    need help with manifests

    Not sure on the answer, but I know the weights always seem to be off. Usually the manifest is on the plus side ie 400lbs for a skid that weighs 200 I would hope they don't go off the manifested weight, because alot of places don't scale their skids and just estimate

    van plywood floor.. how to and other ???

    Here's an idea albeit more expensive. Goto any auto sound store and buy a product like Dynamat(that's just one brand name). It is very thin but deadens the sound. Not sure about insulation value. But most stereo installers use it to keep the vehicle from sounding like a tin can. I have used...

    I just see dollars going down the toilet every day I am sitting. Straight trucks cost more then vans, so I lose more when sitting. I guess vans have the advantage of less daily fixed cost. Gonna be a small settlement this week unless I get a OTR job.:eek: Just when It seemed I was getting a...

    tires, road hazard certificates???

    Remember discount offers free flat repairs and free rotation and balance every 5000 or so miles. Not sure if you need the certificate for the rotation and balance. Flat repairs are free to anyone even if your tires weren't bought from them. I always get the road hazard, but the roads here are...

    gas engine 1st oil change and subsequent

    I'd go by what the owners manual says. I usually go by the severe maintenance schedule(that's just me). And if the vehicle didn't run synthetic from the factory and you want to run it the 1st oil change is fine. I think nowadays the engine tolerances are so close that break in's are a thing...
