Tell the guy that any sporting goods store sells a pee bottle for just such problems. I bought one months ago to avoid having to run inside in the middle of the night. Hate having to put on my shoes just for that.

Is a 2007 Sprinter worth putting that much money into repairs? Seems like the repairs may exceed the value of the van! Just my opinion, but I know nothing about Sprinters.

EMT in Omaha NE. Time for a nap.

Milwaukee WI to Kearny NE last night for 8am delivery. Then Columbus NE to Elk Grove Village IL for 6am delivery this morning. Time for a power nap now in consignee's parking lot. Only 60 miles from home but it's only Wednesday!

Milwaukee WI to Kearney NE. Deliver at 8am.

I pay my own insurance and cargo insurance, both with Progressive. Seeing how Progressive would know about the rental because their paying for it, it seems like you would need to fax some paperwork to your carrier so they knew the serial numbers. Good point, I guess I need to ask more questions...

If you get the AAA RV card they will also change flat tires or tow a disabled trailer. I have the AAA "PLUS RV" card. I also have roadside assistance with my Progressive Insurance. They would have no choice but to tow the insured vehicle, they know what you have upfront. That only costs me an...

Question about running my CV into California. How tough of an inspection do they do before allowing you to enter? My van currently has a crack in the windshield (I'll get it replaced when it gets worse) and my "check engine" light is on. The light is a evaporative emissions code and does not...

Finally got out of Elmira NY. DH to Scranton PA, pickup in the morning and deliver to Melrose Park IL. Only 70 miles from home on a Friday. Can you guess where I'm spending my weekend?

Scott, you hit it perfectly. That's exactly the reason they gave me for the milage spike in the beginning.

Thanks, good info to know.

Can you cross into Canada without a passport also? I have turned down loads to Alaska because the retired person I was going to take along for backup didn't have a passport. By the way, the loads to Alaska always pay full rate both directions.

Sure will. I'll report the good and the bad. With the increasing fuel prices it should save me even more fuel money, if it lives up to their claims.

Had Firestones on my CV. Wore like iron, lasted what seemed like forever. Bought 4 new Bridgetones and have 70,000+ miles on them. They still look really good. I check tire pressure every week, take a good look everytime I fuel and paid extra to get a great front end alignment at a shop that...

Yes, still around $220. Some weeks I cross 4-5 times and then don't cross for a couple of weeks. My carrier only has a few with passports willing to do this so I can make some DH demands and get more per mile for the entire trip. They have already sent me to Canada, had me sit in Fargo and had...

To get a FAST card, isn't that something your carrier has to do? Can I get one on my own? The transponder is January 1st to January 1st so it's too late to get one this year.

I noticed the same thing, I even told that to the Canadian guards. I told them they were always friendly and going back to the states empty was more trouble then entering Canada loaded. They of course smiled and thanked me for my comment. Sometimes I'm nervous that they won't let me back into...

That's not correct, he has responded to my request. I called Casey and spent some time on the phone asking questions. He assured me he had insurance in place in case of an engine failure (which I was assured never happens) and he did send me the unit and the fluids that it uses. I just haven't...
