I'd trade this van for a RR conductor job in a heartbeat. Well, they won't let you text and drive one of those things anymore, so I might have to give it a couple of heartbeats.

You should lead with that the next time you're on stage at the Comedy Club. :D Christianity is full of hypocrisy and hypocrites. There's an astonishing amount of "Do as I say, not as I do" among Christians. Many of them are prone to harshly judge others for their sins, and their perceived sins...

Ray can certainly give you more accurate up-to-date numbers, but when I had mine done in the Sprinter four years ago, it was $1547 for the heater and $350 for the installation, $1897 total. The installation was to the house bank that was already installed, so no additional wiring for anything...

If you really calculate all the costs, like repair and maintenance other than oil and tires, and add things like brakes and engine coolant and transmission changes, replacement parts, truck washes and windshield wipers and fluid, lots of little things that add up, your Cost Per Mile could easily...

That was fast. I wonder if it was the prospect of lower ratings that prompted it, or the realization that MSNBC was acting in gross hypocritical fashion? Suspending Olbermann and not Scarborough was, IMHO, extremely hypocritical.

Phelps is a nut, and so are his followers. The problem is, they're just one flavor of many. Apparently, it's not enough these days to be a Christian, you have to be the right kind of Christian. Be interesting to hear the criteria for that. ;)

When you have God as your co-pilot, you can do no wrong.

Well, the fridge I have draws a lot, 11-12 amps. The TV and DVR receiver draws another 5-7 amps, and then there's the computer and lights, and stuff, so the batteries get drawn down rather quickly. I idle to recharge them. Nowhere near 24/7 though. I've done that at times when the batteries are...

OK, a few points here that need to be carefully considered. 1 - There are probably some out there, but I don't know of any carriers that will allow anything substantial to be changed in their lease contracts. It's pretty much a take-it or leave-it kinda deal. 2 - Do you really think an LLC...

Don't be silly. Of course it does. You just can't trespass or otherwise infringe on the rights of others while doing it.

No one's questioning the illegality of Michigan cops pulling over out-of-staters, since it's clearly illegal, but you've been maintaining that it's actually been happening, and doing so without any evidence to support it. Differs in what way? Are you nuts? Evolved? My statement here doesn't...

Idling a gas engine can be very expensive. Figure about a gallon per hour, a little less as Leo noted, but it's more than just fuel cost. Rule of thumb for cost analysis is that idling a gasser will cost you about $2-$3 an hour in wear and tear on the engine. You won't pay that $2 or $3 up...

Ah, America the Beautiful. That's what it's all about! American patriots gathering together to squash the free speech rights of other Americans. :D

First, you can get into expediting, with almost all of the carriers, in a cargo van or a straight truck with no experience. It's the tractor-trailers where experience is usually required. Second, the only advantage to starting off with a van or Sprinter before jumping into a straight truck is...

22% Awesomely excellent. :D Panther people also get the same 17% with Sprint, incidentally.
