Speaking of geeks...... Why are some replies out of chronological order? As much as a day or two.

ftp000, Do you know what your Sprinter weighs after the conversion and full of fuel and personal gear? I couldn't get an answer from Caldwell. Just curious as to what one weighs and how much that leaves for freight.

Blanket and pad the art courier and then strap him or her to the wall of the box. Tell dispatch you're an art critic.

I teamed with an older experienced driver in a single bunk cab-over freightliner. Guess who slept over the doghouse? We were pulling a reefer and ran steady. Only did it for six weeks but gained years of knowledge from an old pro. Expediting involves some down time. With a big sleeper and...

If you want a dose of syphilis then don't file. Otherwise by all means file. Especially if you are itemizing deductions. Don't forget the D.O.T. per diem.

I hit a deer in southern Iowa. It took out the left front fender, bumper, headlight and of course the radiator. Got towed to a truckstop and was able to transfer the freight. There was a state trooper and a county sheriff having coffee. I asked if I should fill out an accident report. They...

An idle stick is a metal rod with 2 adjustable sliding clips. The rod fits between the bottom of tha dash and the foot feed. It puts pressure on the pedal increasing engine speed. A wooden dowel cut to the right length and notched on one end works just as well. Or a broken ice scrapper/brush.

Phreak, if you drove a B-train then you should have no problem driving a little ol B-van. Thumping tires on a van is not as aerobically beneficial as thumping all those tires on a B-train. Good luck!

At one time it was illegal to run recaps on the steer axle. I don't know if that's still the case today. It is legal to run recaps on drive, tag and trailer axles. And this is common practice with many O/O as well as with large fleets. Some tires can be recapped...

Does UPS Expedite have a fleet of O/O and vehicles or are they acting as a 3PL and using other carriers.

Dieselphreak, if you p.m. your e-mail address I will send pictures this weekend.

I have a Chevy and mounted my radio in the roof. First hold the radio with bracket up against the roof to make sure you can reach and see it. Also check that the mic cord doesn't obstruct your vision. Cut a piece of 3/4 inch plywood about 2" larger all around than your bracket. Pull the...

On the Chevy there is a sheet metal pan at the rear underside. Here you need to use self tapping Tek screws with a hex head. Drill a pilot hole of a smaller diameter first. Also there is a heat shield where you will need the Tek screws. Otherwise use bolts where ever possible. Know where you...

Bryan, you can down load the owners manual from their web site. It explains all the functions. It can be used with a diesel. It should work on most 1996 and newer vehicles. I agree that seeing a fault code as it is generated could save you big bucks in repair bills. It may have saved your...

Just kidding about the auto pilot feature.
