    It's snowing in here!

    I hope everyone likes the changes. And there's a lot of them. New thread prefix for Polls, to make them stand out in the thread listing and so you can now see which threads have polls in them. The polls will now have a different look. Little icons have been added down at the bottom of messages...

    POLL Which Sprinter engine - 4 or 6 cylinder in your opinion.

    I did this to see if I could add a poll to an existing thread, which you can't do. But using a very kewl workaround it can be. Yay. :D

    Where's those Fedex logos?

    Nobody will have to call the police, the government will already have you surrounded and bomb sniffing dogs will have already sniffed the ass end of that cat. Then you'll be asked a few questions, and told to move.

    Star Wars the Force Awakens opens in a week and everyone in every galaxy between here and Far, Fay Away is looking forward to it. 7th grader Colton Southern is certainly one of those looking forward to the new installment in the Star Wars saga. He wore his new Star Wars shirt to school and...

    Where's those Fedex logos?

    You should do that parked across the street from the UN building in New York, at 5AM. Trust me on this, no one will think you're a government surveillance van. :D

    Becoming a Fleet Owner

    No doubt. Sometimes you look at these drivers, especially after talking with them, and it's like, wow. Wow. Being in a Sprinter I get to hang out with the cargo van drivers out front, and sometimes it's wow times 10. The ones who are driving their own vans are different (still crazy, mostly...

    Becoming a Fleet Owner

    From what I've observed, there is a world of difference between potential drivers of straight trucks and cargo vans. Because of the requirements for a CDL, logging, scaling and other FMCSA regulations, straight truck driver applicants seem to be more aware and serious about entering the industry...

    Social Media Off Limits to Immigration Officials

    Sorry, it doesn't get any less insane no matter how many times you read it. ...for looking at public information. Got it. Uhm, no.

    Camping supplies in your truck?

    Most 12-volt appliances that most of us come in contact with are Road Pro brands, which is owned by DAS Companies out of Palmyra, PA. They're made in China, cheaply. Not a fan. Resistive heat applications, like air conditioning, electric heating (including coffee makers and water boilers)...

    Camping supplies in your truck?

    I use a sleeping bag. RV type roof vent fan. Lamps and lanterns, coolers, portable toilets, camp stove, propane heaters, there are lots of camping and RV supplies that are popular out here. We have a lot in common with RVers, especially boondockers.

    Batteries Batteries

    Slather up the terminals (after you've made the connections) with something like white grease or Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly. That will virtually eliminate corrosion (unless you've got a cracked terminal).

    POLL Which Sprinter engine - 4 or 6 cylinder in your opinion.

    Don't make me look up the average prices of gasoline and diesel for every week between 2002 and 2012. The bulk of the study covers today's price points, post-2005, where diesel costs more than gas. It analyzed the total cost of ownership over 3 and 5 year periods, which is one of the reasons...
