    Mysterious Louisiana Sinkhole Raises Concerns of Explosions and Radiation

    The strange thing is, in the title of the article and at the end of the first paragraph, they mention "radiation". They explain the possibility of explosion, (the gas line), but there is no explanation of the "radiation" issue.

    I-70EB @ 98mm (Ohio) closed

    Just a heads up.... I70EB @ the 99mm in Columbus, OH will be closed for an extended period of time due to a truck fire/hazmat incident. If you need to pass through Columbus going east, your best bet would be to take I670EB to I270SB and back to I70, or, take I270 around the south side of...

    What to look for...

    After hear what everyone on here had to say, and talking with a couple of Sprinter owners I know, I may consider looking at one with 100,000 or less in miles. The cost of replacement parts seems to be another issue all to itself.

    What to look for...

    Thanks for all of the information, everyone. I'm really looking at a 2012 Cargo Max, but this Sprinter may be an alternative choice if I can't swing the financing. Hopefully I'll know more tomorrow afternoon.

    What to look for...

    I'm looking into purchasing a 2008 Sprinter, so I can get back on the road. I've done a few searches on here, and can't seem to find the information I need help me make the right decision. I'm interested in knowing what I should look for when I go to check out this truck. As I said, it's a...

    just wanted to intro myself

    I remember putting 3100# in my Chevy 3500 extended CV. I was glad I only had to go 28 miles with that load. The back end swayed back and forth the entire way.

    just wanted to intro myself

    Before you go to an orientation, you'll need to have your van weighed. That weight should represent the vehicle weight with the driver, a full tank of fuel and anything you plan on bringing along, such as you fridge, etc... That weight will be your "base" weight. Take the GVW - the base weight...

    FedEx Fail...(video link)

    Here's how the conversation went... Terminal Manager: "Cletus, this box needs to go on your truck" Cletus: "...but boss, I ain't got no more room for this big box." Terminal Manager: "I don't care if you have to push it, it's gotta go with you!!!" Cletus: [whistling as he walks away]...

    Coming back....

    Fleet owner... in a cargo van? You must be kidding. Most fleet owners want to split 60/40. Next time your sitting around waiting for a load, figure out how much money a driver, in a cargo van make running for a fleet owner. When I was running with Panther several years ago, I took 20 random...
