    How does that compare to the 5 cylinder Sprinter? The Ecoboost 6 cylinder puts out 365 H.P. and 420 lbs.-ft. of torque.

    Feds Want 'Black Boxes' in New Cars. . .

    I'm pretty sure it was black ice. 9 out of 10 single vehicle crashes are caused by black ice according to the American Dental Association. Black ice, no doubt about it.

    Is possible to heat a CV with an electric heater?

    Hey Randy! We were at the Hook in South Beloit and I was headed to Florida. Being that it was the first time we met, I spared you the lecture.

    Climate Change Takes a Hit

    Yes the Great Lakes are connected to the Atlantic Ocean but the ocean level would have to rise quite high to back wash into the Great Lakes. Lake Superior, being the highest at about 600' and Lake Ontario Van Man being the lowest at about 245' above sea level. There is of course the St...

    Looking for carrier ideas

    I was going to suggest air freight hotshot work, but your location puts you a ways out from a major airport. Does ProEx Logistics lease on cargo vans?

    Is possible to heat a CV with an electric heater?

    Unless of course your breakdown is fuel related as in no fuel or waxing. I've got nothing against Espars but if I did own one, I would still carry the the regular Buddy Heater and 2 one pounders for emergency back up heat. I've had a lot of experience dealing with extreme cold. If you have...

    Sprinter vs. Cargo Van

    I have put almost 1 million miles on two Chevy gassers. Never had an ignition problem due to damp weather. If you have had a problem starting in damp weather, replace your ignition wires with a quality set. How often (mileage) do you replace your wires?

    Another Milestone: Bob and Linda

    Last paragraph of a total of 5 and you don't want to make this thread about you? Okay, I'll go along with that. Congratulations Linda and Bob. I guess I'll have to pick up a copy of Overdrive. Will you autograph it for me? In the early days of Overdrive Linda would be pictured stretched...

    Interesting article on expedite trucking.

    Yeah but at 644,000 miles will I see a significant R.O.I. if I upgrade my transmission to mode-shift capabilities?

    Interesting article on expedite trucking.

    Interesting but also somewhat disheartening for our little niche of the market. The more expedite choices traditional carriers offer the shipper, the lower the rates for us expedite specific carriers. Can someone translate these paragraphs I lifted from the article? Mostly the paragraph in...

    Don't speed to disaster

    A very powerful video and an excellent reminder of what can happen during just a split second of inattention while driving.

    The tetanus booster has changed in the past 10 or 15 years so you could have a reaction even if you never did from the old formula.
