    Important! New Ratings System

    What the Hell do you want from me? You asked for proof and I gave it to you. That should have been the end of it. But no, now you want to attack me in public when I haven't done anything to you. Why? Also, I have no idea what "get app on bar" means. If you want some function or feature added...

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    Well, people have been saying that cargo vans will be regulated "soon" for at least as long as I've been doing this. But none of the accident data for cargo vans supports regulation, and until it does, the chances of cargo vans being regulated are zero.

    I'm not sure that I can get one that's far right enough for her.

    The DOT can't regulate under-10,001 pound vehicles without the sayso from Congress. The US Code of Federal Regulations defines what can be regulated.

    2015 Promaster Oil Plug

    Fomoto should be embarrassed. I'd call a dealer or take it to a mechanic. They should be able to tell you size and threads.

    That's by design. They can be ordered in any way I want, and this isn't the final number of them or the final icons, but I hope to have them ordered left to right with the most often used. The "like" button will definitely remain first. That's really more of a smiley than feedback on a post...

    I've pulled into many a scale house in my Sprinter while placarded, and nary a word on my sleeper. The regulations plainly state that the sleeper berth regulations (dimensions and location) apply to all Commercial Motor Vehicles, as defined earlier in the section, and any vehicle placarded fits...

    2015 Promaster Oil Plug

    The specs are M14-1.5 That's an F-106 Fumoto valve. (Confirmed at the Fumoto site). I still recommend the one with the nipple. I love the nipple. And who doesn't? I use a 10 quart gas can with a gooseneck spout that fits right over the nipple. The can fits just right under the Sprinter...

    Geezers coming out...

    I think you're certainly on the right track. Straight truck team expediting is nearly tailor-made for retired couples (who can get along and play well with each other). Coming to the Expo will give you a lot of valuable information. As for sleeping on the road, the first 2-4 weeks out here will...

    March - big money, big money - no whammys!!!

    Ever since I got the Silverstar I've been changing the fluid every 25,000-35,000 miles. In addition, right before changing the fluid I'll dump a can of BG Quick Clean into the transmission and then drive it the 20 miles to where I have the fluid changed. At the change, they replace a little of...

    Cargo Van Class C in IL

    It's somewhat useful at Panther, but not like you'd think. If you have a HAZMAT endorsement they will allow you to haul HAZMAT, but only if it doesn't require placards (unless things have changed dramatically in the last 5 years). They won't put placarded HAZMAT on a cargo van. So you've got...

    Important! New Ratings System

    The EO app (as well as the native, unbranded Tapatalk) are completely different programs from the Web forum software (Xenforo), and as such the vast majority of changes made to one will not affect the other. The Web browser on the phone and tablets, however, is almost identical to that of the...

    The 7 examples presented weren't intended to be the bedrock reason to change something. You asked for proof that people had asked for it, and I gave you that proof. A), nobody has lost anything, as the "Like" button is still there, it didn't go away. B), I gave you a small sampling of people who...

    Cargo Van Class C in IL

    Panther requires a CDL of some kind, so for a Class C it could be Passenger or HAZMAT, either one. As to the original question, yes, it's normal. The CDL general knowledge written test has everything from fifth wheel to bulk tanker to bridge law questions. I remember a bridge law question, but...

    Important! New Ratings System

    You should be able to now. We have had a multitude of people, in both private and in public, request a Dislike button, and an Agree and Disagree button, among others. Basically, they want more options to express themselves beyond that of a simple "like." This allows them to do that. All of the...

    March 2016, where are you going ??

    Well, he is, but he's just using the EO App. Likes are still enabled on the app, because the "Like posts:" permissions haven't changed for anyone. Installing the Post Ratings didn't supplant the "like" ability on the phone. Not until it goes live.

    It will when it goes live for everyone. Sort of. Next to the ratings there is a little "List" link that pops up a box that shows who all rated the post. It will show who rated it, and what rating they gave.

    Important! New Ratings System

    We're working on implementing a new ratings system to replace and greatly enhance the "likes" we've all come to know and love. The system is, at its core, a user rating system where users are rated based on their posts. The options are Positive, Negative, and Neutral. All of them here will...
