    Independent contracting with $1 million insurance

    Ah, the good old days when HAZMAT paid serious money. Nowadays it pays diddly squat. I dropped my endorsement 3 years ago .Haven't regretted it once.

    Twic car can be used as hazmatt

    If by "car" you mean "card," the answer is no. The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of maritime facilities and vessels. It is also sometimes used at other facilities such as...

    CROSS DOCK USAGE

    Others can pay an LTL terminal to do the crossdock. Many warehouses offer crossdocking services ,as well. A few tow truck companies have forklifts and will do a transfer from one van to another. Sometimes it's as easy as doing a Google search for "crossdock facility near me" to get an idea of...

    Good dispatchers

    Even commercial insurance might not cover expediting. Regular insurance for-sure won't. As for dispatchers being insurance experts, I have my doubts.

    Please i need advice fast.

    First, I'd have taken the load to North Dakota. Or simply turned it down and waited for a load going in a better direction. Second, since the only thing you can count on in expediting is the unexpected, if you need to get home to load the van up then it's either wait on a load heading south, or...

    Cargo Van Discontinued no longer made tires for the sprinter 2500

    I think you should go to 16-inch wheels like everybody else. Easy to find tires for that. :D

    /// / No thermostst for a year....How bad is that on engine ? ////

    I agree. You can get away with no thermostat for a while, a few days, even a week or two. But a year? I'll leave the experienced comments to Greasyshirt, but I'd think even with an engine that was overhauled a year prior, that's a really lot of engine wear. I'd want an insanely good deal on...

    Sprinter/Transit/Promaster window insulation set

    Yeah. If you look closely (zoom in) at the "quilted" picture above, you can see the metal grommets where the suction cups go. There's like a little nubby nubbin thing that you push through the grommet hole to secure the suction cup to the insulation. Reverse the process to remove the cups. You...

    The Trump Card...

    The New York judge who threw out the case previously had it right. The Constitution makes it crystal clear that the Emoluments Clause is strictly the purview of Congress. It's up to the Congress, not the Judicial Branch, to provide consent, or not, with regard to the Emoluments Clause. Congress...

    The Trump Card...

    Most of the polls are showing that Trump is rising in popularity, well into the 40 percent range, from the middling 30s. despite the OmniBS bill he signed last week. The popularity seems to coincide with Stormy Daniels and the Playboy Bunny (sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon, but I don't...

    Sprinter/Transit/Promaster window insulation set

    The window wrap is also good. Certainly better to not let the heat into the van through the windshield in the first place. I went with the NASA option because... NASA. And the fact that if I had the window wrap, every load I'd get would require me to exit the van in a hurricane in order to...

    Sprinter/Transit/Promaster window insulation set

    I have the same thing. It's great. It's the same exact layered material that insulates the Mars Rovers, many satellites, portions of the Space Station and other things NASA. I also ordered an uncut sheet of it and cut a piece to insulate the roof slope above the headliner to eliminate...

    March of Load One

    I talked with Wayne He's out of them, but will have some in on Wednesday. I'll get one of those. Whatever it is. Amazon has an OEM one for something like $170, and a good aftermarket one for $117.

    March of Load One

    Espar blower motor died on Friday. At 4000 hours, which is a little on the too-soon side. Average is about 5000-6000 hours. But I have had them last 8000 hours. 38,987 hours on this unit. On my way to Columbus when it died. No one to look at it until Monday. No big deal, the van has heat. Not...

    The Fake News Depot

    On Fox News Sunday, in a lead-in to the story about the Pence bunny rabbit and the bunny book, Chris Wallace said that this is the first time in 150 years that there wasn't a pet in the White House. Helllll-ooooo?!? Kellyanne Conway! I think Trump should get large rat for a White House pet...

    They're confusing "firearms" and "radar detectors." It's an easy mistake. :D
