The Lanstar version I had seen had a built in stand up sleeper Davekc

Since you have a Mercedes I would go to a Sterling or Western Star dealer. Freightliner could do one but I have heard of mixed results with regards to service. My personal experience with Freightliner is less than stellar. The other consideration is a Detroit Deisel location. Mercedes and...

Sounds like the breaker needs replaced or reset. A faulty ground wire would be suspect as well if the breaker checks out ok. Depending on how it was installed, there will be a breaker for the generator portion of your unit. It will not be the breaker at the main terminal (battery) because you...

These were first introduced through the Dave Nemo radio show. Apparently a problem developed between the two owners and they parted company. Needless to say, there was problems with their units and they couldn't be resolved. I think Dave did all that he could to rectify the problem with other...

Steel and aluminum floors are that way, but you can't haul hazmat with these floors unless the load is on pallets. 55 gallon drums ect are in many instances, not on pallets. Davekc

RE: Possible info on Co. named All-Types out of Ft It seems like every 5 or 6 years N.A.V.L has some type of legal trouble. This goes well back into the 80's when they were doing a lease purchase plan which entailed selling trucks at a high price, and then cutting their freight off. They would...

Hi, All... My first post here...I'm looking at a third profession as an expedite driver, and just have a few questions right now to help formulate a business plan...please bear with me...and if you have anything to add, please feel free... Across the board, what kind of average fuel consumption...

Price on the barrel has dropped alittle this week but it will be interesting to see if it lasts. No one can make up their minds. One news show says it will stay the same and the next says it will rise. Davekc

Seems more like a personal decision. It is a tough call as there is pros and cons to each depending on what your personal situation is with regards to finances and desires. Davekc

Did they redesign the chassis or are they the same ones? Certainly improving the fuel milage Davekc

8,000 miles?????? Certainly didn't take them long to crash. The information I had was the team ran it for 5 weeks. 8,000 miles over 5 weeks. No wonder they turned it in. What a complete waste of time and resources. Davekc

If just starting as mentioned, I would go to a used vehicle. The trucks you reference are priced way too high if that is what you are going to pay. If going new, I would really negotiate these prices down. Davekc owner 20 years
