Yes, I've heard buzz of this while talking to the reg's at the Detroiter and the most popular reason being... a 2.7 liter engine is too small as this model is an import from Europe, 70 to 80 MPH over here plus the weight takes a toll on these small engines. JuJu and I are waiting to till they...

Grant me, O Lord the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I cannot accept and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off Also help me to be careful of the toes I step on today. As they may be connected...

On the issue of upgrading van weight limits I was refering to Technically improving the vans capabilities as in heavier trannys and bigger motors even going back to a manual tranny if needed. It's been said necessity is the mother of invention. I am always looking for ways to improve on MY class...

Well, up here in CanLand we're getting a little innovative. If ya seen those vans at Expo 2003 with the Unix bubble. Some owners are taking on 6,000lbs and then some! AND one guy even upgraded his rear end and taking nearly 8 thou! Taking some loads off the 5T's and getting what we have is a 3T...

Tony I absolutely agree with you! We van drivers may get our single skids back. Dispatchers will have to save thier big loads for the right truck just not give a skid away to keep the big guys happy. Smarter dispatchers gee what a novelty! This mess will eventually get straightened out but...

Hey team..JuJU and I were in the Detrioter yesterday ( our 2nd home of late )and bumped into this guy who was reseaching expediting, he was recently talking to a Panther2 recruiter and was told they are NOT looking for more van drivers at this time! If true I know this is good news you you...
