    Nope. Slowest quarter ever for deliveries. Best in US economy since 2015. Still confused.

    Is that why I had 4 deliveries in April? Robots?

    Cargo Van Clean Van

    Up until this van, I didn't bother washing. Something about what they paid, and what I thought deserved a good image. I wash it now; best product I've found is called "Crud Cutter" brings out the beautiful white shine. Warning: I painted the entire van with Rustoleum, not sure if I'd want to...

    Tariffs. As the place of manufacture, I think they build the price of shipping worldwide into the cost. It really isn't free shipping. But when the USA is just reselling what they bought from the same place, then adding tariffs, it's free shipping to me Edit: the usa isn't to blame (just saw...

    Interesting, but highlights the lack of a decent agreement between the two countries. I've been ordering from USA when necessary all my life, and until just this year, it's always been reasonable. Both shipments allowed until May 30 for delivery. USA over $30, Latvia $5. Of course if it went...

    Dude. Heard of mail? If I can get a package from Latvia for $5, what's the $30 for? Seems like somebody thinks they send a different truck for each package USA doesn't want my money, that's ok. Rest of the world does Edit: tariffs. Good for countries to build their own local business I...

    any box truck o/o running under there own operating authority? Anyone running under their own dot numbers

    What you describe is: straight truck. They come already done. You want 40' length to be legal in all states. 12mpg would be a lightly loaded 5 ton limping along somewhere under the speed limit. It's worth being an employee in one to figure things out. Unless you have 6 months expenses and a...
