    Tval- br units, help please?

    Besides the sprinter life span it would be interesting to know how the insulation holds up. All insulation breaks down over time, wonder how long for those things?

    Tval- br units, help please?

    The team BR people who we have talked to out this way seem happy with what they are doing. I have no clue about out there. I do believe, at least it is my opinion, that the BR units should be able to make it on the specialized freight alone. I don't think they can be used for much more out of...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    When we were going out there we did do a lot of "DOD" loads, too and from different military bases. Most was not temp work. Most would fit in a "C" box. Most were under 5K in weight. We could have kept busy with those but, generally speaking, they don't pay enough to run a lot of them on a TVAL...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    Sort of. The problem with those BR-TVAL sprinters is the insulation. It cuts down on the size of the freight you can fit it one, by a lot. That will restrict the number of non-TVAL/Temp control loads you can handle in one.

    Tval- br units, help please?

    It is more so for the TVAL freight since much of those loads require constant guarding. I don't know how it has been out there. We are no longer welcome in CA. I am not up on current freight levels. I no longer have a clue what internal TVAL work there is in CA. I cannot recall EVER running a...

    Tval- br units, help please?

    Those sleepers are kind of small for two people. Unless the BR freight is drastically different than CR/DR freight, you will find that will be more "team" freight than solo. Not totally sure if that is the case. It is correct for the CR/DR side of the house.

    This Post for the VETS and those Concerned Commissary Funding cuts and hudge clousers

    Re: This Post for the VETS and those Concerned Commissary Funding cuts and hudge clou It would be interesting to know what you mean by corporate welfare. I am saying that as we cut the budget we do away with UNEARNED benefits before we do away with EARNED benefits. In other words, quit...

    Canada Canada load questions And suggestions

    Sumptin like that. We like to get between .25 to .50 per mile more than we would take for a similar load that stayed in the US. "Hassle pay". We try to avoid spending weekends in Canada and DO NOT take loads to QC that would keep us there over a weekend. Not worth the hassle.

    Don't forget to add "border premium pay" to the load before taking any cross border loads. Crossing the border can be a hassle. Going into QC requires even HIGHER pay, due to the hassles of that province.

    Self Protection

    About the same number as I would trust with a motor vehicle. On top of that, I NEVER said that everyone should carry. All I said is that everyone should be aware of their surroundings and take precautions to defend themselves if need be. I also wonder why government would OUTLAW the means of...

    Self Protection

    First off, I have NO idea where you get the idea that it is illegal to carry in MOST restaurants, stores, malls etc. That is not a fact. I carry, when I am home, into MOST places that I go. There are few where it is NOT legal to carry. The criminals are more likely to play their "games" where...
