I believed in extended warranties until I sold cars for one of the big 3. Buying a sprinter type vehicle for the mileage you guys run, on the thin margins, I'd probably buy a warranty too. But then I doubt that I would ever have attempted to operate on those thin margins. Example: the 2001...

40 years in class 8's. And a 350 dually /53 wedge.

A good comparison is on the docks. How much freight moves by propane power vs how much is moved by electric power.

Sounds like you lucked onto a good dealer.

So you have to hope for a $900 plus breakdown in the next 5x,xxx miles to come out on top of the $2000 warranty cost ? And that's minus any finance charges on the $2000.

A system devised by expediting companies. Definition can vary from company to company. Basically B- Van or Sprinter C small straight- typically 6 pallets /5000 lbs D larger straight- can vary but 10 pallets/12-15,000 lbs minimum E - semi tractor Truck classes, an industry standard is class 4...

Whataburger. Ate there once. Thought it was fantastic. Then I accidentally found their stats. Got to be one of the highest sodium content food chains around. Never been back.

I guess I should have been an umpire. I calls em like I sees em.

Don't Worry. Be Happy Keep giving good service and your rates will drop at a slower pace than others.

Few people would make that trip for 5 hrs pay. When HR said look at the income versus miles traveled I guess all you could think was "It meets my minimum. "

You DO NOT need to pull in. With green light. Unless hazmat. Then, it varies by state. When I was driving I think there was about 5 states where ALL HM had to pull in. 3 where only placcarded HM had to pull in. I had a list on my sun visor that I reviewed with co-driver whenever we loaded HM...

I've seen two very low mileage ones for sale. Also heard rumors of door problems and roofs cracking. Just looking at the concept I didn't see how they would withstand very many hard trips into a dock. Anyone have any experience good or bad ? Are the upsides worth the risks ? Is the...

As I think about my post I wonder if I need to apologize. It added nothing to the value of the discussion and sounds like an attack on Steve. I've lost money in business to people who have looked for loopholes and gamed the system. And to those who didn't honor a courts decision. So these...

mccll01 My post was worded poorly. I edited it.

Yes, pay the original debt. What did they do to get stiffed ? Except in cases of a dispute, fraud etc. Which should be settled in court. And the courts findings should be respected.

We pay cash for our materials. No debt. Recently read in a Dave Ramsey discussion that he ( edit, he being Steve )thinks it's okay to stiff creditors. ( If I read it right.) I have NO RESPECT for people who stiff people, or play the system, then act like they're doing well because they want you...

Worried about him being still alive? How about Boatcat ? Hanging out in a closed Walmart in Oakland. Then to Cleveland. Life at it's finest. Not.

Do you know what time it is ?

Whatever you guys are into.

Sad face ? Think back 20 years ago. You wake up early. Nothing to do. Do whatever you would have done then. After you've peed.
