Thanks Mudman. 2800 pounds would probably work for me if that was the payload after a full tank of fuel and 200 pounds for a driver.

Thanks for the info Rocketman. As Dennis noted, the Independence is made of FRP, with the "P" being plywood. His van and the Unicell CW are made from a lighter fiberglass panel. I do like that 13th foot though and could live with a legal cargo weight of 2300 pounds. For me personally, the...

Thanks Lawrence! I gotta go right by there on Wednesday so I will stop in and check it out. I'm with Scott on his thinking this unit came over from Europe, but I will still look into it. My brother-in-law sells for a large Ford dealership in northern Minnesota and I know more about the new...

I could live with a 13' FRP with a GVWR of 9,900 if it came in under 7000 pounds curb weight. It would be nice if they were a little more forthcoming with their specs.

I agree! While I am not debt free, isn't that un-American, my current van has been paid off for 4 years. We do have a mortgage and one car payment. Other than that, I have no financial obligations like a steep truck payment that would force me to accept reduced rate loads or stay out longer...

I am interested in the 13', 159" wheelbase Independence on a GM chassis "Independence", A New Cargo Truck, now Available The above website shows two pictures and no specifications. It does list all the really cool upfitter options though. Is this website totally lacking in vehicle specific...

There may be a reason your former carrier rarely provided you with such information. There is information and then there is useful information.

Thanks Nate! What dealership is this at?

Ideally you would want an SWR of 1 or less.

Mike ought to spend a few days in a cargo van or do the set up and break down for the expo. Both dirty jobs.

That's right. I guessing you might want to idle at about 1000-1200 rpm. The problem with these cargo vans is there is a whole bunch of engine shoe-horned into a small space. Dissipating some heat through an open hood should help. A bit higher idle may also help. Is your van insulated? Are...

If you get into this line of work solely for the sake of a job and to make money, you will probably fail, or at the very least hate it. One needs the proper mindset or possibly be out of their mind to enjoy and thrive as an expediter.

Have you tried idling with the hood open?

Nice to see GM is on top of what the competition is up to. I'm sure by 2020 they will have a prototype of their "Transit Killer".

Phil, are you sure this piece came from the Landstar website? Was there a secondary link to the Onion website? Intelligence Alert I have read this piece twice and some parts 3 times and still haven't found anything that would trigger an Intelligence Alert. To be fair, I will admit that...

Okay......

So, is oral sex between heterosexuals sodomy? What about oral sex between a Boy Scout and a Girl Scout. Are these acts considered sinful? What is the norm where perversion is involved? What is your definition of perversion?

Bob, remember this is a family website. Please reword your post.

That dreary old queen may have started the Boy Scouts, but this thread is deals with the Boy Scouts of America.

Sure beats crawling away on your hands and knees!
