    Sprinter Service

    My $.02 on changing oil is that it's not a big deal to do it once. It's when you do it often that it's a problem. I think the availability of Rotella would make it worthwhile. Free food? I'm there, dude!!!

    Sprinter Service

    TJ, from reading your recent posts it sounds like your doing better than you were when we met at the J. Where did you end up? Also, I talked to a guy who had a late '04 model and he said that the requirement for synthetic had been droppped. He was using Rotella. I 2nd LDB on carrying filters...

    Sprinter Question

    5k is a bit of overkill. With expediting being allmost all highway miles, I find that 40k seems to be enough. I get up to 200k out of a set of Good Years.

    Canada Fast

    Cheri, are you with the 2 headed cat? I've heard that they are not yet FAST approved. Maybe Davekc or someone can confirm that.

    Canada New border crossing

    The trucks are only going through Windsor because they have to get to the bridge. The vast majority are'nt stopping for much more than a cup of Timmies, and most of them are getting that in Tilbury. I think business would gladly trade a few ocasional customers so their regulars could get in and...

    Spec'ing the Expedite Truck

    What if Andy Warhol and Peter Max designed it? You would be driving a Campbells soup can with a rainbow and stars for a box. Whoa!! Everybody run! Her come the topic cops!

    Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO genera

    RE: Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO ge I have a Powerstroke and I never used my block heater until last winter when my glow plugs began to go away. It would sometimes sit 2 or 3 days in the Alpena, Mi. cold and fire up no problem. Now, I need about 45 minutes of block heater to get...

    Question about issues

    I would like to see Bill of Ladings standardized and simplified. Only the basic info that's needed, and worded so you know what is actually on your truck. No abbreviations. Consignee phone number and local directions from nearest interstate or major road. Early in my illustrious expediting...

    You gotta give mad respect to the lowly ottoman. Somehow it ended up with its own empire.

    Canada New border crossing

    I would normally NEVER think about disagreeing with Bryan. Having said that... When you see the amount of truck traffic backed up when it's busy, I think you would very quickly end up with a jamed up service center. The Monroe crossing would take half the trafffic around the city. The staging...

    Canada New border crossing

    An international group is suggesting another one between Detroit(Kwame again? You've got to be kidding me!) and Windsor. I kind of like the idea of one downriver around Monroe. Take some of the pressure off the cities. The problem would be what it would take to hook it to the 401, but I would...

    Spec'ing the Expedite Truck

    Davekc, are you suggesting that I could end up with T.O. in my truck telling me how pathetic I am and how great he is? And then, making a lame apology because his agent said he should? That would NOT be cool!!

    What's a thread?

    This thread may be short-lived. Once terryandrene speak on a subject, there's not much more that needs to be said.;-)

    Satellite radio

    I'm about to take a Sirius leap. I'm probably going to do the $500 one-time deal. The only thing giving me pause on that is that they limit you to 3 transfers of your subscription to a new unit. If you have bad luck with defective units or theft this could be an issue. They used to not transfer...
