    Chef Dennis's New CargoMax

    If I remember from what I saw of youre van, you have a Todco rear door/handle assembly.There is a version of that handle setup that does have an inside handle, allowing you to open the door from the inside.The Fed-Ex step vans have these.Pretty much the same thing you have, but with the handle...

    What carriers are taking on vans?

    What a joke.They want you to lease on to them, as a o/o, with lease o/o rates, but pay extra for primary insurance and have youre own authority? There ya go!!

    Tire Discount?

    Yes it does.According to John, go on Belle tire's website, pick out the brand/model/size you need, then call Vince Santana and give him the info, and they will let you know what the price is, which obviously, will be cheaper than the posted price on that website. I will be in need of a new...

    The most reliable non CDL box truck.

    I am surprised no one has mentioned a KW or Pete s/t.I had a 2000 T-300 KW and loved it.It was the best s/t I ever had, ultra-dependable.8.3 cummins, 6 sp direct, 3.90 rears, 28 ft box. did real well in both city and highway.If I had to go local again, that is what I'd go with.Actually, if I had...
