    ThinkIng about a change

    First you should post your definition of annual net income. There are almost as many definitions of net income here on E.O. as members. As an employee my net income was listed on my W-2. Gross income minus taxes, FICA, etc. equals net income. As an owner/operator business type person, I...

    Might be a dumb question

    I'm with Rocketman, tighten all hose clamps. If you aren't using constant-torque hose clamps, this might be a good time to replace your old clamps with these.

    Van Load Safety

    Get a drill, stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers and lock-washers. Secure your E-track with these. Drill through the plywood, through the steel floor and run bolts about every 10-12 inches. A GM van has a sheet metal pan at the rear that prohibits access for bolts. Use self-tapping sheet...

    Flying J Trash Cans

    It did! I pocketed the receipt just in case there was no toilet paper in the men's room. As I stated, it was my lucky night but I wasn't about to push my luck too far.

    Nitrogen; An Extra-Income Opportunity for Expediters

    True, but for us expediter types that average 80,000 to 200,000 miles annually inside tire decay is probably not an issue. I'm sure tread wear will end a tire's life sooner than internal decay.

    Nitrogen; An Extra-Income Opportunity for Expediters

    I'm sorry Kim, but had you bothered to read the prospectus prior to investing your "like" in my post you would be aware of the risks, fees, expenses and possible loss of principal. Please read the fine print: All "likes" invested are subject to market risk, and cannot assure a profit or...

    I'm calling the cops on those truckers!!

    Probably a good thing the Doc didn't prescribe a 24 hour testosterone monitor.

    Bad gas alert!

    A good reason to fuel more frequently and not let your tank(s) get to low.

    What would you do? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    I did one of those "fixed it for ya" things.

    Flying J Trash Cans

    The other day I stopped for fuel at the Flying J in Gretna. I was so impressed with the shiny new trash cans, all done up in the "J" colors, with the Flying J logo, that I couldn't wait to throw some trash in one. Unfortunately I had no trash in my van. I threw it all out the window while...

    Raising chinchillas has less start-up costs and potential for a greater return on investment.

    Chevy express c van

    If that van has the original fuel pump you will be replacing it tomorrow or Thursday. I got somewhere around 180,000 miles out of my original in a 1998 extended. Most drivers I talked to averaged about 100,000 miles on a fuel pump. I believed I replaced all the U-joints around the 200,000...

    You Too Can Become a Ty-Gard2000 Expert!

    I was thinking intermodal. You know, rail, truck, ship, that kind of thing. Tipped over is tipped over, rail truck or ocean going vessel. The picture I posted shows a ship and its cargo on its side. I don't know if it was 3o+ foot seas or poor piloting. Stevedore or matador makes no...

    A nice pic of the 2014 Ford Econoline replacement

    My son bought an F-150, short box, crew cab, FWD with the V-6 Eco-Boost. He has been averaging 19 mpg city/highway combined with an open box. When it comes to driving I'm a bit more conservative than he is. I'm sure I could average 23 mpg or better with the same truck. I'm thinking driven...
