    the seven people you meet at expo

    Imagine that. I was really looking forward to talking to them,seeing what they had to offer. Years ago I used to haul their overflow freight (Towne Airfreight)from Cleveland to JFK 3 times a week. They were a pleasure to work for back then.

    Maybe next year I'll wear something alot louder, like a bright flourescent shirt with my name on it.lol.That would create some conversation.The Elvis guy on stilts was getting on my nerves a little bit.Hard to concentrate on the conversation with All-State with this tall dude going by every few...

    the seven people you meet at expo

    I was surprised that more carriers werent there, such as Landstar,Rocket, just to name a few. I was also surprised that Expeditor Services were not there, either.I did talk to Express 1, and was dissapointed to find out that they require vans to be 2 years old and newer.I think the no-apyment...

    Automatic Tire Chains

    While they are a great idea, and I have seen many school buses with them as well, check with your carriers insurance co. to see if they insure you in case of an accident while chained up.Some do not,Such as my carriers insurance co, claiming it is a preventable accident when chains are on a...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    I am going by what my restriction gauge is showing, and the fact that I cant see daylight through the filter anymore, even after shaking it out. What did the Doe say as she came out of the woods? I'll never do that for two bucks again.

    I was able to make it on Saturday, my first time ever.Although I regret not meeting with anyone on here, but I felt kinda funny staring at everyone's badge reading names.I know, it sounds like a copout and all.I was the guy in the green hawaian shirt with black jeans with my girlfreind.I take...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    Yea, but is this in a s/t or a van? Sounds like a s/t to me, that's when I would change my airfilter on my s/t.

    Recovering my stuff

    I can see where you are coming from by not wanting to take the time to deal with taking someone to court.I have done the same thing myself,and unfortunately, this is what the other party is hoping for, that we wont feel like dealing with it, so they can get away with it.(the theft of whatever)

    Sterling, Hino, M2 or C112 straight truck

    Sure, no problem, going to bed for awile, going to give the girlfreind a few dutch ovens...(farting under the covers and pulling the covers over her head...a sure sign of true love.)

    Sterling, Hino, M2 or C112 straight truck

    If the price was right, and if I could get a cummins 8.3 in it,if it were a class 7.The 4-valve per cylinder cummins 8.3 315 hp was a great engine, decent fuel mileage, and reliable as well as cheap and easy to fix.I am not too crazy about the 3126,or c-7 cat, even though I had one, and it is...

    Sterling, Hino, M2 or C112 straight truck

    Sterling, Hino, M2 or C112 straight truck

    Okay,This is killing me. Why not just find/order a proper straight truck for the job?Too many times I read/hear how some people buy a s/t spec'd wrong for the job, and spend serious $$ to make it fit their application. And as far as Sterling goes,definately a better truck than Freightliner...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    I would think it would be easier and more convenient for most to be able to attend this over a weekend,not on a Fri and Sat,therefore taking away 1 day from available work.But I do appreciatte what Mr.Lawrence has done, and this is a great opportunity for anyone to attend,so many positive...

    It sounds great!!! As far as the Expo goes,it is still up in the air if I am going or not.Will not be able to make it on Fri, but maybe Sat.It's about 250 miles one way from the house,so I am not sure whether or not I want to spend 8 hours total driving time for part of a day.But I have not been...

    Gas milage on a 1 ton ext Ford?

    In my E-350 extended Ford I can carry 2 full-size skids only because I wanted a separate sleeper from the cargo area at all times.It has a 30" bed with a full bulkhead, insulated, airtight, all walls.But by doing this, I added alot of weight to the van.When I first started in this business in...
