bearcat44, at least one of those companies is not putting on ANY vans, sprinter or otherwise, right now. I will not name it but i know a couple folks who were ready to go to orientation there and told the friday before that no new vans were being taken on. now you may say why are the...

the j in whiteland in was real nice. they gave me and my wife a set of towels each(thats 4 towels total) and only charged us for 1 shower. otoh i have found most pilots have counter personnel that are disinterested and generally just doing a job. there is always a line at the fuel desk if...

18 kerrect.

the other big news is that after it snows it will get c-o-l-d. down to 0 here in wi and 5 above near chicaga. warnings of artic blasts and stay in doors warnings. cover up and wear layers if you are going out advice. gee did it never get cold anywhere before anytime before tonite? sheesh...

thanks. been to al twice on 75 and never encountered the scale on 20. been thinking of downsizing.

how does that work if you do not have cable or a dish? can i get the fuzzy bunny ear channels? never mind i will just watch whatever i have dl on my ipod.

so does a van have to log just for the time in al or the last 7-8 days also? there are no hos for under 10,000# so what are they looking for exactly, a vir and vpir for the last 7 days? the pro number?

what turtle said. i belong to the vw tdi forum and they also say the k&n will increase your air flow but allow unwanted particulates into the engine. like turtle said not so bad for gassers but potential for expensive repairs in diesels. if you need hp then get it chipped or get bigger nozzles.

shift into 1 and let the truck roll. then shift again. continue until top gear is reached. this sounds like short shifting to me but a rose by any other name......

here is another story, my first weekend at a truckstop. i watch the flatbed pull in and this elderly driver gets out and turns around and inspects his drives for maybe 45 sec to a minute. i am facing him and already know what is happening. then he takes his little doggie out of the cab and...

tuesday nite i was in transit from auburn in to lafayette on ind 24. sometime after logansport the road goes down into the low lands and there were a few signs stating high water on road. at one such site there was indeed the river next to the road and water racing like rapids downhill and...

i saw something the other day that looked like an aerocell srw but it had "siegal" imprinted on the bumper cap.

you can't legally. hos is 11 drive hours in 14 hrs on duty and 10 in the sleeper. recently revised to 8 in sleeper and 2 in front seat but you have to make up the 2 somewhere else. before the fmcsa changed the hos teams could 5 and 5 with regularity.

dam---!! maybe i am in the wrong truck.!?

haven't been driving long but 600-10k# has been my experience and most about 3K. had one load that coverred the floor but weighed 6k#. had another that was 10K but was 5 skids down the center of the floor.

most of the egr problems i have read about here only relate to the sprinter mb engine and not the big truck engines. how will the truck be spec-ed for that 285 hp engine? will it be single or dual axle? what is the torque? i have a 300hp engine in the truck i have and find it sufficient for...

indydad, i have that happen in my d. when the weather is cold the apu keeps me warm. that cold weekend in indy a couple weeks back must have created ice in the overhead where the radios are located. after a few minutes driving with the defroster running there was a flow of water from under the...
