    Charlotte and Atlanta at a all time low been stuck for 7 days...

    Now I'm getting worried. I just moved closer to Atlanta hoping to get a load from there. Not even 24 hours yet, but very much prefer making money to sitting. Especially sitting in Atlanta!

    New Ford Van

    They are using existing proven engines on the North American Transit. I don't see why the emissions would be a huge problem. They also are claiming its going to be the best riding and handling van that Ford has ever built. Dealer guessing that the 3.5 Ecoboost should get 21+ mpg. As good or...

    They tried charging the broker. They refused and I'm thankful my carrier stepped up.

    a bad and costly trend....Detention time

    Had a 5 hour delay at a pick up in WI. Broker refused to pay anything extra. Fortunately my carrier kicked in some extra money so I did very well. But then, the broker wants to know why I'm running late and not going to make my protect time! Duh. And that was right after that recent huge...

    New Ford Van

    I'm hoping the delays are because they are working hard to get it right. Not because of problems! I'm leaning towards the Ford because of the fuel milage and that's it looks a bit less "commercial".

    New Ford Van

    Funny thing that Ford did was rate the 350 srw chassis at only 9,500# and the drw at 9,950. Seems that the weight of the extra tires and wheels would take away any possible gain in weight carrying capacity. They do also have both lighter and heavier weight versions. I'm only concerned with the...

    New Ford Van

    Visited my local Ford dealer Monday morning. They have all the specs to order a new van. Claims they'll be out in June, this year! He would only guarantee a September delivery because he stated that large fleet orders have priority. Fleets like FedEx and UPS get theirs first. (Probably because...

    Yes, but there's no competition from other vans over here! LOL. If nothing by midday, I'll head towards Atlanta. Having a good week already and it's only Tuesday.

    April locations and more

    I'm at the beautiful Pilot in Dublin GA. No showers, no drivers lounge, very little parking and no restaurant, not even their normal Subway! Afraid to move, I took the last van parking spot. LOL

    Check it out and tell me!!

    So, the oil pressure gauge reads max 80 psi with the engine not even running? First you need to get that fixed. Sending unit or bad gauge? Or hook up a direct oil pressure monitor. Then see what it really has for oil pressure. Does it run and drive good? The noise could be an ac compressor or...

    Used Expediter

    If you go to the eBay listing and click description, there are plenty of interior and inside box pictures. If you search their inventory, they have another almost identical Unicell with a Dura Max diesel. And a nice Ford with a high top.
