Have done my research and I'm gunna go with a yamaha 2400is generator.

Sounds like Detroit !

Might give those gereral tires a try, currently have cooper tires so far decent. Has anyone ever had these...

Is it like some big pow wow where a bunch of expediters are sitting around a campfire talking about all the stories on the road as they hang out and wait for loads? :) Where do most of the loads go that come out of Laredo? Seems like trucks are moving out of there today.

:) Looking for a good place to wait for next load.

go with the lowest profile rooftop ac unit, I'm waiting till they bring the 7.5 inch unit back to purchase one. I think the lowest one now is around 10-11 inches

I met another musician looking to get into expediting and he was asking me if he thought he could fit a tour in between loads... I didn't want to disappoint him but you pretty much have to do one or the other.

Denver CO, looking to hit it hard for another two months, headed west to LA to get a load cause I know I'll be east the other 85% of the time.

Who are the larger ones that keep drivers happy?

cuban food, citrus, nice sunsets, palm trees, fl has some positives :) not sure if I'd move there but...

I wish they'd regulate the speed on 53 ft trucks down to 60 MPH. I'll have to be on the lookout on i65, I pretty much am on all interstates/roads. Expedite in cargo vans was not made for safety it was made to get the freight to the customer regardless of how tired the driver is...

What kind of rooftop would you get if you had the space? I looked up those Onan's wow that thing cost almost as much as my sprinter :) Anyone use one of these ? or have a suggestion for a diesel generator that is compact and under $2500-3000...

This sounds like the best plan because you can remove it in the off season. Where did you cut the hole and are there some good stand up units you can recommend that will run off a honda eu2000i that I can research? Thanks Swamp30! Florida gets pretty sweaty even in winter. This unit looks...

honda EU 2000i I hear is a good one to run and quiet! Do you recommend portable ac inside with hose out window, rooftop ac or a rear window unit? The rear window unit looks pretty trashy, maybe I could build a box around it to hide it :)

Summer approaching, I've gotta make some upgrades. I froze in Detroit this winter, not looking to burn up in Laredo or Arizona. :) Application is for 06 Sprinter.

119k is a baby. I'm at 190k and looking to go hundreds more. Make sure you follow maintenance intervals. Oil, air, cabin, fuel filters, frequent transmission, oil, and rear differential fluid changes and it will run forever! Also keep some good diesel fuel injector cleaner in your tank...

Been seeing a lot more trucks then loads lately. Seems like if they all were looking for loads in Chicago or Detroit the answer is yes. I'm real curious to see where the industry will be come March 15th is when they are promising more loads. Where do you guys see the industry going...

ran a load out of okc into Del Rio 11pm to 9am arrival, crashed at w mart at 11am woke up couple hours later and a panther straight truck driver was grilling out in the parking lot and it was 75 degrees. And there are some nice senoritas down there but I don't speak espanol :(

In the last two days, I've been offered a load from Baton Rouge to Charlotte, St Louis and Detroit! I'm on hometyme so I'm headed to Texas tomorrow hoping for a load up to Colorado. I'm not sure if this is just a freak accident week or there is always freight out of Baton Rouge but it seems like...

I'm trying to get to Laredo or Houston, want to trade spots? :) I need to be in Texas to get a load to CO. I might get nothing and deadhead 1000 miles home.
