    Flying J coffee?

    See they've kept to the BIG urn system so the staff isn't making coffee all the time so they can run short staff...as always. The urns aren't heated neither to save a couple more cents!! They blew it again!! They shoulda looked at the Pilot way now...smaller urns and Columbia brand...

    My first big problem...

    See thats part of the problem, Dodge brainwashes owners into thinking Sprinter Only Dealers...Once the warrenty is up there's no onus to use one other then maybe computer or sensor problems...and if your local mech doesn't charge a mark-up for parts, he'll usually be cheaper and just as good....

    Congress does it again

    Ya know IF this war IS all about the OIL....I don't think the government has much faith on the people of the U.S. I think if the supply was temperarily interupted Americans would respond and cut back, and supported their government as like in the great wars with metal collection...and all that...

    Not new to trucking, but considering Expedited services

    This can be a rewarding business....BUT a cargo van now under these conditions? I think I'd stay with your dump truck at least until after the Pres election and see which way things are going to go......If you crunch the numbers a fleet driver is lucky to make a buck an hour...I wouldn't even...
