In a current Truck Topics article Michelle Potter, President of Con-Way Expedite says: "The cargo van business is still 30%-40% of what we do every day." This of course doesn't mean that cargo vans are hauling these loads. Just that 30-40% are A or B loads.

This could give dieseldoctor ideas for his next project.

Deadhead pay and layover pay are negotiable! Try it sometime.

Ask my daughter. She's 23 and still watches that crap.

Im not sure about Jevic, but I believe many carriers are using the word "expedite" as a sales pitch. CRST has trailers that say "expedite van division". I don't consider this to be true expediting, at least not the exclusive use, straight through door to door service. I think we will see more...

The revolution will not be televised. It will be pre-empted by Real World.

Nothing quite like the sound of an old Detroit. I think they still make the 2 cycles for marine and off road use. The only Detriot I ever ran was in a Brazilain made Ford cabover straight truck. I believe that one ran up to 3000 or 3200 r.p.m. Not near as much fun as the bigger ones with a...

Nice truck Ateam. I have wondered why you have waited so long to purchase your own truck. After reading the article I see why. A year to build this truck and the delay and cancelation of the original order. I guess that set you back at least 1 1/2 years. Maybe over the next couple of...

Maybe that nice lady up in Flint could moderate this forum.

May I suggest a Kool Aid only diet. Wouldn't want any protesters to get dehydrated.

OOIDA office is in Missouri, just east of K.C. on the south side of I-70 about mm 22 or 24. The building can be seen from the big road.

Greg, When my daughter moved home after college her bunny accompanied her. His name is Bucky. He is a soft and fuzzy Holland Lop. If you are interested I will throw in his cage and a Crock Pot.

Congratulations Cheri on becoming an EO Moderator! Have fun on the Loading Dock and keep it OSHA compliant. Watch out for that forklift.

I once worked for a "dream expedite company". Unfortunately when the Q.C. beeped with my very first load offer I woke up.

Purple Haze, Gabby Hayes, Willies Mayes, Helen Hayes, scuse me while I kiss the sky. Kiss dat guy? Help me!

Con-Way pays extra for hasmat loads. Vans get $29.00. I don't know how much C, D and E units receive. Purple Haze? I don't think Jimmy was singing about rocket fuel.

Even with a reefer you have the hour meter and should be able to arrive at a reasonable fuel consumption average. With this Uncle Sam would be hard pressed to prove otherwise. An average would be better than nothing.

Sleep can become habit forming. Partake in moderation.

Other than brakes, tires and batteries the only parts I replaced were a fuel pump (1), U-joints and a heater core. When I sold the van it still had the original water pump, alternator, shocks, exhaust system and springs. Transmision was fine. Had it flushed and refilled every 150,000. Had to...

With roll-up doors you have to sacrafice some interior width to accomodate the roller tracks. You will also give up some overhead clearance to accomodate the door in the open position. Leo what is the over all height of your truck? I'm guessing just over 13'. Maybe 13'2? A Team mentioned...
