Yeah, 219 dead would certainly be a more acceptable number.

I never heard of Arkansas Best Corporation referred to as ABC and didn't make the connection. I wonder how WalMart feels about playing second fiddle to ABC?

I hope you are filing a 1040-ES Payment Voucher quarterly. If you are, then you are over paying to get refunded $7500 of your own money. You may want to make some adjustments. If you are filing a joint return, you still need to make adjustments. Remember; a refund is just as the name...

If I went into ALL AROUND PIZZA sportin' my piece, I'd expect a 100% discount and the contents of the cash drawer.

Can you hear me now? How about now? How's my modulation?

My appologies to Bruno. Both Panther and ABF are subidiaries of Arkansa Best Corp.

The parent company is ABF!

True! My 6.0 only has 20 hp. more but it puts out 360 lbs-ft of torque compared to 258 lbs-ft of torque for the Promaster. That's a significant difference, but one I could probably live with. On paper, for me, the Dodge wins out over the Ford. The long wheelbase and ladder frame are huge...

Greetings Jane and John Wannabee! Are you by chance related to Vernon and Wilma Wannabe of Squaw Lake, Minnesota? If you are truly serious about becoming expediters, a beautiful custom Volvo C unit refer will be on the market in a few months. Keep checking the E.O. want ads for specs and price.

Thanks Mudder! I'm not sure how much longer I will be running this van. I would like to get into to something I can standup in. I'm intrigued by the upcoming Ford and Dodge vans. The wheelbase on the Ford T-350 is disappointing. When I bought my first van, a new 1998 Chevrolet, I chose the...

What's to debate? Improved fuel mileage and a rested right leg, what's to debate? Of course there is a proper time, place and road conditions for the use of cruise control. I have never hauled temperature sensitive freight in a cargo van, at least not freight where the BOL indicated that the...

You Sprinter volks talk funny.

Mohawk, try talking the Sprinter owner into installing a standard 14 x 14 roof vent or letting you do it and pay for it. If the owner springs for it, then you can replace it with a Fantastic Fan Fantastic Vent RV Vent Fan  Adohen Supply. When you get your own van, remove the Fantastic Fan...

A few years ago bernard40 was looking for a co-driver. If you're a skinny chick get in touch with Bernie. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/layover-lounge/25093-looking-find-lasting-relationship-slim-l.html

The following is an update from this thread: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/46492-maintenance-costs-2004-cargo-van.html Listed below are the costs for maintaining a 2004 Chevrolet 3500, long wheelbase 6.0 V-8 slop bucket, for the first 650,000 miles as it came from the...

I heard from a Panther straight truck driver that Andy teamed up with Ed Wadel and together they bought a Sprinter.

Ooops, almost forgot: BAN THE VAN!

I fixed it for you by changing OTR to TL. As expediters we are "over the road" drivers, even those skanky vanners.

I like it, especially the 159" wheelbase and the ladder frame! The 3.6 gasser might be a bit wimpy in the mountains pushing the gross though. Hopefully the 12,500 gvwr is for the drw model and the srw comes in at just under 10,000.

Or under a contract with an expedite carrier.
