    16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfort/c

    RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Thad: I went to the link you provided and one of the pictures showed a placard listing the load capacity to be 2,600#. Figure in a co-driver, gear and a sleeper and you don't have much left to work with. You may want to do some more...

    Home For The Holidays?

    I did a 550 mile run Monday. Got a mini in the Chicago area Tuesday and thought I would call it a year. Just got home about 2 hours ago and plan on staying here until January 2, 2007. Oh yea, I have my underoos on. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to all!

    Layover near O'Hare

    As Terry mentioned the Wooddale Mall wich is located just west of I-290 between Golf road and Higgins. Also the former Denny's which is now renovated and called something else. It is located west of O'Hare on Busse (Ill. 83) between Devon and Thorndale in Bensenville. When it was Denny's it...

    Parking Overnight while in Chicago

    There used to be a Denny's on the corner of Busse (Ill. 83) and I think Mark Street. It is between Devon and Thorndale. That was a hang out for expediters in vans and straight trucks until they closed some years ago. I went by there last week and it has been rebuilt and no longer is a...

    Having some difficulties..

    Danny, resetting the computer will only turn off the check engine light and may remove any stored fault codes. You definitely have a problem that is causing such a serious drop in fuel mileage.

    leg cramps

    I try to walk as much as possible. When I stop at a rest area during the day I will park at one end of the lot thus forcing me to walk the furthest distance. At truck stops I will walk the perimeter during the day. Enclosed shopping malls offer the walker protection from the weather and are...

    Dock Height?

    I carry a 12'chain, a pair of pallet tongs and a nylon tow strap. If it will fit into my van, it will come out.

    Nice IRA 2?

    I'm not sure pumpernickle is immortal. It's rich brown color and open texture can camouflage the blue-green color of mold. As far as samwiches go, pumpernickle can't be beat. Yummy! I have experimented with the travelability of different breads over the years. Whether traveling by canoe or...

    Having some difficulties..

    If the "check engine" light came on it should have thrown a fault code. Don't know why the twelve year old mechanic at Auto Bonz couldn't read it. As Greg suggested a trip to the Ford dealer might be in order. I don't rely on my fuel gauge for accurate information. I keep track of my...

    Founder of J.B. Hunt Passes away.

    Monfort, whoa, blast from the past. Most of those Monfort drivers were crazy. They drove way too fast. I know eastern Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska are flat and wide open but it seemed they would continue to build speed the farther east they went. I guess that's why they got a lane named...

    how large is large

    I believe size refers to fleet size. Fleet size equates to the total number of units under lease.

    Fort McMurray, Alberta.

    Phreak, my condolences on your deer(antelope)truck collision. Better hitting the deer dead on than swerving to avoid it and rolling in the ditch. Sounds as if this trip has all the makings as "THE TRIP FROM HELL". Hope you get fixed up and back on the road soon. Stay out of those sheep bars...

    I probably shouldn't haul any more powder cheese loads. Also will the cats on my van be a problem?
