Just completed my first 2 runs in 2 months. Van is flawless. Not one code hiding in any modules Buffalo and West Virginia in case anyone cares. There'll be a lot of copy and pasting for those, I'll probably post weekly loaded miles or something

Is there such a thing as too much maintenance? Replaced engine wiring harness, steering u joint, all 4 shocks & mounts, transmission control board and plug, blower motor, coolant pump, alternator, starter, battery, e brake cables and rear backing plates, rear speed sensor, 2 brake lines, wiper...

NP, I was near Greenbriar last year and never thought to see Dr. A...

Ask him why a right rear wheel sensor in a 2005 would keep giving a speed implausible error. Says 32768 rpm. Had somebody tell me that's 1111111 in binary, or a short. It's plagued me for a year, but if I get up to highway speed without tripping it, it only comes on when I slow down again...

Toledo = Wayne Rodd?

Woke up super cranky. Recycling day. I hate manual labor when I wake up (ok, I'm just lazy) Waiting for the call!! Last minute van preps underway

Happy Birthday!!!

Sent you a PM. What I know about the Canadian stuff right now (which is not a whole lot) but forgot to mention, some American expedite companies hire Canadians too. Look in the ads on this site, it should have provinces listed if they are, along with the US hiring states

No, that was a smaller one. This one they called Snomaggeddon or Snocopalypse but regardless, feet of snow is feet of snow and they've had a bunch of those. 7 feet in 24 hours was special tho, and it kept snowing for a week, right over Buffalo and the southtowns They found a person or 2 frozen...

Just asked my daughter those 4 names. Had no idea who any of them were, but had heard the name Hitler. Maybe leaving them up with a plaque explaining would do something to pique their curiosity, you definitely can't tell them anything they don't want to know. Young generation coming up is not...

Maybe if they had, those places would have remembered better, instead of sliding back towards the same. You can't erase the past by taking down a statue...would the young people in those places even know who they were? Well Mussolini, don't think there's any danger there

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Leave em all up

Put another way that makes the cost of me being right at about $8000 due to the break with the other carrier. Yes it WAS worth it :D

So I have my freshly minted certificate of insurance and policy number in hand! Sent it directly off to safety and compliance. MAY be on by Friday. I wouldn't have believed this situation except that it happened to me Emergency fund, people. **** happens

Just don't leave us hanging. Let us know in a year if it matched your expectations. A good rule of thumb is to have 6 months expenses in the bank before trying it. I just used 2.5 months worth of mine over the changes in insurance in my home province. INSURANCE put me out for over 2 months. Smh

At the point I'm at in life this job IS retirement. 2 months off, I went more than a little nuts

Been everywhere, done everything huh? Maybe you ARE ready to retire

Sounds like you are trying to figure out if it's worth it or not. Guesstimate what you think you'll make and subtract 55% for expenses, then take your taxes off as self employed...if nothing goes wrong, that tiny number left over is your potential income :D

Winter driving in Buffalo. The worst was a lake effect system over the city for 7 days. Tried to get fuel and the snow was higher than the van hood. They had to rescue hundreds of people by snowmobile that were too stubborn to abandon their cars on I90 Yep, winter driving, too much to list...

Forgot to share what keeping an aging sprinter is like. 2 hour job became 8 including all 4 brakes frozen + e brake...time for that after winter check-up if you haven't already...note the water pouring from the front shock This last pic shows how I caught the undercoat on fire with the torch...
