I was just thinking, you said when you were young the wipers worked better. Could it be because the windsheilds were flat and not curved?

I notice also the blades don't last as long, but then again I moved from San Diego, Ca to Fort Wayne, In wiper blades really aren't a big concern in San Diego When you say winter blade are you talking about the ones that have the frame wrapped or the newer ones that have no frame? For...

Walmart also sells T-shirts with Obama's picture on the front

It's LIMBO time let's see how low they can go LOL

That is assuming the van has a sealed bulkhead

Hey Scott, At Brinks we would preload trucks with coin and seal them up in the warehouse for the driver/messengers the next morning Since all employees had access to the building and truck key. That way when the messenger inspected the truck he could see no one opened the door. I guess a...

If you have to shut your truck down and it's -20 out how do you get it restarted? If no plug ins are around

Lots of places use the tape especially for cargo vans that have no place for a seal. We used the tape at Brinks when we loaded the trucks. If you tamper with the seal you will be able to see it

Guess I didn't type fast enough, Moot beat me too it :D

Two suggestions, not sure if they will work 1)Bug & Tar remover---found at any auto parts store Sold as liquid or in Airesol can In Indiana we have lots of gravel roads and to keep the dust down they coat them with oil. Made a mess of my van. 2.)Goo Gone--- test on paint in an...

Point taken, Think I will stick to a day cab to start and move to a sleeper if need be

I still see the trucks and drivers out here in Indiana. I thought they closed up shop also. All I know is we are going to have a glut of yellow sprinter vans soon LOL

What's wrong with Hino? From what i hear they get great mileage and are dependable(Hino is Toyota). Also how are the Chevy Kodiak trucks or the Ford F650's? I can get plenty of information on Freightliner and International but seem to hit a wall on the other trucks available. Is there any...

Unfortunately, "Sulley" will have to retire in three years. He is 57 years old and has mandatory retirement at age 60. I think they should look at physical health and not age. Hopefully his talents will be put to good use, maybe in the FAA or as a teacher. Personally, I'd rather have him...

Excuse my ignorance and getting off the subject, but what is a comdata card and how does it work?

Someone was reading the archives. I have brought up old threads accidentally

Cool, just didn't want you to mess up the washer system in your truck. Also, I believe years ago when they used a different ink in the newspapers, it would actually polish the windshield. Now they use soy ink mostly so it probably doesn't work the same, but the paper is still good for cleaning.

Great, that might be a good alternative for me since I'd only be out occasionally. I don't really want to invest in a condo for two nights out per week.

I think but am not positive you just pour the coke on the windsheild, cleans the bugs an gunk off good. I don't think you add it to the resevoir. It would go flat in there anyways. Just don't want you to add a can of coke in there. Correct me if I am wrong. Also, an old firefighter trick...

I like the new wiper blades that don't have any pressure points especially in snow and ice. They are kinda pricey though and don't last much longer than the regular wipers. I might run regular in the Spring and Summer and the pricey ones in the winter
