I bought the Promaster and will be 6 feet under before it is paid off. If I had a brain (no comment please) I would have bought a small box truck with the Chevy 6.0 and six speed. It will last for ever, handle any freight you might get, there are used ones available for not too much $$$, parts...

We were in Texas at a the J. We started talking to a Russian driver and just mentioned our insurance card. We asked if he had one and he said no. He said he didn't have to carry one cuz Surgie had one. We have had 3 different Russian drivers tell us "the highway patrol are not allowed to stop...

We all believe we are great drivers because it's what we do. But you sure can't rule out being lucky. If we all added up the near misses we have had, it's a wonder we have survived.

The driver is named in one of the news reports online. I have met him on the road and enjoyed a nice visit with him. He had a great sense of humor. It will be a sad night for this vanner at the "J".

Sorry for your loss. The drivers at Load 1 are some of the best. I hope my wife never sees this photo. If any good can come from an accident like this, it reminds me to keep a 4 second distance and keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen to me. I have been blessed. Hope everyone else...

Now Thats Funny!!!

Dave gave us several pointers that we use every day. We are always grateful that he took the time to visit with us. Wish there were more like him.

We ran into him last summer or early fall. He was doing okay.

If you are getting older and don't have nursing home coverage you might qualify for Medicare Part G. If you need a nursing home and the government says none are available and they won't help, Part G is for you. They give you a gun and one bullet. You get to shoot one worthless politician of...

Thank Gawd that we never reproduced. The world is a scary place and this country is headed down a very bad road. The business has been good for us. We have had several good weeks lately. (until the van broke) going back out tomorrow. I think the reason we are doing okay is we are taking...

It is so tough when you are at the mercy of the honesty of a dealership or a mechanic. I have made some bad choices on repairs. Its usually the transmission repair folks that get to me. I would like to buy a Sprinter but I can't afford the repairs. One guy told me he spent $10,000 on the DEF...

Si! Our last Dodge was made in Canada. Who would have thunk.

We just got our van out of the shop. It has a new head on the back side of the engine. When we first started expediting, we talked to every driver that would visit with us. We new that we could learn from each of them. We were lucky to meet Dave Cunningham for Kirchner, ONT. We both drove...

Good news! The van is done. I picked it up this afternoon. The dealer did a great job getting me in and out. Chrysler was also great to work with. Even though the van has 120K on it, they paid all but $500 on the head replacement. It really helped us out and it helped restore my choice to...

Schwanman, you mentioned the head light replacement. I have had to change out 6 or 7 so far. It is a pain but I can get it done in about 10 minutes now. Until I realized you have to remove the entire assay, I spent a couple of hours trying to change the first one. Now it is unhandy but no...

I put the van in the shop. The head needs replaced over the #2,4,6 cylinders. This is the same problem that plagues the Jeep owners. Dodge has extended the warranty on the Jeeps to 150K miles because of this problem. I have requested that they do the same for me. So far I have not had a...

Well its been a while since I posted anything. My Promaster now has 120K on it. Aside from the brakes being noisy (which has gotten better in the last couple months), the suspension which is still noisy and the occasional problem with the wipers quitting in a rain storm. Oh and changing...

It is great to see the American Dream is still available with hard work and taking a few risks. Congrats on your success and I hope it continues through out the years. The Load 1 drivers I have met are proud to carry your logo. That says it all.

We started with Custom Critical and now are at Landstar. Both companies have good points and not so good points. It really doesn't make a difference to us who is number one or three. We like the way Landstar operates. I like working with the different agents. Sure not everyone is great, but...

Sure. I will take some soon. Thanks for asking.
