You lost me with this one comrade. Can you explain? Whose attitudes, shoes and feet are you referring to? I'm confused.

An under 10,000 GVWR sticker will alleviate your red flag syndrome and be cool with the DOT. (Insert cheesy grin here)

Sure. It was a lame play on words and if I had to explain it to you it would be even lamer. More lame? More lamest? Lamerer? I voted for Trump. Do I think he's the best president of my lifetime; no! Could he be in another 6½ years; certainly possible. If you haven't fled the country by...

Pew stinks!

Only two presidents during my lifetime won the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize; Obama and Carter. Therefore Obama being a two term president had to be like the most bestest and Carter second most bestest.

If you are driving a company vehicle I guess you are at the company's discretion. What happened when you deadhead home from El Paso? Was the cost of fuel on you?

Ultimatums by one team member could prove disastrous in the long term confines of a truck. I would think discussion and arriving at a mutual agreement, an agreement that benefits the team would be the best course of action. I'm a team of one. Sometimes I disagree with myself but eventually I...

If the OEM door sticker states pressures of 50 lbs. front and 90 lbs. rear then the van came from the factory with load range E tires. If it was me, I'd return the tires and go to a different tire shop for the correct tires. Be prepared to pay more for load range E tires though.

No just Abby Normal.

Re-reading the OP the 80 psi for the rears points to a 2500 or 3500. Return the tires.

He's got a 2008 Chevrolet Express. No mention if it is a 1500, 2500 or 3500. Three different vehicles with 3 different GVWRs. The tire dude may have installed the proper tires for his van. Not enough info to lay the blame on the tire installer.

No secret to those of us that own a Transit with the 3.5 and do our own oil changes. https://www.fordtransitusaforum.com/ford-transit-service/19426-worst-oil-change-ever.html

You could still do the Expo alone, leaving your wife and 40 pound 3 year old behind. ;) You could meet other expediters, connect with recruiters from various carriers, check out equipment and gather good info to bring home to your wife.

Changing oil/filter in the Ford Transit with the 3.5 EcoBlaster is a major PIA and also very messy. No matter how careful one is when removing the oil filter, oil ends up on the turbo plumbing, crossmembers, floor and anything else within 10 feet. Today, oil change #29, I finally did it free...

Yeah, but they run a Mickey Mouse operation.;)

Maybe they have been watching re-runs of Movin' On on the Disney Channel.

Once they pay their dues by driving a straight truck for several years they can then move up to a cargo van.

Me also. I guess I have some form of claustrophobia. It's not so much the confined space, hey I'm a vanner. Rather it's the lack of air flow. I've had a few MRIs. The first was a disaster until they kicked the fan on high. Others with plenty of air flow have gone well, once I settle in...

I think it's a logical first choice, especially for a same household team with past careers. Straight truck, automatic transmission, power steering large sleeper etc.
