    GM 4500 Cargo Van

    I don't know if I'd say never...the van makers are so close to the limit now..Dodge seems to know the limit...look at the 07 Sprinter at 9990 gvrw. By rating these over 10,000 they take themselves out of a bigger market...GM should really look at rating the 4500 at 9990. It may not be the Feds...

    Hawk...you bring up a good point...Whats so wrong with McCain? So he tells the truth? He tells the American public we are going to war when HE thinks it's necessary? He sure is old school..Maybe tougher then nails is what this country needs? Just maybe he'll get tough about Asian trade?

    Hawk I like your post the best...It condenses what the others had to type long winded speeches to say!! For me after 6 years I don't need alot of money BUT if I were to start thinking I only need a 1,000 a week I'd be lucky to make that...I work as if I were hungry I am constantly planning...

    I started that thread last month "Is America ready for a Black President" It looks like that question is getting answered... As crunch time is fast approaching the back room politics and white power brokers are doing their thing... People did that politically correct thing and supported a black...

    New fuel program in Panther

    Twomothers said "I was not very clear about this one. LAST I KNEW, Dispatchers were rated on things like Load Acceptance, Load Refusal, Gross Profit and others. If this is still the case, the dispatchers themselves are rated on the number of loads they offer that are accepted or refused. Ergo...

    New fuel program in Panther

    Sorry Leo...it's a floating number as prices fluctuate. Example: 500m. x22mpg = 22.72 gallons 22.72 x 3.95 = $89.74 FSC .18 x 500 = $90.00....I would pocket .26. If I get 24mpg. It would cost $82.27 for fuel, hence netting me $7.73! If I take this profit and apply it to some of the cheap...

    Understanding Return on Investment (ROI)

    I can understand the concept of ROI, but it seems to such a fluid formula based on a specific personal need. I kind of break mine down to the phrase "did the vehicle pay for itself over it's lifetime?" If my van costs $50,000 with interest, team operated and makes 80,000/ year x say 5 yrs...

    RE: Toyota Wins

    Buck...completely, as 100% American made...they use no parts from any other country? Lets see Whirlpool/Maytag are the only U.S appliance maker left here in North America. If you've ever hauled out of Laredo or Hildago or El Paso you'd know where a lot of their parts are made.
