I think if it was my decision to work for a fleet owner,I'd take the 40% and let the owner pay for the fuel.It seems so difficult for the fsc to keep up with the fuel prices.And chasing loads and idling comes out of your pocket also, so it can get expensive waiting for a load when times are...

So does this mean I should consider selling my body to pay the bills? lol.Don't worry, once I am ready to come back out there,then I'll be the one crying bigtime.

I do appreciate the wealth of info from everybody here.Just got back from the alignment shop which is supposed to be reputable.They inspected it and told me I needed both tie rods,centerlink,and a drivers side wheel bearing.but when I replaced the front springs last week I checked everyting and...

Good morning, everyone! I was on the phone with the license bureau on saturday,and I was surprised to find out that my van needs to get an e-check done,(emissions) even though it is a diesel.Anyone have to go through this? And I guess i need to run truck plates on it,because my only other choice...

Good evening, everyone!! Please forgive me for not knowing how to start a new thread.But I was wondering if any cargo van drivers that have a e-350 extended wheelbase with a 7.3 diesel engine tell me what the empty weight of your van may be, full of fuel. The gvw of mine is 9,400, with a empty...

and all of the large carriers trucks get quarantined because of the swine flu..

yea, whats up with the idea of ford putting a battery underneath there? i couldnt believe it when i finally found battery #2.

he's back!!!!!!!

Yea, I was kinda wondering where they have went to.I do miss reading his knowedgeable replies to questions.It just doesnt seem the same here without him.Any longer,and we may see his picture on a milk carton.

I'll bring the captain morgan and ribs!!!

Green acres is the place to be......farm living is the life for me....

Still at home going on week 3. I just dont have the motivation to go back out,and taking my time setting up the van.I never realized how much I miss home till I have been here awile.Starting to feel like a normal person again.May should be a better month for everybody out there.Hang in...

truth of the matter is, most s/t o/o's are 1 breakdown away from bankruptcy.It is far easier to come up with a lesser amount for a van repair than to go and ask for a loan for a repair on a s/t.Last weekend I replaced the front springs in my van.So easy, we could do this in the lot of a flying...

The way I was figuring is like this- c-15 water pump $1,200 min. Van-$200.00? 10 wheeler plates-$900.00 Van-$100.00? c-15 oil change-$250.00 Van-$70.00...

Situations such as that makes me love my small carrier that much more.

The cost difference between a s/t and a van are huge.but the pay difference is really not that much of a difference.I am basing this on what I have been offered in my 10-wheeler at 1.10 a mile versus possible van rates of .85cpm.

I am sorry to hear that things are not working out for you.But please remember that you are not the only one.And I know excactly where you are coming from.I parked my truck about 2 weeks ago and bought a cargo van.But I got a call from a freind who asked me to work for him locally so I might go...

So I guess admitting that Wilma and Betty from the Flintstones wearing those short little skirts creating some major liftoff for me would'nt help matters much, either.

I am so curious as to why not buy one of these spinner ll oil centrifuge.I have one on my class 8 and love it.It has been on since new, and there have been no problems for the last 875,000 miles.It must be doing something right, 70 psi oil pressure at highway speeds since new, and hasnt dropped...

I bought my 2003 e-350 van from ryder a couple of weeks ago.I could not be more happier.On my way home from Wisconsin where I picked it up from,the idler pulley come apart and I was able to get off to the side of the road. I called Nancy in Oak Creek, Wi to tell her of the problem, and one of...
