If it's .44 to each driver, yes. When the ad says "44 CPM split", I wonder if that means 22 cents to each driver. At 50 MPH, that's $11/hour. Not a big pot of cash, IMHO...

See my avatar; I'm not ashamed to drive a yellow truck :) And yes, it was one of Roger's Road Warriors before I bought it. The only part of a cube I'd paint would be the box, because the paint is faded and the shadow from the logos is pretty obvious. The cab usually looks pretty good, if you...

If I could pull the trigger on a new van today, I'd go for one like Hazmat's, or if my ship came in I'd get Westmicher to hook me up :) My current slop bucket is only 4 years old, so I'm in no rush to get out of it as of yet. However, the next one WILL be either a Transit or ProMaster, if I...

Amblyopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amblyopia can only be reversed if treated before age 5; I was diagnosed at seven. Oops. My right eye corrects only to 20/80; my left corrects to 20/20. My license is marked for corrective lenses (natch) and for "mirrors on both sides of a vehicle"...

Let us hope that Blizzard has his BP under control. He has proven himself intelligent in these forums, so if his IQ really < his diastolic BP, he is in trouble!

Funny thing is, Mr. and Mrs. Average American would be stunned to know that you were even able to get a van to 650K miles! Especially with the original powertrain. Of course, they'd also wonder why you don't just buy a new one, nevermind that the one you have seems to be working like a charm for...

That's because the emissions standards for NOx aren't as strict in Europe as they are here* (0.05 grams/mile for us vs. 0.29 g/mi over there). Also, they have higher cetane numbers over there (49 to 51, vs. 40 here) and they limit biodiesel to B7 vs. B10 or even B20 here. *Their HC and CO...

OK, so I'm finally gonna hit the road soon, on a part-time basis to start while I wean myself off my NYC gig. Don't ask for whom yet, 'cos it's not cast in stone. Which leads to my question: What kind of due diligence should an owner/operator, especially a n00b, do when choosing a company to...

As a n00b, I hafta ask: would it be worth even CONSIDERING signing with them now, after the F2F deal? That is, going forward, will Bill be able to keep them in shape, or is more pain forthcoming?

Best ask your carrier(s) first, IMHO...

Well, a smilie is round, and appears at the end of a sentence, so....

The Rolls-Royce Expeditor Edition is designed to transport an envelope in exquisite comfort, nestled in a Connolly Leather briefcase. The operator can sleep under the LED stars embedded in the Wilton wool headliner. Its companion, the Bugatti Veyron Expeditor Edition, is designed to transport a...

Apropos of nothing at all: Does anyone in here speak Hebrew as well as Moose does? Not me :p

That's probably a given, just like the "few" who service Sprinters, compared to the larger numbers of Dodge/FLT/Mercedes dealers who service only their core vehicles....

Weird but funny. I liked it :)

Found some numbers here: http://www.fiat.com.au/images/docs/fiat-commerical-specifications.pdf Highlights, converted to American coin: Fuel tank: 90L/23.7 gal Wheelbase: 4035mm/158.9" Roof Height: 2524mm/99.4" Overall Length: 6363mm/250.5" Width: 2050mm/80.7" (Time for clearance...

LEA has another good reason to treat you well: Since you conduct yourself in a professional manner, your actions reflect well on them. Imagine if they didn't? You could let yourself go, let the truck stay dirty, talk trash about them, etc. I know you'd never do that, but if you did you would...

Just watched the intro on their live stream. Looks tasty, but awaiting numbers (payload, price, etc). Wonder how GM plans to compete with modern vans like this and the upcoming Transit, and also what effect it'll have on the Sprinter...

That says a lot about Landstar as well as you, Phil. I've been in the same position as you at least once, that of changing industries and having to inform the "old boss" of your plans; they usually act like jilted spouses. Just for fun, since I'm sure you remember this song, I submit a line from...

Must be his having quit smoking. After all, he can breathe easier and he's almost $700 ahead just in 11 weeks. Good for you Ken!! :D
