Someday I will have to buy you lunch (along with Ragman & Moot)! Again, keep comming with the input.

ALSO - What rooftoop AC units can you reccomend? (3500 ext Transit)

INVERTERS? How much can I run for several hours on an inverter and what size is needed to run a laptop, a few cahrging ports for power tools and a mico? None of it in continuous use except the laptop at night? I was thinking 1000 watts pure sine?

OK You & Moot have convinced me that I need to take a longer look at the 350 EXT . NOW - how do y'all feel about gas vs. diesel ??

OK - Anyone have an opinion about BOLT?

So are you and Ragman saying that a gas powered generator, chained up OUTSIDE the truck is the best way to power all the "luxury"? Foirget about inverters powered off the battery?

Just did my DOT physical, what a pain, but I passed. One step closer to the road. Again, thanks for the advice. An opinion or two here would be great.......Talking to a couple carriers, 60% of the load + 100% of the FSC, or a mileage rate WITH the FSC approx. $1.10 (variable of course). What...

Valid points Moot. I guess that makes it a moot point!!! If I go to the 350 I would consider the "extra long" for added living space, still under 10K, but, would that extra length add CURB weight and negate the added load carrying? Any 3500 owners out there?

Kool........saw this picture, thought of you Dave Barry quote

Thank You. It's a major lifestyle change, one that I feel I will enjoy, but, romance doesn't make you money, research does! Unless, of course, you're a lizard. Here is a question that is not important: I have seen lots of posts advising about ways to stay warm in the winter. How do van...

I have selected five and plan on calling ASAP. In response to (2) questions - haven't purchased a vehicle yet. Again, researching - leaning towards the 2500 Transit high top, long wheelbase, eco-boost 6. Can't see where a 3500 carries that much extra payload to justify the added expense. It...

Thank you. All input is welcome. Any chance someone might help me narrow the possibilities to four or five at the most? Like: Panther, Bolt, ________, ________, or ________. Also, in looking I see some companies call out a "rate per mile" while some offer up a "percentage" of the job. Why...

OK, I have had some conversation, read a lot of threads in this and other forums on this site - many were informative AND entertaining. The consensus is that as a "newbie" I should take my Cargo Van and go directly to sign up with a major player, like Panther, and let them teach me. So, can...

By gross $1500 I mean what I receive before I deduct truck payment, insurance, fuel, taxes, etc., which will probably eat up 2/3 of that money every week??

I am working thru the process getting into expediting, not necessarily for the money, but money is necessary. First, as an O/O of a 3/4 Ton cargo van what can I really expect? If I work at it can I make $1500/wk consistently? I have gotten a lot of input and the one thing that most confuses me...
