3500 = dually = the regulation you want to avoid (in a sprinter) as well as too small between wheelwells A 3500 in a Promaster however is a single wheel under regulated weight... Do your research to make sure you end up where you want

Pay between $40-60 an hour and see if you still can't find drivers.

I always forget that everybody isn't comfortable tearing apart a transmission or engine :laughing: Carry on...

Could go both ways. I did the same thing, and my entire family now has a ban on not only new vehicles, but dealers Edit: sorry not even, over "near new" vehicle

Either way, its cheaper to find out on yours than on one with payments :)

I know the feeling. I was shocked when I found it as well. Does anyone know about the "new" vans? Or even if GMC were the same...I was a ford fan, since nothing ever broke I had time to research stuff like that :laughing:

When I have time I'd like to research if the newer style vans are the same...

Further to what this means: "150 frame 46720 pounds (yield strength what it would take to pull the frame apart) 250 frame 52800 350 frame 87040 that being said the only difference in size would be the thickness of the steel used for the frame" Yes I incorrectly stated body metal as frame (I'm...

Who knew taking twelve 5 gallon gas cans to the Indian reserve violated hazmat...

AM delivery done. Napped. Woke up with a feeling of purpose that the wife couldn't shake (I'm working more than I post here) Going to finish my hazmat cert, then audit my pays vs runs this year... Briefly checked local news. All the talk is about recession. Whatever, I choose not to...

Are you sure? In delving into the differences of my E350 back when I cared, the actual body metal was a different thickness. (It may have been a bodyshop repair manual I was looking at, but I sure was surprised to learn it.) Thicker metal used in construction, that you aren't bolting on Edit...

Probably should have put my 2 cents in...the extra 3500 lbs goes in the "loophole"...

Yeah, way sunnier looking than the Atlantic was (November 2018) So, dock height only and I left my dock high ramps at home :laughing: Getting waiting time and a liftgate 5 ton to load me...i must say, my carrier is really stepping up beats the hell out of a TONU

I hope that wasn't a trucking related statement or we'll have to send you back to the noobie forum :pokepoke: Nice 300 mile shorty ending near my house. Gosh it will be nice to get my first solid pay. 4000 past oil change, black death in one cylinder and broken right wiper. Eating noodles .

I have an idea to buy an off lease 1 year old van, approximately 20k miles, then sell after 1 year Its a 10k discount, and hopefully worth near what I paid after that year...never done it tho I don't know if I want the work of being on the other side anymore...where a van can't lose any more...

Oh I'm sure there's a gov test in there somewhere... you'd think

People must be enjoying st paddys day...no posts Just found out as a self employed contractor I can issue my own hazmat certificate and training (rather than have it tied to my employer) Suddenly it just got interesting enough to obtain

The simple solution is go where there aren't too many drivers. I can reposition my sprinter for $10 an hour in fuel...that's a lot of hwy miles...try that in a TT
