I usually park in a J as well.Shade trees are great, and truckstops need more of them in all areas of parking.I want to devise a type of portable, removable, canopy that can be attached to the side of the van temporarily.It would provide a nice shaded area and protection from the rain while the...

East Cleveland? Are you kidding me? That place is like Disneyland compared to some other places.Prospect ave being known as the street with all the hookers is a thing of the past.I ran local freight there all times of the day and never had a problem whatsoever there.Even the westside has been...

I am quickly realizing that sometimes, in many ways, the mom and pop co's are not the best place to be.Many of these mom and pop co's are known as "bottom feeders", mainly living off of the scraps from the other co's. But what happens when things are slow, and the big co's have no scraps to hand...

Thanks for the link on the rear bar, that was my next question on where to get one, the best manufacturer as well as the best place to get it. Thanks.

I had to make the same exact decision when I bought my van.I wanted durablity and dependability and the 7.3 is known for that.Read last months issue of Diesel Power magazine found at the Flying J and it explains the many problems with the 6.0.It will make you glad you didnt have one.Some had...

I just got done replacing the front stabilizer bar bushings on my 2003 Ford E-350 van. And let me tell you, what a difference it made!! It took about 2 hrs to do this, and worth every minute of it.Autozone has a Polyurethane swaybar set for $25.99, made by energy suspension out of California...

You ever hear of Tootsie's bar and grill in Nashville? That is where a ton of aspiring country singers go to play for free in hopes of being discovered by some of the scouts that frequent that bar. The place is legendary,and is on Broadway in downtown Nashville, behind the old- Grand old opry.I...

Happy Birthday, OVM. And now for the question: Are you really going to enjoy those spankings ? LOL.

Yes, you're correct, it is time to go after the four -wheelers while enforcing trucks also.But Law Enforcement knows that trucks are an easy target for revenue because most truck drivers are from out of state and don't want to be bothered with showing up in court to fight the ticket.They'd...

I know it wasnt me!!!!! Been in service since Tuesday and still at the house!!! But they say they are busy!!! Running out of things to do at the house... getting dish pan hands...Getting bored....lol

As far as generators are concerned, I was at Harbor Freight last night just killing time, and I saw a nice generator that could fit on the passenger side floorboard when not in use. It was like a 1,200 watt. But make sure you know what youre wattage is for the block heater is.The generator was...

It doesnt matter what a person drives, regulated or not.There are so many co's out there that let a driver run the way they want to, just as long as the book looks good.In the past I loaded in Nag's Head, N.C., and ran straight thru to Hayward, Ca, slept 5 hours, and then loaded in Fremont,Ca...

Another thing I forgot to point out was that it may be a good idea to have the e-track on top of the channels so there is space under the e-track for the strap ends to go into, also.Luckily, I tried this both ways, and it works better with the e-track on top of the ridges/channels.

I dont have my dog with me now, and I dearly miss him.There just isnt enough room for him in the van, and I know he misses it dearly.He has been in the truck since he was a puppy. He is a doberman/manchester terrier mix, about 35# full grown, and I can honestly say he is the best dog I have seen...

I don't think it will look stupid, as well as it is funtional and works. I have 53" between my wheel wells, and have the distance between the two rows of e-track close to 24", so I can strap down small as well as large skids.I placed my e-track on top of the ridges,so I can weld the sides of the...

Something of reasonable size and well-trained to be good with people as well as protective.I know of a driver that has 2 airedale's in his truck. These dogs are huge.I mean, c'mon, who needs 2 huge dogs in a truck? Or there was a M.S. Carriers driver I ran in to that had (get this) 12 poodles in...

Re: log book I was the first actual van my company leased.Their insurance company wants me to keep logs, not them. I think in a van, running hard, it could get someone in trouble. But as I learned in the previous post to this thread, I will not be signing on the like anymore.

Mine says NON-CATALYST on it.Might as well ask this question.What type of brake pads are best? Metallic or Ceramic? I had a set of metallic from Napa and I was told that ceramic was the best, so I exchanged them for ceramic.I also put new rotors from Napa on also.It's been so long since I did...

Even with the most pleasent and cooperative attitude,there seemed to always be a problem of some sort getting back into my own country.So now when signing on with a country that goes to Canada, I stress that I will not go and if it comes down to either go or leave, I'll pull the stickers off of...

At the house in service since Tues morning.Replaced the rear pads and rotors on the van, installed a crank up roof vent. Cut the grass today and did yard work as well as wash the van, had a load offer but it didnt happen.Hopefully something happens on Weds.
