    New J in Fargo

    Denny's is good for breakfast, nothing else. I guess I'm just getting tired of all the Denny's. They do need to mix it up a bit, Huddle House is at least an alternative. It reminded me of being in a Waffle House.

    Got my load out of Fargo. Heading to Des Moines IA. Not a much better place to be, but closer to home and more then covers DH if I decide to go home from there.

    Sitting MT in Fargo. Last week was great, this week seems a bit slow. Or is it just because of where I'm sitting?

    Opinions on self defense

    No, with my cv they never seem to notice me there. I wouldn't try getting the free breakfast. Some ( in the northern states) even have shore power.

    New J in Fargo

    It's much larger and now had a restaurant inside. I've been to the one you mentioned, that one is very nice also.

    GM CV owners

    Well, so much for "Hope and Change" with my van. Again a little disappointed with that. Definitely starts easier and idles smoother but no more power or no better fuel milage. Still glad I did the tune-up but was Hoping the Change would have given me more milage.

    New J in Fargo

    I'm at the new J tonight in Fargo. It replaced the old one in the same location. Very nice, lots of showers, much better lounge area, larger store. They also have a Cinnabon inside and an attached Huddle House restaurant. I'll try their breakfast in the morning and see if its better then the...

    Is possible to heat a CV with an electric heater?

    I bought a 2,000 watt generator. Would I be able to comfortably heat my cargo van with a 1,500 watt milk house style heater?

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    I actually started expediting again in August 2011. Just didn't find this site until June of 2012. Also did this for a while in 1998-99 but quit for a while. Fuel prices were rising, they wanted me to pay for a Qualcomm, they wanted me to buy a newer van and they wanted to cut my rate from...

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    7 pages? I drive a silver unmarked van. I have never been denied access to a shipper or receiver. I have never been pulled over by the police, even when taking short cuts through neighborhoods. I have never been questioned or asked to leave a truck stop or rest area. I have never been questioned...

    Cargo Van Owners opinion

    I would check your local auto salvage yard. 4.8 are cheap and they can install it for you and they usually give some kind of warranty. Your looking at putting more into the van then it's worth with that mileage. Just my opinion.

    Still in Laredo TX but not sitting much. My dispatch has been getting me local work until they can get me out. Wednesday I ran a local Laredo to Laredo, then a Laredo to Eagle Pass TX and then a Del Rio back to Laredo. Grossed $425 and used less then a tank of fuel, but I'm still here! I would...

    Voting problems already.. let the conspiracies begin!

    I brought that question up to the mayor (my next door neighbor) in the small town where I live. I asked him what would prevent these electronic voting machines from reading votes as wrongly programmed (on purpose) instead of reading what was intended. He assured that he personally checks the...
