Inspired by a few ridiculous posts on equipment...to new operators... Research all you can and take things you hear with a grain of salt. Learn all you can about the vehicle you own/insurance and legal requirements before you buy, and get in the habit of performing an inspection before each...

To anybody new viewing threads, like tires, brakes, front-end, etc. If you are new to the business, you may get the wrong idea from some of the things I've posted. If you are not a mechanic, in the interest of safety, go with 2 or 3 opinions at different shops to help make a determination. My...

Buy a cheap straight truck and park it when it gets cold (or head south) I can't imagine you earning anywhere close to good rates no matter how much stuff you cram in there BTW whatever you have for insurance is null and void. Read your policy on commercial, you're not covered - people on here...

Ever get booked and want to cancel the load for another at double money? No room for honor in business...at least I look loyal (and stupid)

Unloaded and bored, but backhaul in place... Nebraska - all trucks over 1 ton stop at weigh stations? Huh? South Dakota... OVM do you scale? Or is GVW sprinter + freight over 8000? Same with Montana Texas - ALL commercial vehicles stop when directed by the sign...how do I know that sign's...

It I member right 3A ac, x10 thru inverter= starter battery flat as a pancake after 10 hours Oh time for a coffee thought that was at me :D

Price of diesel in Canada That's 3.07 US gallon with exchange...right at the border no less, this is "cheap" Think I'll wait 25 miles and fill up for 1.99 Edit : was 1.95 not bad for NY

Woo-hoo same run that I missed yesterday and wife is NOT pokemoning:D

I used to enjoy passing the DRW vans pulled over in Ohio...driver getting an expensive education It's common sense, if it was legal everybody would have one, no point to our vans except under 10k

Brings back "fond" memories of fitting 5 skids into my Ram Van

Sounds better than mine...once your deep cycles are in, there's many ways to hook em up but I always include the ability to have them all connected for cranking (never had a winter no start, -44 even) The delay in firing is probably it calling the EPA for permission to idle:D

If there was none in the cab, you're not trying hard enough;)

Had a 500 dollar run 4 hours ago, but I had to say no because wife was out pokemoning. I see a 3 week trip in my future. As it is I have to bring rice cooker and canned chili till the next pay. It was 1000 miles, so I can congratulate myself on not running for a cheap customer, too bad I can't...

Agh, that's a lot of work. Back to the board over the front seats idea:D My espar heating the cab would probably be best experienced from the cab

Traacker, rolling the interior with foil bubble wrap gives a noticeable difference and is QUICK...getting out on the road making money should be priority, comfort can come later... Keep the ideas coming everybody, my next time out I'd like to camp at the home Depot and winterize...im officially...

If I insulate, I was going to finish the walls in that thin stuff they use in gas station bathrooms and walk in fridges, comes shiny and they have thin strips to cover the seams...its either textured or smooth and very tough, like tile board without the tiles, what's it called? Edit: think I...

Luan must be an American thing, sounds like a Dennys waitress Found it, at 1 store, like 1" MDF for speakers, hard to find north of the border...learned something new...its like what they make those $20 interior doors out of

Puts mine to shame, although if mine was that cozy I'd be tempted to ignore the phone and keep sleeping

Hope you got it running ;) it took a tow truck plus two booster packs to start me after I killed both batteries with my laptop, was a diesel 10 years ago now. My first "breakdown":D

If I get smashed, I'm not paying the local rate of 10,000 for an 05 I'd try for a 4 cyl...i have a thread on mine somewhere, paid 2900 US for mine with 180000 miles on it (in truck talk)... I'll now defer to the people that actually own newer Sprinters to answer questions
