Yeah, I know. One word: Michigan I used to break E350 shock mounts off going there. Sprinters still ok

Good. I've regreased the bearings once on my sprinter, and never touched them again 790k. I can't stop myself from visiting the configurator on mercedes sprinter site (new weight capacities) so it's good to know I have time to save up

I've been known to shove a tiny piece of paper on the back of the sim to improve contact. More likely, if sim and card are in the same tray, it's losing contact just enough to disconnect. (Maybe Huwawei made the sim and they're spying on you)

Trucking in the 50's Give it a watch if your sitting. I don't know what's more unbelievable, 8 hours on and 8 hours off, or watching 5 mechanics at once service a tractor They did 220,000 miles a year back then too (albeit at 50 mph) looks like it was a respectable profession. Funny was the...

Dollars to doughnuts it's a u joint, wheel bearings usually make noise at all speeds. (Had lots of experience with wheel bearings in my Dodge vans, every 3 to 6 months @ 500 miles a day. When the races break and round metal rollers start pinging off the fenders, fun times)

Yay 2019. Never had a claim on insurance. $430 a month now for 800 mile circle. Edit: no collision either. It's a 2005 dammit

Well...as an emergency I will use a Walmart first, truck stop second... Last 12 years, first rest stop on the way home has served me just fine. Got tired back in 2006 of self important employees / bored police knocking on the van. Never been bothered by anyone at a state rest stop, ever. And...

I'm staying in a van. I see a repo straight near me for $3500, $1.77 sounds great to me...apparently not lol

I'd better go back on the rotation. Those raccoon carcasses are making my stomach growl

You'll traumatize the snowflakes :eek: :p

Hi Roadtime! Reading your last post made me smile. (Not cause you lost money) just a few of the things you said. Now if someone was to be in this market (of course I am not, and have no bitcoin, as the Canada tax police are watching me and my bank account) in my personal opinion - unless you...

The real answer is buried in your post. Drop the cheap freight and focus on loads that pay properly

See, you've got it backwards. You're supposed to take all the great paying loads in the company trucks, and pay the drivers barely enough to live on. All the crap loads go to the O/O until they starve to death or go bankrupt (you get your percentage regardless and pay no expenses). That way...

Level the van / block wheels, rotate the driveshaft (trans in neutral engine off) while watching your u joints...it always felt like it was under me, starting with a shudder, when mine went. (Noticed it first around 65 mph) I started carrying spares and a balljoint press in my 2003 E350 for side...

Whelp, holidays over. Back to reality. I love browsing want ads when I'm already employed. "5 years or never Van, must stay out 2-3 weeks, and we'll pay 10c a mile less than everyone else" (paraphrased to protect their identity) Nope, lol. I pay for van, I say when I work. Not really looking...

Sorry I don't have a picture...Little did the guests know...wife tried to lift 3 chickens in a bed of broth and vegetables into the oven and ended up wearing it :p I think I got all the hairs out...(yes it was well rinsed) Fortunately I stayed home this Christmas there were some tears as it was...
