    All things being equal, you'll make more money driving your own van than you will driving a straight truck for a fleet owner. Unfortunately, all things aren't equal. Driving a straight truck, you'll do 4 or 5 loads for every van load. There are simply that many more load opportunities for...

    Mercedes Recall

    Well, if it was mandated nationwide, we wouldn't have any lower cetane diesel to compare it to, so it's hard to say. :D But all things being equal, it should be about 2-5 cents a gallon more for 50 (or 60, for that matter) cetane than for 40 cetane. Backing up a tad, as to what it is, the...

    As I type this and then preview it before posting, I see that Xiggi has typed the exact same thing using just two sentences. Thaaaaanks Xiggi. :p There are a couple of issues in play that make the US and the European implementations of DPFs very different. One is the type of diesel used...

    That's because we are intimately familiar with the van segment of the industry and know fully well that in the current economy and van freight climate it would be a big mistake to enter expediting with a van. It wasn't all that long ago that these same people were helping others enter the...

    An UFO robbed a truck... true or false?

    It's a totally fake video and news report. It even says so in the description of the video on YouTube, and the comments there are hammering him for posting fake crap. His response is to come to his Facebook page where you will find a cornucopia of wild and strange unexplained phenomena. (One of...

    Mercedes Recall

    Far as I know. Mercedes, anyway, doesn't void a warranty for any off-the-shelf fuel additives, especially for additives with just naptha, toluene and paraffins, since those are in nearly all diesel fuel additives, anyway. Power Service has those things, plus Hydroxy Alkoxylate (detergent...

    A Blustery Day

    The $4000 includes painting it, and everything that goes on or in the door (windows, trim panels, handles, lock, everything). Still, even the dealer list price for the 02-06 Sprinter door shell is only $1300 ($800 from Berry (not called Berry anymore). Add in the painting, and the labor to R&R...

    Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant is in Forked River. Exelon. I think it's address is technically Lanoka Harbor, but that's it. About a mile north of the plant on Hwy 9 is a Walmart. You'll want to get as close as you can, because traffic on Hwy 9 is just stoopid congested, especially during the...
