A few years ago when I was driving a sprinter I delivered to San Diego and I spent 2 or 3 days at a couple of Wal-Marts around there. Nobody bothered me back then. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

John said that it means nothing. It is just how the map does things occasionally. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

A few years ago when my friend took his Promaster for an oil change at a dodge/ram dealer they didnt even know what a promaster was. The guy went like "pro what?" When my friend pointed to his van he said "oh yeah, we don't service those." Makes no sense, other than they might not have lifts big...

Nope, not ready to hang up the staright truck keys just yet. Maybe when I retire I will get me a new Sprinter and do a run here and there for fun. The sprinter that I linked upthread is one of the Amazon specd sprinters and somehow Mercedes of Nashville had one for sale. It was either pulled or...

What can I say? I have seen the light. Why deal with the stress of DOT, hours of service, high repair bills, etc.? I decided to go back to the van side of things. I found a new 2019 Sprinter in my neck of the woods, and will start vanning soon. I think this will do. Thoughts...

For the last week and a half I have been remodeling the kitchen, a project that the wife asked me to do for about 9 months now. Three days ago I started up the truck to move it out of the way and I heard some intermittent noises coming out from the front of the engine. I had to put the kitchen...

Back in the good old days when I was driving my Sprinter (it was either 2005 or 2006) I was rotating my tires in the parking lot at the TA in Knoxville, off of I40 exit 374. They have a different kind of a lot, not like other TAs out there. I was doing my work all by myself in a corner of the...

I remember reading about that incident. Don't remember if you were in the van at the time or not. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

It is not CISs fault. It is progressive that raised the rate. That happened to me also. I had CIS the first year I went to Load One. I used to pay it all at once for the whole year and got a good discount. Then renewal time came about and my rate increased. CIS tried to get me insurance through...

Greg, When I read the title I was thinking 'this can't be true.' Then I read the article. As always, excellent piece. Thanks. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Thirsty.

For me the problem was with the full site. Holding 'Shift' wile hitting reload fixed it for me.

Why not just go the speed limit whether on the interstate or in small towns? You will be fine for sure? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

That is correct. Why would you want to anyways? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I believe if you read between the lines you will find the reasons why. I don't want to put Guido down since I would have liked a truck like his. But I am running my business differently than he did. While it is nice to be the fastest truck on the road, that alone will not put money in your...

It will be when you get pulled over. Over 10k lbs gvwr or actual vehicle weight you are a commercial motor vehicle and they deal with you differently. They will write you a bunch of tickets and fines in the thousands of dollars both for you and your company. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I was young and stupid and I had a radar detector. It saved my butt a couple of times. Leos used to keep their radar on all the time so the radar detector worked great. But then they became smarter and kept it off until they saw you. When the radar detector barked at you, you were caught...

Btw, mine is 33k gvwr and I can legally haul 12k, but I am listed at 10k with Load One. Any load over 10k needs to be pushed all the way forward to avoid being overweight on the rear axle. That is impossible to do if the load has 10 unstackable pallets. 10k or under works for me, with the vast...
