Yeah, I think he had about 800,000 on it before he bought a truck and gave his van to his kid. I don't believe it made a million miles, but it was real close before they had to put a bullet in it.

No, you wouldn't love to see it. It's a mess. I've got two fans, lights, outlets, cd player and other stuff all wired to switches in a panel by my bed. This stuff got added to over the years and is WOFC! I really should completely rewire my van. I run a Hellroaring BIC-95150 B. This...

Re: 1st geo hall of fame memeber I might. Any dude with a nice truck that ran for president would probably get my vote. You would vote him into George's Hall of Fame because he had a nice truck. I wouldn't! Was Glen Rice the impetus that caused you to notice expediting? I can imagine...

Entering this business well capitalized and being in it for a few years helps one survive the slow periods. Its kinda like farming. Good years, bad years. We deal with many forces that we have no control over. Too bad the government doesn't subsidize expediters like they do farmers for...

Re: 1st geo hall of fame memeber Ah, the power of the media. One of the problems that plague our political process.

Re: 1st geo hall of fame memeber Why does Glen Rice come to mind?

I could post pictures of my setup that has been added to over the years. An extra battery, more lighting, Fantastic Vent, inverter, second radio/cd player, extra power outlets, etc. but it would probably send poor Turtle into cardiac disrhythmia. It scares me knowing I wired it! cardiac...

I remember it well. It was early January, Roseville, MN to North Palmyra, MO, about 450 miles. I picked up on Sunday afternoon for a Monday morning delivery. 2 pallets of printed material going to a die-cutting outfit. I got there Sunday night and called from a small truck stop in Edina...

There's a reason why O-D and heavy haul loads pay the big money. Initial equipment costs are greater compared to a typical flatbed or dry van/reefer operation. Heavy haul/O-D requires specialized equipment. A heavy haul tractor often has 4 axles. An RGN trailer usually has at least 3 axles...

I'm with Moose and Dave on this one. It is much more fun when they get all worked up and started cussing. Panther had a dispatcher in their Chicago office that had a short fuse. I hung up on him 3 times in a span of about 5 minutes. The first two times for shouting and cussing. The third...

I like the large LED taillights. I'm curious about your choice of a single swing door vs. double swing doors. Looking good!

Oh lord I'm dying. Something that sweet just gotta be named Lucille.

Yeah that and why not call a recruiter any recruiter and ask.

I'm running a Sears Diehard Platinum (AGM) for a starting battery, it has both top and side posts. Have I ever mentioned I like a starting battery with both top and side posts? My house batteries are a pair of Sears Diehard Platinum marine starting/deep cycle (not true deep cycle) with four...

I gots me some two-headed cats on the doors. I guess a load offer tonight would help convince me I still drive for them.

I have a Hellroaring battery isolator: Hellroaring Technologies, inc., Manufacturer of Solid State Dual Battery Isolator / Combiners I believe a true isolator is a better way to maintain a proper charge for auxiliary batteries. I'm sure the Grand Battery Wizard will weigh in. There are...

Could be a GM thing. My 04' is also exactly 3% off. Every time I fuel, I reset the "B" tripometer. At that time I would frequently run loads that transferred at a Con-Way terminal in Des Plaines. I would fill up at the Flying J, south of the Beloits. With my old van it was always 75 miles...

I replied to the Verizon Employment validation E-mail by submitting a copy of my settlement sheet that Panther provides weekly. It contained all the info Verizon required and a whole lot more. But, it got rejected. Has anyone submitted a scan of their Settlement Sheet and retained their...

Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans Impressive! I've got a Maxxair vent cover. Before purchasing it I talked with the guy at Adohens. He said there would be some air restriction with the cover and suggested I not run it on high. I've been content with my set-up and with...
