He does look a bit like me, doesn't he. Similar vans also.

Dog or giraffe?

How big is the box? what is it made of? You should put this van on scale before buying it. If the GVWR is 8600 you will be severely limiting your legal payload. Do you plan on using this van for OTR expediting?

This is excellent advice! Specing an expedite truck is quite different than specing a tractor. You should drive for a fleet owner first, probably have to team, but this is a great way to learn the industry and give you ideas on how to spec a truck.

I can't see a straight flatbed or even a flatbed semi being very practical for general expediting. A curtain-side straight or semi would be more versatile and makes more sense, especially if you have a specific customer that requires a flat.

Are you sure it is an E-250? A cargo box on an E-250 sounds suspicious. What is the GVWR?

Thanks Ken! That's the scene that Cheri's FB friend posted.

Just last week a Canadian Border Service agent who was working in a booth at the Peace Arch crossing was shot. A man entered Canada driving a white Ford Econoline van at about 2 p.m. and shot her in the neck with a handgun. With his van surrounded, the man turned the gun on himself and was...

Cheri, could you get RT to post the pic here or e-mail it to you so you could post it. It's a great picture and certainly pertains to the topic of this thread, well, except that there are no straight trucks pictured.

Do you have a scan tool to check for fault codes? A PO300 is a misfire code. If the last digit is 1-8, that would be the problem cylinder.

Cheri posted a picture on FaceBook of 4 tractor/trailers laying in the median along I-90 in South Dakota the other day. Maybe she can post the pic in this thread. Cheri?

Wow! That's got to be pushing 12' in height.

That will happen if you spend most of your time driving backwards. This is a good thing because lower mileage vehicles generally have a higher resale value. Seriously folks, the refineries are doing something different and have been for a long time. Ethanol is being added to gasoline...

I only do the minor stuff, oil changes, filter replacement, grease etc. Everything else, if it can wait, I take it to my mechanic.

Or under the dash or some place else in the cab that is somewhat convenient and out of sight.

I'd ask about her (insert colloquialism for accordion here), but I'd probably get banned. Is the word "insert" considered offensive and vulgar when used in the context of musical instruments such as the accordion? Naw, "insert" is offensive no matter what context it is used in and should be...

I have had them fall off in my hand. The set screw is worthless or the plastic around the valve shaft cracks. A claw hammer, which was probably used to break the window to gain entry or a large screwdriver will easily pop the plastic brake knob off the shaft. In fact the lock will provide...

I could post a link to Youtube showing a clip from one of Cheri's favorite movies where a man kidnaps himself at gunpoint. But, posting the link would probably get me banned from E.O.

Looking good! Where's Moose's head?
