Does anyone know what, if any is the legal luminums for a headlight? They sure are getting real bright in oncoming traffic.

FACT: I'll gladly show you the BOL's that plainly indicate the shipment was originally going to a substandard carrier, but due to difficulties with that carrier, a critical shipment was placed into my van. I always ask the shipping clerk why the BOL has another carriers name listed. More often...

>The Cavaliers overachieved this year...they didn't belong in >the finals, it's just that nobody told them . A few more >pieces to the puzzle and they'll go all the way. Remember the Pistons a few years back...all kids, no playoff experience shouldn't have been in the big game and they took...

You'll notice it's the owners not taking the overweights more then drivers..what do they care?...a loads a load? right? They don't have to fix that slipping tranny or replace that blown engine or replace them springs and shocks and on and on....an extra .05 cents a mile is not going to reverse...

Rock...thats metric ya know...eh???;)

Fastrod..thank for those numbers..even though they are completely useless as most carriers only use numbers as a guidline not reality. I can only hual 2300 roughly and E-1 has me registered at that... Bolts I find outrageously high 3500 lbs???? That would make the empty ticket at 5050...

Well David....I don't know who your reference is for load totals but since your using the .70 It's got to be an E-1 as thats there NLM rate for cargo vans. And yes I've taken them. I am at a loss to WHY your comparing anyhow? The Sprinter is just a cargo van that happens to be able to take on...

One thing I've learned from living in South Dakota....Its the deer you DON'T see that gets ya!! Instead of watching the one crossing look to the side and see the others!!!

In this day and age of sue this and sue that. I assuming we'd be liable somewhere along the line. Overweight is just that overweight!!! If one takes a load of greater capacity then it's rated for, the flood gates would be opened.

Recent adventure: Was supposed to pick up 4 bins for about 2200 lbs when got there they had 5 ready for 2900 lbs. I said do not put on the 5th one I'll take the 4 that I was dispatched on. Shipper said he paid for the whole van. E-1 asked why I wouldn't take it when I had room and said alot of...

I get 22-24 mpgs you do the math....the moves worth it. But I don't think Bucyrus would be necesary...Beaverdams would do fine as a jumping point.

I think the C units have taken the biggest hit with the Sprinter then CV's. NLM loads us up 6 of that double stacked, 8 of those. I don't care for that much.

At least at E-1 we are reimbursed for the bigger load ALL the time don't have to negotiate or beg. And I personally won't overload my van. I refuse to take it. Not to sweat it,there'll always be another load.

that would be char-broiled owl???

And we back here in the east are supposed to do what? Feel remorse regret? On the flip side some just maybe truely stuck in thier situation and can't get anything done about it cuz they are surrounded by stars and high profile people....save a toad, burn a house.

Every year we here of these destructive fires... Why don't they have a grass eradication(control) program out 1 mile from all housing? Wouldn't it be cheaper then all this every year?

Moot...I understand: Just cause its bigger doesn't mean its better!*snickers*

I think small straight is just a designation for the rate of pay an identifier of the equipment. Real truck??? Now that hurt!! *L*

LBD said "To be classified as a C unit a truck has to be dock high, have 14' of floor space and scale 5k. Sprinters, as good as they are, fall short on all three scales. Should they be another category in between? I personally think so even though I don't run any of them. I think they should be...

I personally think its getting way to automated instead of good ole fashioned contact and common sense. A dispatcher should more in tune with his companies calling patterns and move the fleet around more effectively. Its called work and thinking!! EI: Why move eveyone to Atlanta when there are...
