I'm just sick of all the yard signs. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I would agree to pursue what you are owed. A written contract is always the way to go. A verbal is open to intrepretation and only has a value if both parties agree to what was spoken. The possibility of it changing when there is a disagreement or misunderstanding between parties is pretty high...

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is LDB is probably not far off. Alot of states are setting the ground work for logs in the smaller vehicles. Their target is vans and duallies pulling trailers commercially. Yes, Michigan is one of them. With that, I would go to a heavy duty...

If there was one perfect one, everyone would be there. Can't think of a company that covers your list to completion. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Most of what you decribed is the law of averages. It usually makes sense to stay where the majority of freight is. It doesn't mean you don't stray from an area, but you have to factor what it takes to return. Or value the cost of sitting if you turn down a load. "Businessman first, driver...

Any place that does high top conversions for van/buses or the handicapped, should be able to accomadate you. Resident van owner Terry had one on his last truck and I think this one? He could give you an idea on costs, but I would say $2,000 to 2,500. Mine is just a questimate. 24" I believe is...

Wasn’t there a bunch of hoopla about the 155 inch sleeper? Then again wasn’t the little duce a C unit? ====================================== Yes Tony, you are correct. The ateam went on for two years about how "secret" their truck was, but most laughed as they knew about it anyways. The...

Bobby Snyder at Fyda should be able to get you the information that you need. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Gotta go with Chet. Experience really does matter. He did a great job when he drove for us. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is Without the duals, what about the regular van? That should be under 10,000. I seen a Landstar guy with one, and he had a neat setup Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Is the Wilco Hess good anywhere, or just at their locations? I would like to recommend this to our teams Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Your right Gregg. I should say congrats to the ateam. I wonder as well what two years and 11 engineers came up with as well. Not sure on the "C" unit theory but as long as they like it.....have at it. As for Al Gores movie......it should be free on the internet. Afterall, he invented the...

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is I'm not a van driver but I still like the aerocell concept. I think it is www.unicell.com Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

You got my vote on a APU, but I don't think it would work on a reefer. Way too many variables that affect fuel consumption, unless you are hauling the same thing at the same temp. Even then, climate will make some difference. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I think we heard the same melody The only time I had heard of a second orientation, was because of a bad driving record or they were out of service for a extended period of time and had to redo a lease. That may have changed, I don't drive for Fedex. As for your teams personal driving record...

I quess they changed alot of that since I was there. If one gets a few cargo claims, you would really have to assess the investment risk prior to buying alot of WG freight equipment. After a few claims...then what? Even more vunerable on temp loads. I thought all drivers had to attend...

I like the meter version alittle better because consumption rates will vary. More fuel on a APU is used when the a/c is running. Same thing on a reefer. The typical reefer will burn more anytime the compressor is running. The farther from the ambient temp you are, the more it will burn. Load or...

Coco said And of course the electric skillet is self explanitory. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Easy for you to say! Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I like the floscans but they are pricey. 600 verses 150. That was my concern on the pricier models. What did you pay for yours? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I think the Ateam is on track with the right idea if it has potential savings. It would be my desired path if I had a need. Flow meters are much easier and less to fool with. Whether the tax savings is significant is another story. Here is a link that makes water,fuel, and oil meters...
