Has anyone ever tried to park at a RV park or campground with a straight truck? Do any allow them? Is there some sort of listing of those places that allow trucks? We would love to layover in the country sometimes, maybe fish or hike. Maybe get a break from the panhandlers etc. This is one of...

Ah the "T" word, I don't cuss like that. I am sure that they will come up with a way to tax whatever comes out even heavier than what we pay now. Government just hates to see anyone get ahead. It cuts too much into their share.

Thanks, I will look that up. I wonder if corn oil grows algea like bio-diesle does? Just have to know everything. Wonder what would happen in a big truck engine? Also the possible other egde of the sword. If we go to all corn fuel, what would the effects on the enviornment be? The will be a...

I have heard that Willie Nelson runs pure corn oil in his engines. Is that correct? If so, have they been modified at all? Does corn oil gel and if so at what temp? What kind of milage does it get? I saw in a post that a guy in here knows someone connected with Willie. I think it was...

Hi Joe, My name is Joe as well, I live in Mich and I am an expediter. I have been running since May 2005 and my wife joined me in Sept. I can't say I know as much as some of these other guys but if there is any way I can help let me know. You can reach me at [email protected]. We plan on...

Thanks to all, I can see I have a lot to think about. I guess I will most likely go with the "D" unit when the time comes to buy. Then I have to decide reefer or non-reefer. One thing for sure, we like the big sleeper. Might not directly make money but it allows us to *hide* from each other when...

We are running a DR unit now. Just wondering out loud I guess. Seems like we run ALOT of small/light loads. I most likely will go with a D when we do buy but that will be a while yet. Need to get more money together and a bit more experience under our belts. We plan on going to MATS and see what...

Thanks, more to consider. There are so many things to learn. I had not even thought about re-sale. This is a ever changing industry, it will be fun trying to keep up with it.

Well people, I have been at this since last May. I have learned alot but not enough yet, that is, if you can ever learn enough. First thing I learned, this is a riot!! Most fun I have ever had. Second, I can earn a good solid living. Won't get rich but it beats the tar out of retail. Third, I...

I guess that I have seen two different ones then. One was a Sprinter and one was on a Chevy platform. Was just wondering. I drive a D unit but records show that 80% of the loads would fit either on a B or C. Just thinking ahead when I go to buy my own truck. SOOOO much to learn about this business.

I have seen some B units over the past few months that appear to have reefer units on the roof. I thought they might be just aux air in the cargo box but they seem to be to big for that. I thought I read that Fyda was producing a reefer sprinter as well. All the units I have seen with these...

Thanks, got what I need to know now. Joe

OK everyone, back here looking for more expert advise. I am not very happy with the truck stop internet service. I have an internal card on my computer with no antenna. I think that the lack of antenna is the main problem. Who knows where to find a USB mobile antenna? I guess that is what I...

Thanks again, E.O. always helps me when I need it. I just got back from a run to Alaska. I got VERY lucky and did not need to chain up at all. It looks like it might be worth the money for the system. I hate putting on chains, Joe

OK, don't laugh, but do the auto chain up systems work? How do they work? Do they work as advertised? I have been using chains since I was a pup but if there is a better system I am all ears. Joe

I knew I could get help here. Thanks again as always. Keep the info coming, I need all the help I can get. Joe

I am looking for an on-line or real store to buy load securement supplies.I am looking for straps, corner protectors etc. I have also seen metal "collars" that go over load bars, they have e-track fittings on them. I think I heard of a place in Medina OH. Any help for me out there? Thanks, Joe

Again, E.O. comes to the rescue. I will check Del. out. PA is a pain with most things. I know, I lived there for 14 years. Joe

Thanks, I will check it out Joe

I HATE stopping at toll booths!! I have been trying to look into EZPass, has anyone done this? It seems like you have to apply to each state, is this correct or is there a central place to get this service? Thanks in advance, Joe
