my wording.I will try to choose my words more carefully in the future.Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I hear that nations is good with cargo vans.But they do have high deductions there.(escrow,ins,peoplenet,etc)

After reading all of these posts here,it makes me glad that I am not leased to these large carriers.When I get offered a load,and if I refuse it,I kindly explain to them why,and let them know how much I appreciate them looking for me.Simple as that.As hard as it is to believe,there are no hard...

can anyone tell me what is the best tire for my cargo van? brand,treadpattern, etc.where is the best to purchase them? i imagine 10-ply is the best way to go.

it takes a real man to do what you just did, admit youre mistakes and ask for forgiveness.even though we never met, i have great respect for you because of this.we all go through times in our lives that affects the person we are at that time.i can tell you'd be a trip to hand out with in a bar...

i understand where you are coming from about a sprinter.a sprinter wins hands-down on space, fuel economy,and quietness.but, having owned 2 freightliner products in the past, (a new century and a fl-70,) i swore i would never have another freightliner product.the quality is terrible.it often...
