Depending on the size box it may have on it, why not just build a sleeper with cab access in it and expedite with it? I would think you may have a better chance at freight thana sprinter or a cargo van.But, as I have learned the hard way, freight is slow for vans right now, at least where I am...

So let me ask a few questions that have stemmed from the previous posts.Does PTL hire only straight trucks at this time? The problem I have with some companies is that they claim to be a 100% o/o fleet, but come to find out, some of their fleet owners are actually people that work in the office...

If I remember correctly, Landstar has a policy against their BCO's parking on any ramp,exit or entrance. They call it their "sitting duck policy" and is properly named.I tried to sleep on a ramp a few times, and couldnt sleep too well, with traffic whizzing by, and the fact that ramps are rarely...

So, you used to work at Brink's......That explains alot.....new truck...etc...lol.

It was waferboard that I used on the bulkhead, 1",side wall,1/4",ceiling,1/4" floor,1/2" and side doors, 1/4" with foamsheet insulation on the sidewalls, ceiling, and doors.Floor of cargo area is 3/4" plywood, stained and poyurethaned. lol.

What good is the "revenue per week" thinking if a driver has a ton of miles accumulated for minimal pay? Eventually he will go bankrupt,because his cost per mile will be higher than his pay per mile, because he is deadheading everywhere chasing loads to get that "revenue per week".

Kinda sounds like when a husband may come home from a night out with the boys and the wife locks him out of the house....lol..

Teamcaffee, while I was at the Expo admiring your truck, it appeared to me you already had all the bells and whistles.If a new product/improvement comes out in the market, why not just add it to your already heavily-equipped truck, instead of purchasing a new one? Youre truck still looks like new.

I was extremely surprised to get a cheaper price on rotors from napa 68.00, and 95.00 from autozone.

I knew you local airfreight guys were kinky and not right....lol.

A gigolo? With the way freight is, that may not be a bad idea.But velcroing the cb to the dash does work,And the best velcro I have found is at WAl-Mart in the crafts section.Use the industrial strength.

That's who I took it to, and they couldnt figure it out, either.

Thanks for the info. I have to say, it is getting louder, to the level that it sounds like I have a blower under the hood.I do get some funny looks from people.

That is probably why I am only getting 19.6,My empty weight is 7,500, with a gvw of 9,400.

Thanks, Greg.Is this external,and is this something I can do myself? Is this similar to the huei system found on a cat 3126?

Also, has anyone ever cleaned their cooling tubes on the condenser as well as the radiator, and anythiing else that cools on the front of a truck/van? Most hardware stores sell a/c condenser cleaner that you spray on the cooling components and hose off. use a garden hose, not a pressure washer...

Has anyone tried using detroit radiator as a supplier for a/c condensers? They claim to be better made than original. I bought a radiator for my sterling, with a metal one, replacing the original plastic one. a very nice radiator.

I'd love to get 22-25 out of my 03. The highest I have got was 19.8, of course, I dont have cruise control, either.

If only I would of know the statistics on the wood weight. I used all particle board, 1" thick for the bulkhead,1/2 for the floors. My E-350 has an empty weight of 7,500 as it sits now.With a gvw of 9,400#

Dakota, back in the old days lot lizards used to use hand-held cb's to conduct business while on foot....Please tell me this is not your intention, trying to make money in this fashion.....lol.
