You could always add a couple of small RV windows on either side for light, view and fresh air.

My first van was on with Con-Way and had fixed windows in the swing side doors and rear doors. All windows were cover with limo tint and all had removable 1" insulation board. My current van with Panther has no windows on the side door, but does have swing out windows on the rear doors...

Johnf, if your CHECK ENGINE light came on that would indicate a problem related to the emission control system. It could be something as simple as an oxygen sensor or a loose gas cap. If the On-Board Diagnostic system threw a fault code, what was it? A poor performing engine could cause...

Good luck explaining that one to Officer Krupke.

West side story? "Most of the western state runs required a lift gate or reefer." Tony and Maria lived on the westside and never had a lift gate or reefer and look how screwed up their lives became. Truly a sad story.

Whenever I drive west I gain valuable time. At first it is only seconds, then minutes and eventually hours. I can gain 3 precious hours driving from Ohio to California. Once I drove across the International Date Line and gained a whole day. I was near midnight on a Sunday when I crossed...

driving is a privilege, not a right. The following is from page 5 of the Michigan Driver's Manual: Introduction What Every Driver Must Know contains information about operating a motor vehicle safely on Michigan roads. Although this publication includes information about many Michigan...

Turtle's Rule Of Thirds As mentioned this is a great ballpark figure for how your revenue should be allocated and it is also visually appealing.

I would use the manufacturers curb weight only as a guide. My 2004 Chevrolet Buyer's Guide doesn't list a curb weight. Instead it gives the GVRW (9600#) and the base payload (3975#) One could infer the curb weight to be the difference between these two numbers (5625). But there are several...

Wow this thread started with a third hand account of alleged police harassment. About the only thing this thread demonstrates is we all have an opinion. It sure was a different world back then. I'm a product of the 1950's. Most of the cops were WW II vets. Most of my male teachers were...

Watching a show about Knob Creek with a segment on the machine gun contest, followed by the flame thrower competition. The idea is to shoot up a perfectly good belt of ammunition, spewing high speed lead projectiles. That's right, take a good belt of ammunition and destroy it at a cost...

Answers to me deese questums: -How much money did this class cost? -Did coverloads.com help you obtain your dispatcher's license? -How many loads have you successfully dispatched in the past 12 hours? -Are coverloads.com credits transferable to other schools? -How many loads have you...

And you believed him? Did he say who was pulling these cargo vans over? Was it the Fuller Brush Man, Kalamazoo PD or state patrol? In your conversation with this company owner did he use the word "apparently" when explaining this to you, or did you add the word for this post? If his drivers...

Moot 18:9 And if easy credit causes you to sin, tear up your credit cards. It's better to enter eternal life with no credit cards than to have a wallet full of credit cards and burn in Hades. If your left foot causes you to sin, chop it off. It is better to enter eternal life driving an...

I consider myself fairly normal, at least when it comes to financial matters. I am a baby boomer. My mother and father grew up during the Great Depression. The only loan my parents ever had was a 20 year G.I. mortgage on their post war crackerbox. Everything else, cars included were paid for...

I have always equated a low rear end gear ratio with poorer fuel economy, especially in over the road applications. An old rule of thumb was a 4.10 or lower required an overdrive or double overdrive transmission to improve fuel efficiency. The Freightliner in question has an Allison 3200...

Bruno, if you or someone you love is having problems with a company mandated physician or clinic for DOT physicals, seek legal advise! I'm sure a creative attorney could put the fear of God into a company simply by bringing up the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) or the SPE (Skills...

Maybe Supreme will used these lightweight panels on their smaller boxes instead of plywood core FRP.

I don't either. Especially when the spec sheet lists a 4.56 axle ratio.

Why not earn rewards with a credit card? You can use the banks money for free, get reward points, be liable for only the first $50 of fraudulent use and have a powerful bank backing you on any contested purchases. The only advantage I can see with a debit card is if you get a cash discount...
