Vinyl wrap? Is that like saran wrap? lol.

Just as long as carriers recognize this and pay for the extra miles and allow for the extra time taken for the detour.

What can I say...At least I got alot of land cleared this summer, and lost some weight doing it....The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!!!! lol..

I was under the impression that glow plugs just heated the cylinders so it would start easier in the cold weather.

Okay...All you van drivers better have youre money saved uppp!!! Because who I am going to sign on with says I wont have time to sleep..Maybe I should get a u-haul trailer to pull behind the van so I can haul 2 loads at once...lol..It cant get much worse than where I am at, that's for...

Need more info as to why it wont start after it warms up. Does it crank? Any lights on the dash come on?

I used to install raised roofs on new vans for the handicapped to accomodate the wheelchair lifts, etc.Had to do several body lifts as well.One company that comes to mind that I know of is MC Mobility on Tyler Blvd in Mentor,Ohio 44060. It is not really hard to do, and any mechanically-inclined...

How is everyone getting such good fuel mileage out of their Ford vans?I dont race off of stop lights.Run additives, etc,real anal on all maintenance.Prettymuch baby the darn thing.

If it was available, and if they still made it,I'd get a E-350 with a 300 inline 6 cyl in it. That engine would pull a house off it's foundation.And last forever.There is alot of torque to these engines.

350 loaded miles this week,285 last week.I'm getting whipped from all of this driving.Divorcing this co next week......Time to move on....

Most, not all,trucks with springs in the rear, not air bags have no shocks.My K-W T-300 and Topkick had springride with no shocks.The K-W did actually ride pretty decent.I change mine every 75,000 miles.I am thinking about putting Monroe severe service shocks on the van. Ryder put new shocks on...

Or if you have you're own operating authority.

A big fine, yes, unless youre in a cargo van. Under the DOT scope on this.

I totally agree with you, Greg.I had 2 trucks with the 8.3, one mechanical, the other electronic.I loved them to death, and that is the only engine I would get in another straight truck.I also had a 3126 cat, and to say it was an expensive engine to fix would be an understatement.The water pump...

Let's be serious here. I don't think they intent to do a gang -bang all night-out right screwing to us intentionally. Maybe it would just be better decribed as a loving, caring "not tonight, dear" kind of neglect. After all, I would like to think they would realize that without the...

I have already been on both sides of the fence, doing this since 1989. And, yes, I prefer smaller co's as well.But when I talk to several drivers for the big co's, and they are running wide open,and I am sitting for four days at a time, then it begins to make one wonder about who they are leased...

To this day When Donald Trump finds a penny on a side walk or wherever, he is know to pick it up.

I have not found a company that really cares about the driver yet, and I most likely never will.How many times I have heard and experienced the same story of how a driver took a load, unloaded, called dispatch,only to be told "we never get freight out of that area".So why get the load in the...

That is a great price, LDB. I usually use Howe's in the winter, and Lucas in the summer. I havent had any problems yet.I am contemplating on getting my motor oil in 55 gal drums as well, to save $$.

As far as high pay per mile is concerned, most of my van loads pay close, if not over, $1.00 per mile.Sounds great, right? I had 1-280 mile load in the past week and a half, so does it sound so good now? No.So sometimes (I can't believe I am saying this, after preaching against this all these...
