Chris, My radio is mounted on the ceiling, center line, by windshield. I don't recomend doing it unless you have owner's permission.. but Ford vans have a 'bubble' in the sheetmetal there, that with EXTREME care, can be drilled thru and using SHORT sheet metal screws, the radio can be mounted...

That would be nice... Dale

Wish mine was easy to change :mad:... the fuel filter on the 7.3 is near impossible to reach in a van. You have to come in thru the back, remove turbo shield, airbox, all kinds of crap... takes mechanic over an hr each time.. no way would I want to do it the side of the road. Better to...

billebob My van is diesel, so I would assume similar principles apply... right after I got it, I ran some Cleaner thru it, thinking I was doing a good thing.. almost immediately the filter clogged. According to what I was told by my mechanic, if it has not been regularly done, there will be...

Yeah, I would rather see healthier stuff, than all you can eat. I'm a big guy, but have lost a 'bit' :cool:.. and I'd love to see truck stop restaurants offer smaller portioned, healther fare. I ate at a T/A the other night, got a sandwich and fries, waitress kept coming back asking if I...

Joe, Glad to see you back on here! Dale

I've been asked several times lately about how much I'm making.. usually by other van drivers. Some were trying to find out if they should jump to FedEx, and others were FedEx drivers. I gave the FedEX drivers a 'general' range, and they seemed relieved... seems everyone thinks they're the...

** sigh** Ok.. we got wacks, and jacks, and turds, and other assorted oddballs in this one... Gonna lock it folks.. Back to your regularly scheduled program. Dale

It's only worth the time if: 1. You want to have face to face time with recruiters from many companies without sitting on the phone for hours. 2. You want to see lots of new trucks and vans, sleepers, equipment, etc... 3. You want to have face to face time with other expediters and...

OK folks, as most know, there is always three sides to every story. We have now been informed of 'The Rest of the Story"... and I don't understand why the original poster was even involved.. as it had nothing to do with him. This thread is now locked, as it is serving no purpose but to...

Sorry Greg, this was mostly tongue in cheek of course, but I've noticed that some act like vets at a year, then some are still considered dumb newbies at 6 or 7 years... LOL. Maybe it's all in the tires you use :confused: Dale

After reading a "few" posts over the last 10 years, I'm still confused about a few things. At what point do you go from Newbie, to being recognized as Veteran. Is it 2 years? 5 years? 15? Do you have to own your own truck to be a veteran? How many years do you have to survive to be considered...

Hey, I like me and so do I.. and I'm really ok with that too. Dale (and me too) :p

It's worse in a van! People will run after you in a parking lot, trying to flag you down yelling "WAIT..WAIT!!! " LOL. I've even had people pull up beside me, roll down their windows, and ask if I'd been to their house yet, cuz they think they 'just missed me'.. "No... but you're cute...

Thanks! I think...

Well, THIS FedEX'er is snooty because my white van is better than your white van.. wait... ok.. my bandana is better than... wait... no.. my pony tail is longer than... ok.. wait.. Dang it.. .maybe I just wanna be snooty! I like FedEX because .. um... they give me money, it's on time...

Greg, That is a thought, but everytime it has been suggested, a few controversial people always spaz out citing privacy rights, etc... so not I just check behind the scenes if I suspect multiple ID's, and if it's obvious, I drop them a PM, and inform them to pic a name and stick with it. You...

Finally... exclusive use! Wait... You ever get the feeling there's a breakdown in communication? :rolleyes:

OK, think that's enough on this one, pre-emptive discressionary lock before this one get's any worse! Movin on :) Dale

CM, Best of luck healing! I know it sucks to be out of the truck for something beyond your control! Dale
