    Ice less coolers

    I bet when it's parked and I'm inside that it gets way over 85 degrees. I like your extra insulation idea. Wonder if I could find one that fits nicely inside a traditional ice chest.

    Ice less coolers

    Has anyone tried those ice less coolers that they sell at truck stops? They cost between $40 - $99 and only claim to keep the temperature about 20-35 degrees cooler then the ambient temperature around them. Do they work or are they kind of useless? With the truck sitting in 100 degree temps for...

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    In Laredo last weekend I was parked next to a yellow ex Penske cube. Had bold decals on the box "Ground Flight LLC" and small decals on the door. Was being driven by a team. Actually they were good people just doing their expediting thing. Didn't ask if it was a company owned truck!

    The dreaded "Misfire".....

    Does it do this every time? I have the same engine and if I start it and notice a rough idle, I shut the engine down and restart it. Sometimes computers don't properly reset on startup. I've had this with cars also. Or, with the 4.8 each cylinder has its own coil pack. Possibly one or more...

    Sprinter drivers that run for multiple carriers, who do you run for?

    I ran 3 for a while when I started. One got mad that I was never available and cut me. The 2nd one always seemed to have work but it was really a challenge getting them to pay me. I got tired of begging, calling and even demanding my money, so I stopped running for them. I've been in this for...
