    Why do Christian drivers...

    Yup. When in doubt, go to the owners manual.

    Former drivers

    I retired a little more than a year ago. The main reason was pressure from my family. Business was really bad and it was real hard to justify being gone all the time incuring expenses for very little or no income. I dragged my feet but my wife and daughter kept at it until I gave in. I work...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    I suppose some of them are Democrats but mostly I'm talking about people who have a pre-concieved opinion or notion about something but have limited experience or knowledge about it. Still, even though they don't participate, they have a need to set up the rules and standards for the other guy...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    Why is it that people who are not christians want to make up the rules for the people who are? Whats up with that???? People are very flawed even christian people. I know there are a few people out there who think they aren't flawed and are perfect but they probably aren't christians even if...

    Michigan illegally harassing CVs?

    There is a state cop who is enforcing this out of the Kalamazoo area. It seems to be one of his pet peeves. He does not confiscate phones though. He did pull over the van registered to the company I work for part time (paint and body supply) but he got the other guy. All he did was issue a...

    Your favorite movie

    Hmmmm, I suspect the test is not accurate since a movie titled, " The Joy of Passionate Sex With a Goat", does not appeal to me at all. I sorta leaned toward those spagetti westerns myself.

    Good versus bad

    I worked for what I would consider a bad owner but I was protected by the contract I signed. Ya, he dragged his feet and tried to avoid his responsibilities but in the end he signed the contract so he had to comply. The best advice is always the same every time. Get a contract, read it and do...

    Yep, you CAN paint ceramic tile!

    Arrrghhhh .... As they say in one of my favorite movies, "he who would pun would pick a pocket". Now I have a headache because you made me think. Typical of when you overuse an unused muscle.

    Sprinter or similiar, can you make a living?

    My Sprinter went over 300,000 before it started to get expensive to own. I think a Chevy or Ford would do as well and cost less to repair. It's all a matter of what you want. I wanted the standing headroom and the ability to haul more volume. Remember though, liking to drive and driving for a...

    CV and Sprinter Drivers: Would you still drive

    I'd sure have to take a long look at it. I have had both and the van is just so much easier when you're empty and waiting between loads. You can go anywhere and stay under the radar. Lots of resturaunts and other entertainment businesses take a dim view of a strait truck in the lot. The people...

    Heading out into Expediting the 13th. Any advice?

    Head strait to Michigan. Any other state will be real skeptical about all those axles. Why do you think we have such crummy roads? Oh, and at least 20' of that 30' should be a sleeper with a sauna and a hot tub.

    Feedback: LDB's Experimental thread

    I'm sure this is a little off topic and a bit obvious, but I don't think I'd be a moderator for love or money. Nope .. nada .. uh uh .. no way.

    What do you know?

    I had someone show me once but I have never had to do it. It's been so long now that I probably wouldn't do it right.

    going back into expedite

    Nope, that stuff didn't happen to my sprinter until between 290,000 and 323,000.

    My diet progress...

    I'm inspired. I have been off the road about a year now and have lost about 25 lb. just from the change in lifestyle. Now I'm stalled and hanging in there at about 50 lb. over what for me would be ideal. You have inspired me to new efforts in getting myself back into some kind of shape other...

    my game plan.what do you vanners think?

    I know people who have sat home waiting for a load for 9 days in a row or more. I personally think they should have changed carriers but that takes time and costs money too. I have had weeks that didn't break 1000 miles as well. The thing is, nothing will replace good old fashioned working...

    Calling all pet owners!

    A restricted site for pet owners? Gimme a break, next it will be spaniels only and then poodles only. I find myself agreeing with the shelled one on this one. So you have a great dog and he dies of old age or boredom. Would you have a grace period until you find a suitable replacement? Could you...

    Birthday! Happy birthday to me

    Happy happy birthday, Happy happy birthday, Etc. ... Man... There are people on here that are older than me and many just as old. What happens to this business when all the old duffers pull the plug and go for the rocking chair?
