    The $40,000 toilet

    Terry & Rene, I like this idea & looked at the site. I couldn't find the price though. Like you, I also couldn't find the price on the heated wipers. Not sure which of the two would work best, but I'm thinking the heated fluid would work better year round because in summer I can see it doing...

    The $40,000 toilet

    Yes, I'm referring to the Sprinter. I just got back from my last run today. I am PEEVED right now. If I said what I really felt Lawrence would pull the plug on my post. Maybe even expel me as a member. The kinder/gentler version of what I'm thinking is I hope whoever designed this friggen...

    How does ComData work?

    Thanx guys for the input. It cleared some of my concerns up for sure. I've avoided that card like the plague for about a month now, but since my money's in that account I'd better get used to it or I'm going to end up leaving a huge ComData inheritance for someone. Be well, Danny

    How does ComData work?

    Hi, I'm curious to how ComData works. I had it with my old company & used it to buy gas & such until I saw the charges they stuck on ya. Yipes!!! I recall $2.60 charges for $20/gas & things of that nature. I had thought it worked like a debit card. I didn't realize I'd be getting charged...

    Say you were in charge of Ford, Chrysler, GM, Frei

    RE: Say you were in charge of Ford, Chrysler, GM, I'm liking my Sprinter less every day, but I think that's in part because of my seat being so uncomfortable. Gimme a comfy seat in there & I think I'd pretty much stick w/ a Sprinter but have the following upgrades. 1) Comfortable seat...

    Innitial thoughts on my new Sprinter

    I bought what's called a Complete Seat Cushion at Meijers for $30. The company that makes it is called Sure Comfort. This thing has a massage/heat unit in it, though the heat doesn't seem to work very well, but I don't so much care. The massage is awesome & definately helps. The downside, &...

    Are there any companies that have dedicated runs f

    RE: Are there any companies that have dedicated ru If you live in Michigan & are willing to go to Canada, Thompson has what ya might call a quasi-dedicated run. Pretty much every run you get will take you to the Toronto area. From there though, it's wide open on where you'll go in terms of...

    CTX

    Yes, I have dealt w/ em. I worked for em for about a month & didn't get paid. This was I'm guessing Sept or Oct of 94. I was pretty decent about things. I still hadn't been paid by November. I'd call & see if there was any update on things in regards to my pay. Of course there was always a...

    Innitial thoughts on my new Sprinter

    The rollers I got at Grainger. They cost about $800. I've had freight where they came in handy, like a big 48X120X40 crate that wasn't on a skid. Other times though, they're a pain in the rump. Securing things that aren't very tall (that don't come up to my etracks) can be a pain. I'd say...

    Secure your freight/Important read

    I've been in the process of moving/starting w/ a new company so this is my first chance to be on for awhile. This is an additional comment to my view on the Sprinter & also a reply to a few people who asked about the rollers. For starters, the rollers were $800 for 3 of em. They can be bought...

    Innitial thoughts on my new Sprinter

    I def. like the gas milage. I have a 2005 158wb Sprinter. The gas milage is coming in at just a touch under 23MPG. The van takes some getting used to, but that's to be expected for any vehicle. It's got real tight turning, good pep & rides fairly smooth. I like that I can stand up & not have...

    The cost of Credit

    This is only my opinion, but the best card to get is the Speedway/Chase card. For the first 2 months you get 8% off. You don't get it at the pump, but you get it as a rebate on your bill one month later. To keep it simple I'll just use gas purchases, but your bill would look something like...

    Thoughts on a new vehicle?

    Thanx to those who responded & also to Geo. I think I'm going to go w/ a 2006 Sprinter & hope that I get a solid vehicle & not one similar to some of the one's that some EO members have gotten. My logic is that a new Sprinter isn't actually that much more than a used one. If I'm buying a...

    Thoughts on a new vehicle?

    I will be purchasing a new vehicle soon & any input anyone may have would be helpful. I'm debating whether to get a Ford Diesel or a Sprinter. I've read the archives as thouroughly as I can & still have a few questions. I realize diesel & gas prices aren't the same, but as best as I could...
