    In Transit Not For Hire

    It couldn't hurt to hang Not For Hire signs on the doors. Keep a log and stop at scales and you should be cool. Landstar?

    Mess on the PA Turnpike

    An auto dealership charges $150-$300 for undercoating. This truck driver could charge $50 per vehicle, make a ton of money and retire. It's all in the marketing. Maybe he should hire Greggery Peccary to be his point man.

    100k van miles preemptive maint items

    Yeah, what Eddie said. 100,000 is a good time for a flush. On both my 1998 and 2004 I drained and flushed the DexCool when the vans were new and filled them up with good old green stuff.

    On my 2004 with the 6.0 I replace the spark plugs, ignition wires and serpentine belt every 100,000 miles. I run Napa ignition wires that are guaranteed for life. At 100,000 miles they are toast and get replaced free of charge. Here's a link to the thread I started concerning my van and its...

    UltraMaxx cargo van

    That's not true. Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the only states that outlaw tinted windshields. All other states allow the windshield tint anywhere from 3 to 6 inches from the top, with many states using the AS-1 line as the bottom limit.

    Forks over Knives

    I like animals, I like vegetables and I eat both. I believe the key is moderation. Mix it up, animals, vegetables, fruit, grains, sea food etc. You don't need to be a wacko vegan to eat healthy. Like the Chef stated, avoid the canned and packaged foods.
