    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    Same here! I drop the 2x6 into the E-track holders. The E-track on the backside of the 2x6 is used for looping a strap around for securing small loose freight like pails and such.

    BEWARE OF THIS DRIVER/BAD NEWS

    Broom: Sure it's a business, but lighten up. Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff because it is all small stuff. No reason we can't some fun in this business. When the fun leaves expediting, I too will leave expediting.

    I saw a billboard in southern Missouri last week that pictured an old guy with a V.F.W. hat and said something to the effect that state casinos contributed over a million dollars to the V.F.W. Who could argue against that? Of course they failed to mention all the poor morons that are dumping...

    WHY ARE MOST EXPEDITER TRUCKS WHITE ???

    Expediter trucks and vans are white because Henry Ford bought all the black paint. Con-Way Now required white vans and trucks with a white box, but they did make some exceptions.

    All time favorite movies.....

    Put me down for all the Wallace and Gromets. I like the shorts better than Curse of the Wererabbit. All the Cohen Brothers movies. The stranger and quirkier the movie the more often I can watch it.

    heat in cargo van

    If I ran a diesel van I would definitely go with an Espar. I've got a -30 degree rectangular sleeping bag from Cabelas for $80. I unzip my down mummy bag and stuff it in the rectangular bag and then pull it up over my head. I find sleeping in a mummy bag to be too confining. The Mr. Buddy...
