Well good morning,my skinny studly Canadian freind! It isnt really about the bugs, but about the looks.Uh-oh, I may be getting smug early this morning! Mpg's? If that was a concern of mine, I would have a sprinter.Actually, after I get the gear ratio changed, and computer flashed, the mpg should...

Is the Army-Navy surplus store a good place to get a good quality sleeping bag? I'm going to get one soon, to be on the safe side if I break down.Sorry, my comfort means too much to me not to idle in the cold.Been there, done that.

Thanks, Shadow, I could not figure out how to post a link, my computer illeteracy at it's finest ..lol.I have yet to put mine on, waiting till I get in some warmer weather.The only thing I can think of is J.C Whitney has a bunch of them in stock.

Pot roast, eh? Out of respect for the freightmaster I am keeping quiet!! lol.But it does sound good, I made one a month ago, if I remember correctly.Nice marbling, real tender and juicy,falling apart...just perfect !! Oh, and by the way, yes, I was snoring earlier today on the phone.Taking my...

I am not even contracted to Load One, and can see that from what Mr.Elliot posts on here and from just talking to him as well as Vince.Nicely done, a role model of what others should be.Nicely done.

I'm at an average of .87 to .90 cpm avg, loaded mile, here at ASE.Been that way since I started.The only thing that helps that is low deadhead miles, keeping the all mile pay up to a respectful level.These are van rates, no Sprinter.And on a flat-rate based system, as well.After seeing a freinds...

I am well aware they are not company owned vehicles.I used to be there myself for awile in the past.That is why I said Over 10,000 trucks in their system, meaning all of their companies/divisions combined.Last I knew, anyway.Trailers are rented to the BCO's (Business capacity owners), another...

I'd love to have a microwave and fridge in the van, but there is a empty weight problem that I have to keep an eye on.Also, I just do not have the room.While at home, it sometimes gets used for personal reasons, warranting the passenger seat being left in.I have a cooler,and usually have a bowl...

Were you in the burgundy dodge tinted window van at the Pilot on Friday in Charleston?At exit 199? With the generator mounted on the rear and the window A/C unit hanging out of the side door?I was in the All-State van across from you.I had to leave and go home and replace my water pump....My fan...

I have the copy in the van, I dug it out and re-read it, and he clearly states it was un-touched as far as being rebuilt, except for the belt-driven accessories needing replaced once in awile.

It was an article in a back issue of expedite now,with his van on the front cover.1.2 million and was still going..awesome !!His name was Burt (cant remember his last name) and leased to Panther.

That is on my wish list, I know it would do wonders for my tailbone killing me after a long drive, that's for sure.

Oh, please, will you forgive me Mr Leo? I didnt see the gasoline van part, my mistake...How will I live with myself now?GEEEZZ!!!

Ido have a generator here in the garage, but it jumped time 180 and needs to be fixed.Actually, as hard as it may seem to believe,the van actually leans to the right, 3/4 of an inch lower, and it drives me crazy,even put new front coils in it, and it is still that way.So I am eliminating driver...

They better have deep pockets if that is what they intend to do.Last I knew, Landstar had over 10,000 trucks in their system.

Let's see....1/2 the engine that I have,half the water pump...lol..This thing is huge.It has 9 bolts, whare a 8.3 Cummins has 3 bolts, and smaller by half the size compared to what this thing is..You open youre hood,and see this singer sewing machine under there, I open the hood,and see and hear...

Actually,my American slop-bucket does have all grease fittings on all moving parts...

Well,as I have explained to you before, on the phone, Sir OVM, if my long-term intentions of going back to doing work closer to home are in the close future,why am I going to waste my money on a generator and everything else when I plan on being home on a more regular basis? Now,if things go...

That is what has me thinking, if there is that much difference in pay for the same run between 2 carriers,what are the others getting?Obviously, Load 1 is the more honest one of the bunch, I feel, reflecting in the pay to us.

How ironic, I guess.Youre schedule is the same of mine.I use that Ford Powerstoke 15w40 oil and a quart of lucas in the oil on my van.
