For HAZMAT loads that must be placarded in any amount, even 1 pound, the vast majority of those cannot be hauled in a cargo van even with a solid, sealed wall. Even a box truck, the box must have a wall and the cab must have it's own wall, they cannot share a common wall. Most explosives, most...

Because there is no roaming with Verizon's Mobile Broadband, you can still get connected and not have to pay thru the nose even in areas where 3G isn't present. It might be slow as slow dialup, but you can at least get connected. It's very rare when I cannot get some kind of connection. It's...

Is there even a Trucking Hall of Fame?

"It just amazes me every time some one comes up with an Idea for somthing thats a good thing it gets slammed by the Bitter Hearts here." "I have to agree with IRT...why do some slam this topic?" "I really would like everyone input, even the people that read the fourms from all the different...

There are three things in life that you never, ever do: Walk the pitcher. Make the third out at 3rd. Mortgage your house to buy a truck.

Is there anyone who didn't think was either already going on, or wouldn't be? They're inputting violations of drivers and carriers into a database. It's real easy to filter database entries. Well, duh, they don't need one in a vault somewhere. One, it can become stale after a week. Two, with a...

Wow. It appears all the research has been done based on a "best case" scenario. Like Cheri said, finding teams is easy, finding good teams is not. For every good team you can find, there are 10 who will trash the truck, not take care of it, get bored or discouraged because the easy money they...

The biggest mistake people make in this business is getting a van and becoming an expediter because they think they can make a lot of easy money. The second biggest mistake people make in this business is buying a straight truck and becoming a fleet owner because they think they can make a...

She's really hot, tho.

The 3500 gives you as much as 2000 pounds additional cargo capacity, and another 1500 pounds of towing capacity. A few replacement parts are different, like suspension and brake parts for the 3500 are more expensive than the 2500. But it's that narrow wheel well that's the problem when hauling...

Anything's possible. But frankly if you have to ask that question then it's not very probable. If it were that easy then everybody would have their own authority and look for their own loads, but you have to know the industry and know where expedited freight comes from, and then know how to get...

For those who might need it, here are a few links. 2006 Sprinter Service Manual.rar 42MB RAR file The Technical Service Manual, what you need to do your repairs yourself. Can be used with 2003 to 2007 model years. 2005 Sprinter MOPAR Exploded Parts Catalog.rar 5MB RAR file Exploded Parts...

Could be. It could also be that someone read it here, and there ya go. Rumors spread much faster than the truck, especially in trucking.

The weight creeps up over time. Add this gizmo or that winter coat, maybe a few extra sheets and blankets. That's why I weigh mine at least twice a year. Nearly a year ago I added a VuQube satellite dish, TV and DVR receiver. Not much, but it adds up. Buy a t-shirt here, pair of shoes there. All...

Oh, OK, yeah. They make a standalone air heater, like the Espar, and I think they make an all-in-one thing, but I don't know much about them. Just from reading people's comments on them here, mostly. The Espar is the one I know best, and will recommend, but that's because I've got one of those...

I personally compare Olebermann's contributions to that of Hannity, Cavuto and News Corp in general. It's scummy. Even though the above mentioned are clearly partisan, they shouldn't be contributing to any political campaign or PAC. The CBNC people aren't allowed to own individual stocks. The...

It may be another two years before they can clean house enough to start investigating their own. I'm all for it, tho. Let the rectal polyps fly!

Like a generator?

Well, even if true, it's still reporting third-hand information. The "update" is just someone trying to justify the reporting of gossip. Whether Bloomberg fails to deny it is irrelevant, and hardly a confirmation of truth if he doesn't, same as to whether or not there's a retraction. It's gossip...

I'm right there with ya Rex. Where's the Drywall Contractor Hall of Fame? Do we have one of those? What about the Pipe Fitter Contractor Hall of Fame? The last time I voiced my opinion on this subject I rained on everyone's parade and pίssed in everyone Cheerios, all in one whack, and got...
