    GPS Locating County Rd. Addresses.

    I always double check the routing with my DeLorme mapping program on the laptop .... it gives a bigger view, in case I don't like the routing the GPS provides, those things do weird things!

    Need DOT Cargo Van Inspection location ASAP.

    He was probably asking me .... since the Sprinter has disc brakes .. and they work just fine ... 170,000 miles and not worn at all ..... of course I don't use brakes much, I try to drive with enough clearance I can just ease off the throttle. :cool:

    Finish this sentence...The coolest thing I have ever hauled is...

    I also did one of those! I asked the guide, "What if I run outta fuel way back here?" ... He said, "We have lot's of diesel fuel." I was never allowed to see, or know, what was on the truck. I think the "neatest" thing I hauled was a particle accelerator from the SUNY facility out on Long...

    Need DOT Cargo Van Inspection location ASAP.

    Landstar contractors do not pay for the inspection, and they have a list of inspectors certified to do their inspections. That is the biggest rub ... often there is no Landstar certified inspector available.

    Marathon, Exit 2, I-65 Kentucky ... just fyi

    Yes. it is the Keystop .... and while I was inside a bit ago, I heard the manager at the Burger King say they are putting in a salad bar real soon ... If ya pull yer van right up in their faces by the front door, the wi-fi is an excellent signal. Not so much out here in the parking lot. Right...

    Marathon, Exit 2, I-65 Kentucky ... just fyi

    They have a super clean place, have free wi-fi and provide showers with fuel purchases. Beats the J across the street! And if ya really hungry, the Waffle House is just west of the Interstate! I fuel there a lot with the Marathon credit card, so I can get my rebate!

    Shore Power

    Thanks for joining in ShorePower. I also, being a driver of a Sprinter van would wonder if the "big boys" would be aggravated with a van taking a parking space, if parking is already limited. One thought might be to contact Petro/TA, they have desiginated parking for expediters in vans and...

    Reflective Tape

    Interesting thread ... did you know Landstar requires red/white tape on the rear of their vans? Another sidebar, NEVER install the reflective tape used on school busses, that tape is reserved for them, as it is brighter than any other you can buy.
