Wolfhouse, you mentioned: "If I could make $2500-3000/month, I would be ok with that." You could gross that amount but probably closer to $2500. If you have money in the bank or no large fixed expenses, like a mortgage or car payments, then this might be a good chance to try out van...

Panther's fsc for vans this week is .12/mile. Panther also pays all deadhead miles from layover point to shipper, currently .12/mile.

I'm not a fan of the rear overhang either, but I got used to it. Loading a single heavy pallet I have it pushed up to straddle the axle. More work unloading but that's where the tow strap comes into play. The short wheelbase and long rear overhang also contribute to some handling problems...

Talk to your travel agent. Maybe they can get you a load to Kentucky.

Does it help relieve carrier induced low back pain? I mean really low back pain.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I am sure that if your generator or any other source is putting out 220 volts you don't want to run 110 volt appliances without a proper step-down transformer. Also, running a 220 volt AC unit from a 110 volt generator ain't gonna work.

So was the Vega. So hot the aluminum block would melt. :)

You burned through 5 Pintos? .

HID and LED are completely different types of headlights.

His pardoning of Nixon was the only reason I voted for the Peanut Farmer. Hey, I was young and foolish and it was my first presidential election.

July was a 3 for me but I took time off. Had I stayed in service it would probably been a 4. This month started with an 1,135 mile load at my rate. Before delivering I got an airfreight load, again at my rate. Its only 193 miles and picks up at 04:00. Off to a decent start.
