Panther has the same requirement and I'm guessing so do most of the larger expedite carriers. When in doubt, read your contract.

http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/43371-cv-tear-drop-camper.html Looks like someone stole your identity 2 years ago.

I don't consider reviving two old threads as "breaking new ground" or that anyone poo-poohed his idea. Pulling a camper behind a van doesn't need to be proven in practice to be rejected. The comments, which the OP asked for support the fact that this particular setup isn't practical, legal or...

Run that one by Romney.

Yes, it can legally be done. Some of the disadvantages have been mentioned like logging, scales, etc. I'm not sure if any expedite carrier would sign you on knowing you would be pulling a camper. Call around to find out and report back. If you are going out on your own, well one man's...

I lifted the following from a post by 21c and believe it should be a "sticky" for the Soapbox Forum, something everyone should read before posting. Whether folks are on one side or the other in current politics, spreading false info as truth just encourages others to spread it, believe it...

Amen! This is probably the most relevant and accurate statement ever to appear on the Soapbox Forum! Thank you!

Great video Skyraider! I cut my teeth and a few transmission teeth on Mack two stickers. I took my class A road test in a 1957 single axle B model Mack, with a 13 speed triplex, pulling a 40' flat. I was two years older than that truck! At the time I was doing regional household goods...

Newer engines are designed to handle the effects of ethanol on parts like gaskets, o-rings, seals, hoses, etc. If you are concerned about moisture in your fuel system, don't let your tank get much below half before refueling. This will lessen the effects of moisture condensation in your tank...

Got it, thanks.

ABF can't fix stupid but they could open up their terminals for Panther swaps. When I'm involved in a swap, I ask for the other driver's phone number. I call the other driver to see if it is possible and if they are willing to swap by hand if I can get us $25 each. I've done pallets up to...

Please e-mail it to me. You do miss Panther don't you!

Leo, you're the math guy! When I saw your post showing a 104 boxes I thought I screwed up with my numbers. I had to check them twice. I just tracked the 1000 Mile load. It delivered this morning at 08:18, 42 minutes ahead of schedule. Definitely a better driver than me. Had to have been...

Me thinks the jury was inhaling something and it probably wasn't popcorn fumes.

That line applies to the deer population as well as the fly population. I don't recall a year where I have seen so many deer along the highways in the Midwest, both roadkill and alive. I've got to believe that the mild winter is responsible for an increase in the deer population. The drought...

Are you still there?

My math works out to 64 boxes. 4 across (48") x 8 deep (96") = 32 boxes. The boxes were 18" high so I could only get two courses (36") for a total of 64. I could get 8 more on my bed, so that's 72. I don't know what the boxes contained, but if I could crush a few I could probably get 12 on...

There is no dispatcher appreciation week. They only get two days, February 30th and 31th.

Wow, that's wild! The double whammy, what doesn't get destroyed by the force of the tornado gets burned. Kinda like the flood in Grand Forks. Downtown buildings were ablaze and there was 5 feet of water in the streets.
