    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    Wow, such a patch work. They should be ashamed of themselves for coming up with such a thing. Is the giubo cracking again? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    So you're looking to buy a truck...

    The problem is that it is hard to find a mechanic like you. Many years ago I went to a dealership for some reason and a guy brought a car in for a prepurchase inspection. He put the car up on the lift, had a form in his hand and he was just checking off stuff on the form without checking...

    Big Truck What to look for in a used straight Truck for solo or?

    Drive for an owner for 6 months at least and see if it is something you would like to do. Some people cannot adapt to the expediter life style. Then if you decide to stay, you can buy a truck and continue. While running someone elses truck, run it like it is your own, keep track of the expenses...

    Congratulation! So, how did she take the test? Rented truck? I missed it if you mentioned it before.

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    I believe the 'dream on' part was about the rate he wants to run at. It ain't happening, unfortunately. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    March banter and locations

    Load 1 booth has been busy all the time I passed by it. I actually was only able to talk to John a few minutes towards the end of the day on Thursday. I liked the Load 1 VIP area. After walking for a few hours those couches felt sooooo good. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    There are many companies out there that will lease on a 2004 straight that passes a DOT inspection. Just call them and ask. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    March 2017 this and that.

    OOS and heading to Louisville. I am taking my dad to the truck show. He will surely like it. And I will get to spend a lot of time with him like in the good old days. [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Switch from flat rate to percentage pay

    I have been doing this for a while, both percentage and flat rate. I made the most money with the percentage companies. I am right now with one of the few companies that pays percentage and 100% fuel surcharge. Yeah, that is another pet peeve of mine, since the company doesn't use any fuel, why...

    Opinions on driver cams and what companies require them

    Pointing forward? I would have no problem with that. As a matter of fact, I have one. Very helpful. My dad got in an accident a few years back because someone ran the red light and pulled in front of him. The guy said that my dad ran the red light and the cop sided with him. Totaled his truck...

    How wrong I can be at times. It amazes me still. Last week I was in FL in 70s and 80s during the day and 60s at night so I thought I was done with winter. Well, yesterday I came up to Ohio. Brrrrrr. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    I hardly ever use 19 any more. I used to, but I am number 1 out of 1 trucks almost everywhere I go, except Taylor, of course where I am 14 out of 17 or something like that, and they still manage to call me by the end of the day. Oh, and I never call for the info either. I reckon they have better...

    Of course not, but you need to make sure that the company you want to put it with is ok with a truck that old. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
