Yeah I'll stay away from it then. Now I gotta debate putting a generator mount on the front or back. Appreciate it guys. Sorry to hijack your thread OP.

Very good info thanks. I'll definately use those wind whistle things. It's debatable if they work or not but there has been quite a number of times deer were on the edge of the road and just stood there when I had them. Not 100% but I think makes a difference. Anyway, how do you feel about...

So a unibody frame can't take the hit of a deer? Treadmill just told me to read this post when I was asking about putting a deer gaurd on a promaster.

How so? The way it was explained to me those quarter panels and similar parts are expensive to replace and when you have a $1000 deductible it's better to just replace yourself so you don't report an accident. So a deer gaurd bolted to the much stronger main frame would be able to take the hit...

Does anyone know of a deer gaurd that also doubles as a hitch so I could mount a generator to the front? If not are there multiple spots on the frame where I could attach a deer gaurd and hitch separately? Or do I have to choose one or the other? I can always get a swing mount for the back...

If you're in a van, stay away from panther. STs and TTs can do good.

25 gallons now?! When did they change it from 14? It's been almost a year since I've been out a van.

Try to get multiple misdemeanor tickets in the state of NY. That way your fines can "stack" and you'll only have to go pay once for multiple tickets.

Depends on what your fitness goal is.

I would look for someone with more recent experience in my opinion. But it could work out. It depends on the type of lease. If it's a weekly payment and you can cancel at anytime then it's not so much of a commitment. But if it's a year or 6 month lease I would stay away. Fact is you never...

I do respect you trying to build a fleet as i would like to do the same thing but I think you are jumping the gun a little with your planning. Look at all the problems you have had so far. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Idk about what the Amazon rates or whatever for sprinter vans are...

I really hope not. Sounds like he's negative $5000 at least at this point. Like a month in. With no truck down payment. With no insurance payment. Jesus.

Dude.....this is the most entertaining thread I think I've ever read on here. Andy, how's your working capital and credit? Why dont you just buy a sprinter van, get a driver, get on with a dispatch that knows what they are doing and can tell you exactly what you'll need to do, and build up...

Question for those of you PF members.....how many how you ran into that were not 24 7 or did not accept the black card? My co drivers friend said he ran into a few that didn't accept it. I'm running midnight to noon so having at least 90% be accessible with the black card and overnight is a must.

Look into the WIA (workforce initiative and opportunity act). It varies from state to state. Mine was through the unemployment agency. Basically it's financial aid for things that aren't college accredited courses, truck driving, welding, etc. It should pay for your schooling in full, it covered...

There's a difference between self driving trucks and driverless trucks. The latter, in my opinion, is very far away.

Is it Shawn you're planning to work for? This was my entry company to expediting. Great company. These freezes on vans are so they can actually take care of the van drivers, and not play a numbers game of put as many vans on the road as possible and if we can't get you freight then we don't give...

I wanna sign up but I'm just getting used to teaming with someone. Doesn't help they have no interest in either the gym or healthy eating. Been trying to workout in the truck but i gotta do it quietly which sucks but they gotta sleep. I've kept myself on a pretty good diet. 2 pb sandwiches on...

are all the PFs like that? cause they are advertised as private shower stalls. I mean like they are set up like bathroom stalls and not a private room.
