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!

Being the spoil sport I am .... who paid for it, and who's gonna ride it? Nothing like ya tax dollars going for a project, then have to pay to use it!

Apologies accepted .. welcome aboard!

Washington, Idaho and Oregon are not Pre Pass members, they use NorPass, and YES they do compute the time from one location to another. I KNOW ..... I claim the 5th on the details! When you cross the Scale/POE in Farwell Bend, Or and receive a citation in Medford, Or a few days later, after...

I always rotate mine front to rear It seems to work, I also am coming up on a needed roataion, and I have 105,000 on these tires ... one more rotation and I will most likely purchase 4 new Firestone Transforce AT I have had great service from them, and I anticipate and addition 20-30,000...

I see the dual wheel will do 4,900 pounds .... but I wonder what the dry weight is? Wonder if it will come in under 10,000 pounds

History repeats it's self! I took a jet engine down from Ct for that facility years ago. Bush1 was President, and was in Indiana stumping for re-election. I asked for the nickle tour .. they let me PEEK inside Marine 1 .... but said if I touched they would shoot me! I got out of there with...

Are walk in's welcome? I didn't register, but I may indeed be in the area .... if so?

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:

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...

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.

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...

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!

Landstar has a network of inspection sites, and they provide the form for the van also. Most Ta/Petro shops can do them ....

I have a Logitech .. I shoot videos with it and sometimes stream it live if anything is interesting.

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...

Sounds like a good deal . those truck specfic units, especially the Rand mcNally are pretty much worthless.

Did y'all read how he learned this? There is a follow up to the story. Her posts were hidden from family, by choice. But, the dog has it's own FB page, and she forgot to place it on ignore ... while posting some pictures of the dog, the post was seen. He didn't go diggin for it. My advise to my...

Here's one I did and sent to Famous Dave's .. trying to get them to consider a Dayton location! I had a lot of fun with it, but alas, still no Famous Daves in Dayton! Guess I should include the link .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94OP5KZKY7k :mad:

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.
