    vans, passenger airbag question

    I could've sworn it was more like, "do it right the first time and somehow it'll still not be good enough."

    How many expedite trucks/cargo vans have you owned?

    I've heard a lot of talk that class 7 Cornbinders are a major POS and I didn't want to spend my money finding out if it's true or not. I'm pleased with my M2 106.

    Driver Responsibilities

    Driver responsibilities can be covered with 2 words, common sense. I'm sure there are thousands of stories out there that would simply come back to those 2 words. The dolt that just used 2 load bars on a piece of machinery would be a good example of someone sadly lacking basic common sense.

    I wonder if it was one of his decendants that said, " I wonder if I'll trip if I lick this toad?"

    CSA 2010 Question

    Carriers don't randomly cancel the contracts of drivers that bring value to the company. If a carrier cleans house from time to time, that's a good thing. That is as long as you're doing a good enough job to not be swept into the dustpan. I don't see why it would hurt their recruiting efforts...

    Carrier Rating

    The only valid votes would be from drivers who've been with each of the carriers on your incomplete list long enough to truly have a handle on how each company operates. If someone that's only been with the Fed votes for the Fed, is that really a legit vote? How could it be?

    areocell vrs sprinter--comments please

    I had an interesting conversation with a guy a few years back. I tried to explain to him that "1 ton" was just a nick name. To him, it was set in stone that his van was a 1 ton. I suggested he use the Cat scale at the TS we were at as I was certain that he could haul a minimum of 500# pounds...

    The traitor driver

    I should have quoted, I was speaking just of the "vans are a CMV" issue. When I was running my van I thought it was great when I got with a company that didn't require signs.

    Tire advice for vans

    I ran the Good Year Wranglers that came with my E350 from the factory. I got from 160k to 200k out of them. I rotated every 40 or 50k. It has the Powerstroke and I had no problem with it staying aligned. I think maybe 3 alignments total. It's a '99, currently about 975k miles.

    I heard he turned 68 the other day. Does that ever make me feel old! Oh, wait... You probably mean the Apostle, not the Beatle.

    "Touchdown Jesus" Burns....

    I had no idea that was taking place in this day and age. But, given the radical behavior that can take place in that part of the world, I shouldn't be shocked. I don't think we have to worry about that here.
