I know but that felt good! Expedite rates are falling too far for a 2005. Not for the truck...for the 4 kids still living in my home The shippers are NOT paying 70c. I love expediting, but number 1 would be...ME Get it in writing and LEAVE (for more money)

Hey I don't get the negativity. I've voluntarily stayed home for a month now due to being asked for a safety on my van (Left the carrier. My van was safetied within the year, I'm not paying $200 on the owner's whim and giving a crooked shop the opportunity, the MTO (like DOT) isn't asking for...

So for right this second I'm going to mechanically fasten sandwich layers of 1.5" polyiso board into the walls. It's not sensitive to moisture so much Condensation problems won't happen if I can manage to seal the walls properly. That stuff Moot mentioned is pretty nice though, check it out if...

Watched Vanishing Point a couple days ago. Meh Some classics don't seem to age well Zombie flicks excepted, wonder what it would have been like to see Night of the Living Dead when it came out Saw Easy Rider when I was 15 hopped up on hospital painkillers, I was shocked and in a rage at the...

Checked out the denim. There's more holes in my 2005 than my government's plans for the economy Not sure what would happen with wet jeans in my walls...

Thanks for other ideas...i still don't know what to do...the pour foam expands 30 times and I could fill the spaces behind paneling (and the Sprinter could float!) The weight of an R10 board at 10 lbs is equivalent to 55lbs of rock wool

Just learned the roxul is not formaldehyde free, so it's out. Not a fan if being closed up in a box with that...Changed my mind to roll on steel building insulation that is, and has a built in vapour barrier...I can carve out the support beams and leave just a bit to help thermal bridging...

Insulate, that is. Here's the quick version: Decided to use Roxul stone wool in the walls, its good stuff...fill all the cavities and vapour barrier it one piece floor n ceiling too...1/2 slab of poly board under a harder thinner plywood sheet...finish the walls and ceiling with 1" polyiso R6...

Even as a teenager I'd stay up days at a time for no reason. Just harnessed it with this job. Gotta stay honest with myself if that changes though

Oh I'll hang up my hat if I start passing out on the road! Was lying on the couch at the time, planning everything I was going to do today The slap in the face means its time for a nap... And yep we've all been there, just trying to get across nothing beats a short nap regardless of what it...

Could be! Some other signs, I think I'm getting set in my ways. No matter how many times I walk out the side door I always bang my head off the doorframe

Question to retired expediters...is there ever a point where you stop randomly falling asleep for hours, or do you go back to normal? Every time I think I'm ok, boom, out cold. Apple crisp came out REALLY crispy

Well the manly version would involve a power washer...clean walls too Edit: careful on the inside of the house

I stand aside for these matters...wife broke my poking stick

In 11 years I've broke down twice loaded...once a tire because the spare was already on it, once an alternator...but lots of roadside repairs If you knew that something was wrong ahead of time does that mean it was a "scheduled" breakdown? :D

Now about buying parts when not rolling...warning the wife is not cool with boxes in the bedroom and living room you actually have to put them on :D

Agreed, although at 75 I was still getting 20 mpg...23-24 at 60...adds up on a long drive, do you like more sleep time / first up or more money...course with you and Murray doesn't seem to matter, but we aren't all blessed with a good carrier

Hey I agree to the point where I ran...Now Fastman has it figured out...he's crazy like a fox...those locals pay better than expedite now!

I agree. Except TX and maybe Montana?
