Hard to roll when you are waiting for "non-essential" parts to do your essential job They've managed to figure out how to verify a credit card after 7 days. Congrats to them, a human really outdoes that computer Over $500 gets manually verified. I don't even want to hear it. I have 0...

Yeah but I got $325 for my last van. I'd list it as many places as I could Selling something locally, they think mileage is a problem

Unlike my neighbors, I'm doing my best to find work :cool:

Just made $20 changing somebody's xenon headlight in front of my house. (We social distanced and I wore gloves, but it was to avoid touching the glass)

Half here are trying to get out of expedite. Job switch, maybe? Expedited for OTR straight swap....

Preliminary numbers are in. If you use our unemployment insurance numbers for the Covid benefit: All jobs gained in Canada since 1986 have been wiped out :tearsofjoy: . 19 million working prior to 3rd week of March this year, 12 million now. We've burned through 22 billion of the the 24...

May 4th here. But with a warning they will work on food and medical supply chains first. So June if we're lucky Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Thank you. (For reminding me why I have an old sprinter) To me, it's 25% of what I paid for it 4 years ago. And likely exceeding the current value. Trying to make sure I'm in position to get what I want later. I have a feeling we aren't seeing the "pandemic pricing" yet, but we will Oh...

Never thought i'd live to see it. They're calling in the Army. No, that's not what I mean. Toronto calls in the Army for 2 inches of snow. They called in the Army to OLD AGE HOMES. End of days, people :tonguewink:

He's not far from me, but I don't want to get into freight charges - plus cross border Wrong place to break down, there's thousands of old delivery sprinters in Toronto making the used market hard I'm good with $600 for brand new sks bearings. The rest is tools I'll have forever, that I've...

One of my favorite videos. "Bad day at work" type series on YouTube I think

Is this the right place to complain my rearend rebuild will cost $600 in parts and $400 in tools? No? No sympathy? I believe it should have lasted longer than 450k miles, but the floppy driveshaft disagrees. Anyway no used units, and it's $800 for something with 200,000 miles if I shipped it...

Here's some input For America’s Small Truckers, Demand Is ‘Falling Off a Cliff’

Found the solution already! It would definitely help if I either got free fuel, or they paid me to take it. U.S. oil prices crash below zero for the first time in history |

Oh this is interesting. https://www.freightbrokerlive.com/breaking-news-truckers-block-interstate-610-in-houston-to-protest-low-rates/ The single thing that would make anybody pay attention Now should it be in the middle of a pandemic? Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Well, you seem to know the worst that could happen. People are just trying to say it likely will. So in other words, if you think it's a slam-dunk start. That is, when you find a source of freight There's one guy on here that simply found a bunch of drivers that take low pay and live in their...

Think it has 4.10 gears for some reason if my memory serves. It is a limited slip Oh well. I should get off the internet and fix my sprinter :p passing the April thread torch to those actually working

Anybody with an 06 or memory of one? I'd always thought it was too thirsty Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

It's a 2006. They came out with a much better version of the 6.0 later, maybe that's why? My 2003 Dodge Ram Van with a 5.2 got 15 highway. So I dunno... but yeah it had 1200 lbs of natural gas tanks BEFORE the freight was added.... Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

That's the rub. Very very few companies allow that for obvious reasons Mine does, but it's the result of a lawsuit before it was bought out by a huge company. They lost the ability to call us self-employed while telling us what to do, and how and where to do it Most I've known who take their...
