    Van Pay

    Personally, i just don't see how either party can make good money in this situation. Some companies will not let a solo van driver drive more then 700 miles a day, some don't pay enough per mile. when you have the Owner taking a his deserved cut to cover overhead, what the driver gets, just...

    I haven't seen the heaters at walmart, but that doesn't mean they don't sell them, look in the outdoors / camping section. Walmart does sell the 1 lb propane bottles and they sell the 20lb tanks , the 1st one is like $40 , but then it is on an exchange basis and around $17-19, depending on the...

    post tips for heating your truck here

    No problem Flat! I really think the key to the moisture on the windows is keeping whatever you use to cover them, OFF or AWAY from the glass so that the air does circulate. Hanging the cover off a bungie cord 4-6 inchs away at the top and 12-16 at the buttom really works well. And The little fan...
