Mohawk, try talking the Sprinter owner into installing a standard 14 x 14 roof vent or letting you do it and pay for it. If the owner springs for it, then you can replace it with a Fantastic Fan Fantastic Vent RV Vent Fan  Adohen Supply. When you get your own van, remove the Fantastic Fan...

A few years ago bernard40 was looking for a co-driver. If you're a skinny chick get in touch with Bernie. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/layover-lounge/25093-looking-find-lasting-relationship-slim-l.html

The following is an update from this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/46492-maintenance-costs-2004-cargo-van.html Listed below are the costs for maintaining a 2004 Chevrolet 3500, long wheelbase 6.0 V-8 slop bucket, for the first 650,000 miles as it came from the...

I heard from a Panther straight truck driver that Andy teamed up with Ed Wadel and together they bought a Sprinter.

Ooops, almost forgot: BAN THE VAN!

I fixed it for you by changing OTR to TL. As expediters we are "over the road" drivers, even those skanky vanners.

I like it, especially the 159" wheelbase and the ladder frame! The 3.6 gasser might be a bit wimpy in the mountains pushing the gross though. Hopefully the 12,500 gvwr is for the drw model and the srw comes in at just under 10,000.

Or under a contract with an expedite carrier.

I don't believe ever. They may have and I passed out from oxygen deprivation while laughing and it didn't register in my memory. I have only run a few less than rate loads over the years. Last year I did two in one day, but that was under special circumstances. I needed to get home and the...

Looks like the HCV from Vision Manufacturing. Jack and Gracie Berry had one on an E-350 chassis. I believe somebody here on E.O. bought it after Jack died. Here's a link to a thread with some pics and info on the HCV...

60/40 depending on who buys the fuel?

By law a carrier must provide an O/O being paid on a percentage basis a copy of the original billing invoice at the O/O's request.

Often times as expediters we see the world of trucking only through our narrow vision: Exclusive use, 1 load, 1 shipper, 1 commodity. When I was in the LTL industry I dealt with Hazmat almost daily. Any product that was included in the hazard classes 1 through 8 was considered Hazmat...

You can still have the papers in the proper place and have a crappy day. When I was involved in a Hazmat situation the fire department would let me retrieve the Hazmat BOL I left on the driver's seat. The following is an excerpt from...

Please accept my apologies, I will be more careful in the future. The water cooler question I took to be rhetorical, the others seemed to me to be more direct questions, requiring an answer. Maybe in the future you could end your questions with a question mark, followed by either an (R)...

That second picture looks more like a junkyard than and interstate highway. Wow, what a mess!

You're the one that asked the following questions, remember? Hope? You mean you don't know? Please enlighten us. What carrier are you leased to and what rate do you run at? To me you come off as just another vanner blowing smoke and unwilling or unable to back up what he/she posts. But I...

Before your questions can be answered you must enlighten us. Who is your carrier?

Oh yeah! What about this app from Google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grindrapp.android&hl=en Also, Mrs. Olson was a lesbian. She used the "Mrs." to mask her true sexual orientation. Mrs. Olson and Madge were quite the item in the 60's. "The best part of waking up, is...

Good question, hope you can stomach my answer. Here are two loads I hauled in the past two weeks. Both cargo van "B" loads: Load 1: 2 JD bins with steel wheel spacers, 1737#, 472 loaded miles. Customer was billed $739.12. Total linehaul per mile rate $1.57. This info came from the JD...
