    a load 1 post

    Really??? Now I'm wondering!!! Hmmm. Many things come into play including how drivers handle different loads. Some drivers can't handle longer distances as well as others. Some have requested to stay in a certain area. I get very few short runs. I go to the the terminal and see 4-5 vans...

    Didn't know what you were working on! Could have been a fleet of CV's for all I know. Just trying to help.

    Snap-On Bluepoint Pockett I.Q. Scan tool????

    If your just checking codes and want to clear them, AutoZone had one on sale for $45 right now. Harbor Freight has one for $80 on sale. It works on vehicles 1996 and newer. I'm talking CV's or cars. Don't know if it works on HD trucks

    Why do you not use TA/Petro as your primary truck stop?

    The only reason I avoid T/A and Petro is because I can't swipe my Expediter Ultra One card at the pumps. If you take your receipt inside when your done putting GAS in your CV they will tell you that they will load your points manually. So, wait in line, **** off everyone else behind you because...

    Atlas Shrugged 2 the movie

    I hope some theaters will play them back to back, with an intermission. That would give me time to empty out and then refill my drink and popcorn. I just watched both trailers, they look like great movies. The new one is a bit scary in that its what I see coming in the not too distant future. I...

    It says "find a gym". There is also a free 7 day trial available on their site. Worth looking into if your considering this club.

    Multi-Carrier Thread

    I ran this morning Milwaukee to Gary IN for one carrier. Now I'm running from Gary to Indy for a different carrier. About an hour off between loads. I'll be empty again about 14:00 and have a good start to the week.

    Generator Mounting Options

    For the drivers having problems with sway or bouncing up and down you could try this. It retails for under $20. The StowAway Hitch Tightener is the best design we have used -- bar none. •Prevents hitch wobble •Easy to install with a single wrench •Heavy duty steel construction •Works...

    Generator Mounting Options

    I do already have the factory tow package so YES, I already have a Rear receiver hitch. I would have to fabricate a front mount somehow. I can't seem to find a Front receiver hitch for the newer GM vans.

    Generator Mounting Options

    My van has a water temp gauge Isn't that the same as an engine temp gauge? I was going to build a box as low and tapered forward as the generator/fuel tank would allow. In the city the fan should draw enough air flow and on the road air is moving everywhere. I wasn't anticipating a cooling...

    Generator Mounting Options

    Well I finally broke down and bought one of those 2000 watt inverter generators. Carrying it inside is not an option, smells and could possibly lose loads over the fuel inside the van. Now, what is the best way to mount it on a GM CV? I have been thinking about installing a front receiver hitch...

    Yup, only place I've ever delivered in Saskatoon. Been there probably 6 times in the last year, never got out so quickly as this time. What's nice is that the J is straight north from the plant about a mile or two. Free Wi Fi and has a Denny's.

    I had a fairly good week, again the freight gods were with me. I reluctantly took a load from Walkerton IN to Saskatoon SK, 1,461 miles. Left from home Monday afternoon to pickup in IN, deadhead 120+ miles on my dime. Ran straight through to Saskatoon, took 7 hour nap along the way, still...

    Empty spaces

    When you upgraded your iPhone to 6.0 did you lose any contacts or apps? Been a little scared to do it. I don't want to start over again. Thanks

    Dot regulations

    Why not do the reverse. Get a cv based rv and pull a 5' wide, 12' long dual axle cargo trailer. You could haul 3 skids, have 6.5" of hight, have 5,000# weight capacity and never have to drop the trailer to do your p/u or deliverys. CV's can pull a lot of weight with a tow package. And, now your...
