    New HOS Rules are out

    I am more than positive there was a thread posted on here not too long ago about Virginia pulling in vans, DOT'ing them, etc.Cubes, are sometimes hard to determine which have to go into scales, and which do not, being the "GVW rating is so spread out.Some yellow Penske vans are under 10,000 gvw...

    Spent the first night in the van with the Espar on....To say it works great is an understatement.13 degrees out last night, and I am turning this thing down twice last night.eventually had the thermostat set at 1/4 from the lowest setting, and it was somewhat comfy, a tad on the warm side.This...

    New HOS Rules are out

    Yes, you are absolutely correct, if some Idiots keep running their vans way over their capacity,or keep on pushing themselves so hard they fall asleep and kill someone.Know youre limits and respect them. we will also, be monitored or under the DOT scope if some van drivers dont clean up their...

    Merry Christmas

    I didnt know it is possible to change, or improve perfect.But, I am so fortunate to work for an owner who does not consider us "A Commodity", and values us more than any others ever will.In return, our loyalty and devotion for John and Load One is unlike any other company, giving our absolute best!

    Looking to buy cargo van or sprinter. Any particular make/model?

    A loaded question, that's for sure! There are so many opinions, theories on this one. I have a 12' spartan body Ford E-350, gasser, that I love to death.Sure, the gas mileage is 12-14 mpg, but look at the cost difference of diesel vs gas also.And the difference between the two is substantial...

    Van age

    I know were talking about vans here, but I found it really funny when I used to run a 10-wheeler and I'd pull into the GM stamping plant on Chevrolet Blvd in Parma, Ohio, at the guard shack,They'd ask to see the registration, open the door, and check the door sticker as well for the model year...

    Sprinter vs cutaway van?

    The thing alot of people forget to take into consideration is the empty weight of a vehicle, especially the Penske dual rear wheel 14-15 ft cubes, under 10,000 gvw, which are heavy to begin with. I know of a few, which are over 9,000# empty weight. I'm sure the vehicle will handle the extra...

    Definitely weighed all thoughts

    Absolutely true, Greg. Could be, let's hope not, a nightmare waiting to happen because of someone else's lack of proper care and maintenance.
