    Quick question...Anyone? Anyone?

    By the same token, you have customers requesting Sprinters for a load of 4 drums on 1 pallet, 3840 pounds. A Sprinter can't haul that, but an E-350 can.

    Quick question...Anyone? Anyone?

    That's going to start happening with these new vans, as well. But it all depends how you go about getting the repairs done. The problem is, many people don't have the same attitude when it comes to repairing a Sprinter. True, junk yard parts aren't as easy to come by with a Sprinter, but the...

    Six billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world

    Pay close attention to the Dubai meeting. Tops on the very short list on the agenda is government control of the Internet with the ITU being the primary world regulatory body.

    A cargo van is a specific type of enclosed vehicle designed to carry cargo freight. A Sprinter can be designed to carry cargo, designed to carry passengers, or designed as a recreational vehicle. It can also be designed with with a non-enclosed flat bed platform that can be used for a plethora...

    Panther Info

    After you get some experience, about a year or so is about average, you will then know exactly what and where to look for a good company. What suits one person about a carrier might not suit another. You'll know what you want, and don't want, out of a carrier by then. Ironically, as was already...

    ALL STATE Express worst company ever

    The fact that someone thinks emergency freight gets booked a day or two in advance is certainly an indicator of that.

    Looks like a big fishing hook.

    You should get 2 of those. One for a fridge, the other for a freezer. :D

    Apple Maps

    Some of the newer Garmins will interface with your smartphone, and will thus find all those POIs that other Garmins won't. iPhone users who had gotten used to Google Maps with directions certainly miss it, but even they really didn't know what they were missing by not having Google Navigator on...

    Darden Resturants moving full time workers to part time/Obamacare

    The Health Care bill is so massive that the lobbyists who wrote it haven't finished reading it, yet, much less the bought-and-paid-for goons who legislated it.

    October Locations and Banter

    A couple of weeks ago I got a call like that. I was in Birmingham. I, too was a little surprised. Said he was putting bids in, but wasn't getting them, so what was the least amount I'd run for? I told him 90 cents. I think he was hoping more for something like 60, based on his response.

    Best Wipers-Bug Juice

    I'm really liking these Trico Onyx blades I got at Advance Auto. Expensive, but I think I've finally found some blades that play well and get along with a Sprinter windshield.

    How Do You Watch NFL Football on the Road?

    That makes no sense. If you understood it, then you understand just how simple and easy it is to do. You go to the Web site via the Web browser (or the desktop app if you choose), navigate to the event you want to watch, then click the link for that event, and sit back and watch it. You can...

    Abandoned

    The other is the language where it talks about the Contractor leasing the equipment to the Carrier, which gives the carrier a great deal of control over the equipment when it has their freight on it. The reason things like breakdowns and tows are not specifically mentioned and spelled out in...

    posting in daytripper guide section

    The Daytrippers Guide is a Moderated Forum, which means posts there are invisible to others and must first be "approved" by a Moderator before it goes "live" and can be seen and replied to. Why? I have no idea. Seems that a few other forums would be better suited for that sort of thing. :D...

    How Do You Watch NFL Football on the Road?

    You probably already have the media players that would be needed downloaded and installed. The Adobe Flash Player is one that you probably already have installed as a plugin. Windows Media Player is the other. Most of these are Flash streams, essentially the same things as YouTube. There are...

    How Do You Watch NFL Football on the Road?

    My computer is well protected. There are no trojans, viruses, tacking cookies, devious javascript left behind, or other malware at those sites, and none of my security software or manual security checks have found anything nefarious. Others who are even more anal about that kind of thing than I...

    On some Android phones, apps that have been moved to the SD card (usually with App2SD) will spontaneously combust for no reason and will have to be reinstalled. My Droid Bionic did that when I first got it. I don't know if a later OS update fixed it or not, since I just left everything in the...
