Ya know, I unloaded Fri at 5pmin Hartford City,then got one from Lima, Oh to chattanooga..But, you sure did luck out! Tat's the kind of running I need to do, especially with the crap week I've had so far, well, until Friday, anyway..Sat 4 days....:eek:

Those problems described existed with the 5000 model,but not at all with the 7700 or the new 7500 platinum.Worked like it should..

Yup...alot more comfy than any van sleeper out there.

The one thing I am wondering is that, with the strong possibilty of OBR's and paperless logs becoming a strong reality and possiblity, how much more important is it going to be for dispatchers to utilize a truck to their fullest potential to cater to the HOS rules and regualtions? Miles and...

I still think he ought to paint it a nice pearl white with a flame job coming off the hood.That would look sweet!

I thoughtit would be kinda cool to empt the van out completly, use that for hauling the freight, while pulling a 12' travel trailer behind it for sleeping/waiting for a laod, but dont think the tralier would hold up to the miles we put on it.And then the thought of un-hooking and hooking up...

But,my dear fellow, with mine being a 03,it is now just beginning to show minimal rust, which will be fixed this summer..Not bad, 8 years old? And, it has only been on the hook once, due to a broken vacuum pump..The first of 2 that went so far..So I know I need to buy an extra to carry with me...

Uh-Oh...lol..:eek:

Assembled here, yes.But built overseas..thus, resulting in the salt-air bath before painting, resulting in premature rust spots in weird places before it is paid off, right? Too bad they do that, for such a nice vehicle.

Isnt that the truth? Load One is one company that others should follow, setting a new standard in expediting.I love them all there.

While in Laredo I met a Panther Driver with a Chevy who had the same problem, and it ended up being his oil pump.He replaced it and it has been fine since.You wouldnt believe this guys van, how spotless it is.I mean real spotless.It has something like 600k on it.

Yes, The Qualcomm has its many advantages, what you said being one of them.Also lessens the risk of mis-givin load info as well.I love mine, especially with the scanner in it.

I had a Cobra 5000 gps,which was a piece of junk, then they upgraded me to a 7700, which I love to death,awesome!It got rained on Monday, due to my fault as to leaving the window partially open,a nd it getting rained on.It would come on, but that was it.,totallyun-responsive.So I e-mailed the...

Read a story in a Magazine from dispatchers point of view, and it brought back some memories of when I used to dispatch as a fill-in back in 89. What can we do to make it easier for them? I know it gets frustrating waiting for a load, sometimes days on end,but I feel the more we call and bug...

Re: Ford E 350 Camshaft Positioning Sensor Recall and Failures I have had my old sensor replaced under recall, not that there was anyting wrong with the one replaced.All is fine here.So why dont you just carry an extra with you, if you are having such bad luck?It is just a 10mm bolt, a plug...

As much as carriers are wanting the o/o to go with a Sprinter, I cant help but lean towards a Spartan-body equipped SRW Ford or Chevy, 12 ft body, which should have close to the height and width of a Sprinter,minus 4 ft of cargo length.Maintenace is cheaper, and parts are available anywhere...

Maybe we need to bring Tony Soprano, Johnny Sack, and Carmine into this...Settle this Jersey Italian style...lol..

I dont know, to be different? Blame it on frustration?:(

Well imagine that..He gets a El Paso..(OVM)Lucky dog..Now,maybe freight will break loose! LOL...Gotta have a sense of humor in this while waiting..for a load....

That was the year that I grossed $137,000 in revenue, as an o/o, solo, in a s/t.I also spent $65,000 in fuel that year..But a 550 cat in a 10-wheeler isnt excactly the most fuel-efficient,either..
