    Motion sickness for a newbie team

    We use a memory foam mattress, still get a little bouncing, but not as much as an interspring mattress. I also use ear plugs to help drown out the noise. My wife uses ear plugs and found a real comfortable padded sleep mask to cover her eyes. Try to cover your sleeper windows and close the...

    Depending on your misdemeaners, FECC might not accept you. I would check with them first.

    Sprinter van, info, help

    What do you mean by "level B" ? Also is the bulkhead just the factory one piece sheet metal or does it have extra metal reinforcing it. If you are happy with the space you have thats great. I just noticed you are from AK. With you and your SO wanting to expedite in the lower 48, do you plan...

    Sprinter van, info, help

    Bill, if you do a search on here you will find pictures of different van sleeper set ups. When we ran our 2006 long and tall Sprinter, we had a full size bed and still had 9 foot of cargo space. If we needed to haul the occasional 3 skid load the bed would fold up against the drivers side wall...

    any advice

    Best advice i could give you is go to the front page of this website, on the right there will be a list of carriers. Write down their info and start calling them one by one and talk to their recruiters. If they turn you down, scratch them off the list and move on. Also when you do land a spot...

    Baby On Board!?

    Here's my opinion, for what its worth. Babies, infants, toddlers, young children do not belong in trucks. Seeing as a truck only has two seats and seatbelts, how are you going to properly secure the child seat while moving. There's is also all the diesel fumes and diesel that gets tracked into...

    Dodge Sprinter 2500 or 3500?

    With the 54" between the wheelwells your 3500 has been modified outside of the factory. Factory with between wheelwells was 38 inches. All North Ammerican Sprinter 3500's are like that. In Europe they offer a 3500 model with the SUSI option, which is a super single rear tire which will allow you...

    UR CRAZY no mt $$

    First welcome to EO. Second, this is a perfect example of not reading or understanding your contract with the owner or company you are leased on to. You don't just assume you get payed for something, always ask. Expecting is a. whole different ballgame than truckload. Plus most things you...

    Exposing the thieves

    You say you don't have the money to invest, but with a payed for van, a cell phone and a gps you are ready to go out there and make the big money. Now let me ask you this, trust me its not too far fetched. What happens when the freight goes dry, or you have a major breakdown, or a string of...

    If you go to the SOS and get the manual, you can use the back page, which is the pre trip check list on the test itself, you just have to know the wording as you are checking it.

    I think I can answer this. My most common freight is anything that is legal to haul and will fit in my Sprinter.
