Pre-World War II or post WW II?

There should be no difference in the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) between the long and short wheelbase Chevrolet vans. Payload rating yes, because the short wheelbase weighs less.

According to Chevrolet's online PDF brochure, a 2011, 155" wheelbase cargo van with the standard 4.8 litre has a payload of 3992 pounds. Same van with a 6.0 might be a 100 or so pounds less on the payload and a Duramax could bring it down to the 3200 pound range. Somewhere I thought I saw a...

I hate when I'm having like a really good dream and like a truck comes into the truck stop with the Jake screaming and I wake up and like was that me? I also hate when I'm looking at something way cool and someone sticks a sharp pencil in my eye. Like super hurt dude.

I still own a pair of Vasque hiking boots purchased in 1974. Still going strong but don't get much use anymore because they must weigh 4 to 5 pounds for the pair. In my youth, at a bar selling tap beer by the pail, I put one of my Vasques and a one dollar bill on the bar and said fill it up...

Did this happen today or yesterday?

Every time a read one of your updates my legs involuntarily squeeze together and I hunch forward. I can't begin to imagine the pain you are going through. Hang in there Eddie, this too shall pass.

It is an international matter, let the goobers at the United Nations deal with it. The closing of the strait does not endanger our national security. If it does and Russia and China are behind it, then let's bomb the snot out of both of them. These commies have been a pain in the butt since...

Oh, I was under the impression oil was the major commodity passing through the strait. Then let the international community deal with. What?

Does this mean Don Shula will be coming out of retirement? Don your country needs you!

In at least 2 current threads in the Soapbox dealing with Ron Paul, the possible closing of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran has been mentioned. 85% of the crude oil that passes through the strait is bound for Asian markets. Even if the remaining 15% was headed for the U.S., so what! This is more...

Dear Jumbuck, hey, you started the dear thing. I did not offer any advice. I was merely responding to the OP's question: "What are the busy drivers doing that the less-busy drivers are not?" I thank OVM for filling in during my absence while I was fetching a load. He did a mighty fine job...

I agree with Jeff but I have come to use the f.s.c. as a means to cover the rate cuts I have taken over the years. I rarely accept a load where the f.s.c. does not cover at least 90% of the total fuel cost and sometimes I make money on the f.s.c.

Several things come to mind: Taking loads into areas they know they can load out of. Working their carrier's system to their advantage. Working the fringe areas. Taking any load offered, regardless of rate. Leasing to a carrier with a broad and diverse customer base. Dumb luck. Something...

LOS, where do you get this stuff? If it truly is a new definition and regulation why not post the regulation or link instead of yours or someone's interpretation of the law. By the way its FMCSA, not FMSCA.

Yeah, a 20 minute scale line would have trucks backed up on the big road for miles and miles. Now a 20 minute wait in an Ag. inspection station in Florida I believe and PrePass won't help you out there.

Looking good Moose! At first glance I thought you had air and electrical at the rear of the trailer, but no pintle hook. I zoomed in and saw what I thought was a 7 prong outlet is really a gauge. What are the two things I mistook for gladhands mounted between the ICC bar verticals?

Greetings Jim! Keep reading and asking questions. If you haven't already done so, insulate your van.

At 60º F, 1 gallon of propane weighs 4.2 pounds. I'm guessing an empty 20 cylinder weighs close to 20 pounds, so a full one would weigh in around 40 pounds.
