    Sprinter engines

    I dont know what you financial situation is, how close you are to having the current one paid off, but would it be a better idea and cheaper to get another van altogether? Just wondering.

    Satellite communications

    You are missing the whole point, Cheri.Look at what is said before you, how you are replying to DannyD's post. He is talkng about when he is DRIVING They know where he is at at all times, which has proven to work in his favor as far as getting a load because of a gps/satellitte system. Now...

    sraled beam headlights

    I got mine from Summit racing 3 weeks ago.They look real cool, and are 200% better than my old sealed beams.They actually have a blue outer ring that lights up when youre marker lights are on, giving the headlight a gentle blue/white glow like those foreign cars. Bulbs are xtravision from...

    Do Dispatchers Lie?

    Yes, from my past experiences, the worse the load is, the less information is offered about it at time of acceptance. Or they'll say, it is real hot, just get there, I'll send you the info once it is picked up. Or another one is, just get rolling, still waiting on the fax.Thank God I'm away from...

    I saw you pull in to the J in Gary, Ind last week, I was going to come over and introduce myself after I got done eating my Captain Crunch.But by the time I got done, took my vitamins, your shades were up on the windshield, and I never bother someone unless they are in plain view up front.So I...

    Do Dispatchers Lie?

    I sat and thought about this for awile.And, "I know I'm going to sound like a major kiss-*** here, but I have never been lied to at All-State from any department so far.Honestly. Every one is kind, courteous,and trustworthy as far as I can see.If there is a crap run, dispatch lets me know...

    Rear suspension

    Instead of wasting my time playing a guessing game with replacing expensive parts when it wasn't necessary,I'd simply take it to Certified Alignment & Suspension on Dix rd in Detroit, Mi and let them look at it.They have been in the business a long time and have an excellent reputation.

    Van E-track on the side wall?

    I have one row of E-track on each side wall about halfway up, welded to the wall supports.I used 2 aluminum load bars, cut to size to fit the width of the van between the e-track.I place one load bar in front of the barrell,one behind the barrell.They dont move. If it is one barrell, I'll do the...

    You are absolutely right.That is why All-State has a driver recruiting program in place.

    I just received an E-mail from Light and medium duty truck magazine saying GM is recalling 5,000 2010 heavy duty cargo vans for an alternator problem and not to drive them until the problem is corrected.Go to Transport Topics or Light and Medium duty truck magazine for the rest of the story.I...

    Unloading and loading a van

    My Ex was from Brooklyn, and every year we would go back there for the holidays to visit the real Italians there.It was funny how so many people would take a used tire, cut it, and wrap it around their front and rear bumpers.Kinda looked like them Dodgems at Coney island.I sure do miss the Real...

    All state express driver survey

    Just one of the many things I like about being here is the fact that due to our size, very rarely do I run into another ASE van waiting for a load where I am at.That alone is great, instead of unloading and going to a truckstop only to find you may be #23 out with 3 first outs in front of you.It...

    I'm sure this is a dumb question....

    It's not worth the headache and hassle for me to deal with.I also feel by running for several companies it shows a persons lack of trust and loyalty in who he is originally leased to, just my opinion.Why does the guy with over 150 red Kenworths out of Memphis lease his trucks on with carriers...
