Good article, Greg. Thanks.

Hope you didn't go with Andy. Lol. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I don't do Facebook. I have better things to waste my time on than Facebook.

A couple of weeks ago I was waiting to load and I saw a similar sleeper on a transit cab/chassis. Don't know if it is the same company. Notice 'GVR 10000' on the door. Lol.

I bought a 2015 Sprinter passenger van as the family hauler. That 4 cyl engine coupled with the 7 speed transmission is sweeeet. If you want a race car in a van body this ain't it. But it pulls nicely and I averaged 26.1 mpg in the 6000 miles I owned it. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Last week I did a load from GA to KS. One pallet. They shipped it a week prior LTL but got stuck in Chattanooga. They needed it the next day so they called us. And it was delivered on time. So sure, you can ship stuff way cheaper than what we charge, but it might not get there in time. Sent...

Sooo, before I delivered the second one I got preplanned for another one. Done with that now and at home for some much needed rest. This begins to feel too much like work lately. Don't know if it is good or bad. Probably good after the slower July I had.

So far so good. Got one, then half hour later got preplanned for another one. Will be busy till Wednesday. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I like my M2. Got it cheap to test the waters with it and I am at almost 700k miles now. It won't win any races but it gets the freight where it needs to be on time. I've got the Eaton 6 speed manual so don't know anything about the Allison. Gets 12+ mpg. I don't like that it revs up a little...

Wow, look at that smile! It brightens your whole day, Jim, doesn't it?

That is why the Sprinter market it saturated and the others are not. Everybody thinks exactly like you. If I were you I would definitely get the CDL and go from there. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

What do you guys think of running steer tires all around? I heard it improves the fuel mileage, but how about traction? Also, since the thread depth is less than on drive tires they probably don't last as long. Just curious. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Do we still get points for 'Accurate and timely logs?' Last I got it was for May.

Good. I mentioned it because you would be surprised to know how many people get blinded by $$$ and don't read the contract carefully. Some don't even sign a contract at all. Then after working for a while they get all out of shape. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Jerry, This is one of the things you need to talk with your fleet owner about. It should be clearly written in the contract. You read the contract, didn't you? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Wow, 37 years. Congratulations to all of you. Wish you many more. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary last month. It would be interesting to me to hear how you husbands managed to hold your marriages together for all those years. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I tried to drive my old Sprinter the other day to take some trash to the dump. Started up just as good as always, but when I left, the brake pedal didn't feel right, so I turned around to investigate. By the time I got back home the Brake light came on the dash. Parked it, looked under the hood...

Way to go Griz.

Doofoses recommended and installed passenger tires and you need light truck tires. Light truck tires (same as 10 ply, or range E) are easy to spot. They will have the maximum cold pressure printed on the side as 80 psi. Passenger tires are only 44, or 35, some 50. CHANGE THEM ASAP. Sent from...

For me in a basic two axle 33k truck this year has been better both as the number of loads and the base rate. The last few months I have had more pre-planed loads, and also we got quite a few loads that we changed the pick up or delivery terms and the customer accepted. Some customers wanted...
