I drive for one of the smaller companies mentioned, operating out of Chicago. Outbound loaded, deadhead back. The upside is that I am home frequently, the downside is that approximately half of my mileage is non-paid deadhead miles. So, if you have your heart set on that it can be done. Just...

I know. I've been lurking here for a couple of months, and his advice does look to be sound. As to the wisecracks--- you don't have to be crazy to be in expediting, it offers on-the-job training.

Turtle, your last post caused me to look up Sprinter transmission troubles. I bought this one used, it had 183,000 on it when I bought it so, unless Carfax might have something on it, I'll just have to guess on the tranny for the moment. I can report that this one has a "hole" between second...

I hope I've finally touched bottom on this one. Today, after another blizzard of phone calls, I found a garage in Palatine, Illinois that can do it and furthermore, according to the lie he told me, he has the part in stock. Will wonders never cease? Installed for just over eighteen hundred, and...

Sorry about my previous posts here yesterday, I was having a bad day and I think the negativity kind of shows. I really don't want to open up here that down on everything, sure the economy is bad but there are possibilities. Maybe somebody here can help with a word of cheer.

I got that "Weird duck" phrase from a Texan. He had a lot of sayings like that.

I suppose a little quickie history is in order. I've driven something commercially now since November of '87. First it was large semi, then I stepped down to package delivery in my vehicles since Sept. of '89. Most of my time up to about four months ago was spent in the Chicago area in...

This is my first post here, but I've been reading here for a couple of months and I'm not exactly new around forums (as a Google of my user name would quickly prove). Right now I'm at home, with a breakdown/possible vehicle replacement. I drive a 2005 Dodge Sprinter and I had the bad luck to...
