    Fleetvision

    On a somewhat related issue, talked with Tim the other day, concerning the GPS feature of the Qualcomm not working, and he said they are close to getting it working, it is a q-c issue.I mentioned that it may be a good idea to send out a message letting us know when it does get working, so we can...

    Been Sitting How Long???

    While waiting for a load, even for extended periods of time, I have a peaceful, easy feeling, knowing they are doing everything they can to get us moving as quickly as possible, without whoring us out on rates.That's why I dont call and bother them, unless it is asking advice on where to move...

    I pre-soaked the van, and then brushed it down with the soap in the bucket, then rinsed it off, a perfect, non-soapy rinse!And a perfect wash, enjoying the new pressure! Improvise! Adapt!...lol.

    Swing out carrier for van

    As much as I dont like to, I am going to mount mine on the front, using a front reese hitch, with an aluminum basket attached to it.It is a Cummins/Onan 3,200 watt, similar to a Honda eu3000.I cannot mount it to the rear bumper,because of the tailight/license plate configuration on my Spartan...

    How Many Companys are You Contracted To?

    One, and only one.And I am more than happy with my One.I know of a driver, who is, (get a hold of this) leased to 9....yes, nine companies at once! And you know what?? He isnt doing any better than I am.I mean, most companies bid on the same loads, off of the same boards, for the most part...

    Thank you for the info! I am sure this will be a benefit to others! The sad part of it is, this last paragraph should not only be limited to drivers alone.It is amazing how many fleet owners, owners, co. owners as well, who do not know how to change a headlight, let alone this kind of...

    How many miles are too many?

    If youre going to use the van for expediting,Why limit yourself with a 3/4 ton?? Go for the 1 ton! I'd think the important question would be how it was maintained, idle hours,(which I know cant really be told on an American van), and how it was used, etc.I've seen properly maintained trucks with...

    what kind of Class 8 truck should I Buy?

    I, myself, prefer a Kenworth or Pete.Western Star would be the next choice.They were alot better before Freightliner took them over, but not bad still.A Paccar product has an excellent resale value, and is a very durable truck.The only drawback to these trucks is the lack of room in the cab...

    The new die cast straight trucks will be here in mid December.

    I'd love to have one of each. I noticed one of the semi models on display in the case at Utility the other day.
