    Terminology and other things

    That's a tough call for the members here to make, based on the very little bit we know about you. I think it would be best for you to contact several companies, listen to the sales pitches and narrow it down from there. That, combined with researching back in the forums here should help you make...

    Nope. It's not just a simple drive through. Well, it is if you're set up for it, but...

    6-71 detroit

    Ahhh, the trusty 238. Keep it revin', keep downshiftin', and keep dumpin' in the gallons of oil. Has it run backwards on you yet?

    Flying J Files Bankruptcy

    Dang, I've still got hair. But, it's gray and I'm a big fat-azz! Would that work?

    Canada canada speed limiters,what to do

    I agree with OVM, not a customs issue. If the MTO pulls you in for an inspection, they'll have a scanner to plug in and they'll supposedly know how to use it.

    Here in Waddy, Ky the predicted low last night was single digits, with a wind chill of "you've got be freakin' kiddin' me!"

    About to take the plung

    O.K., O.K. I heard you the first time. The point is, there's a cost there to be considered. 5 years on a van you got for 3k? With repairs, down time due to repairs, and putting money away for the next paid for van, are you sure you'll be ahead of the game as opposed to new?

    According to Forbes...UAW

    One of the local morning news shows in northern Michigan does a "jobs bank" feature every morning. One morning, there was a job opening for a school counselor. A masters degree was required and starting pay was 25-30k, depending on experience. You just can't look at something like that, then...

    The Puppy Project

    I'm in the "what Linder said" camp. I'm as big a dog lover as you'll find, and I thought that when I moved up to the straight truck I'd have one on board. The responsibilities outweigh the advantages, IMHO. But, when I go home, the very first thing I do is play fetch and wrestle with Bob.

    OMG... Umm... I was just trying to use a bit of sarcastic humor to introduce the thread. I'm not suggesting that it's 1952 and we're trying to use the wrong water fountain. My apologies to those that didn't get it.

    Wow. That's a lot of fancy words to say, "we've got a big building with lots of people and we can move your freight." Did you write that, Phil?;)

    About to take the plung

    You live in some kind of zone, I have no doubt. Your next van may be Fleeced Taxpayer Motors instead of GM.

    About to take the plung

    How is a "paid for" van an advantage? If you're not paying as you go, don't you have to put money away for the next van? Is this money that magically appears and doesn't have to be factored in? Do you have a van tree in the back yard?

    I have someone that buys my "sporting wear" for me. A man in my position can't afford to be seen doing that.

    That's not at all surprising. I've been there once and the truck area was strewn with garbage. The slobs among us wrecking it for everyone else.

    You can't agree on what? That we should talk about places we can and can't park? Whether it's local ordinance or the policy of a particular store, it's just helpful info to share. The Huber Heights location is Ex 38 on I 70 and is listed in the atlas that's sold at Wal-Mart. Meijer's has long...

    After being kicked out of the Wal-Mart in Huber Heights, Oh yesterday, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread listing the Wal-Marts that don't want us around. We seem to hear about this more and more lately. So, I'm kicking it off with... Huber Heights, Oh.

    your pay speed

    Are they sending your check via Tripack, or is it you sending your paperwork that way? I think the vast majority of companies have some kind of direct deposit at this point.
