If it was taken care of properly from the beginning there shouldnt be any worries.Have you ever ran some lucas in it as well from the beginning? I swear by that stuff, even run it in my lawn tractor.Tha Motokote additive supposedly works real well also.Used it once on an old Ford L-8000 I...

There was a Dodge dealer from Columbus.Oh there with a sprinter that had a Midway sleeper conversion in it.It was really nice, but I was dissapointed in the width as well.I was under the misunderstanding that a Sprinter was wider than a standard cargo van, Such as my Ford.But I found out...

I was going to say, from what I have been hearing on here, and from people I have been talking to,July was a great month, some going as far as to say better than last July.

Who, as in meaning, driver/owner-operator, or the person who streched the frame, etc?

Yes, I know where you're coming from and saying.I wonder if the gov't will help them out or not.(YRC)

You know who I feel sorry for? The guys who are close to retirement.Just like the guys at Consolidated Freight.Working all those years for a comfortable retirement and then so close, and then-nothing.It used to be that a union job was the way to go,but not anymore.

I prefer Church's and Popeye's myself.

Broompilot, put a leash on that dog. You mentioned it had worked on Volvos, and that you had one also. Well, that's all good, but when did Volvo start making cargo boxes? That is what Phil has been talking about, for the most part.As far as I know,different cargo box/sleeper/truck manufacturers...

You are absolutely right, Moot. It is a ford cutaway with a fiberglass body put on it. They just took off the 2 outer wheels to give it that cargo van look, and maybe, the gvw.

They do have their own customers as well, dont rely exclusively on the nlm board, and ptm is owned by yellow/roadway exact express.I talked to them at the expo, and they claim they dont do much nlm anymore.They do have a couple salesman as well.Worth a call. newer company-owned trailers with...

You are correct, Greg.I still entertain the idea of a built-in box sleeper or buying a shell of a box of whatever size to do the inside myself.Alot cheaper, and the quality will be there, depending on how far a person is willing to go.A 30' box with a 10' sleeper built in would make for a nice...

You run local and/or freight in the tri-state area, right? So youre saying freight is slow in the local market as well? Does anyone run a van for All-state? I was talking to them at the Expo about the van. Just wondering how vans are actually doing there.I used to be leased to them years...

No, No problem with tall dudes at all, but this Elvis guy was like 12 ft tall, or close to it.My girlfreinds 20-year old son is 6'9 tall, so I have an idea how tall you are.Ever consider a career in drywall hanging? lol.

Anyone think about kareoke? Phil and I could sing along to some song like Macho Man by the Villiage people or something like that.Just a funny thought, that's all.

I,as well,would also appreciate a copy of the seminar.Sorry I missed it as well.Thank you for believing in us.Dakota, you can send me one as well when you get permission, or let me know how to get it. Thanks.

In the past I have had Bentz. It was a decent sleeper, but sucked on poor wiring and minimum insulation.Fit and finish was okay, but cheap looking and feeling. I was at the expedite expo, and was completely impressed with the sleeper company Middle Georgia Freightliner uses. I think they told me...

Very beautiful work, Mr.Berry.Something to be proud of.

Okay, here is the way I set up my Ford van, after several tips from everyone on here. FLOOR- I welded 2-8 ft sections of e-track to the floor, spaced evenly apart,(24 inches) then screwed 3/4 inch regular plywood to the metal floor.Stained and polyurethaned. WALLS- There is 12 inches high...

These changes sound like it will be to our advantage in many ways.Thanks for the info !

I'm not even going to touch that one, but they would match my fine italian leather undies...lol.
