    Motorcycle?

    That post is a bit stronger than actually intended, but the facts are there. Its a trade off somewhere. There is nothing wrong with sacrificing profitability for liesure...as long as you understand and can knowingly afford that sacrifice. I have some relaitves that always, always kept a nice...

    Oh, that's simple! You just have to get everybody in the trucking industry to agree that it needs an update...and by how much :D

    Motorcycle?

    I guess it is how you look at it as far as wasted money goes I would consider the load I missed because it wouldnt fit in a box that shares a motorcycle... wasted money. I would also consider the 150,000+ miles that a team truck runs, the little bit of drag a trailer...even a small one...what...

    And yet another new van coming

    I think the Sprinter engines (engine only) may be the best small diesel engines ever produced. Its the EPA mandated emissions control systems that have ruined not only the Sprinter diesel engines, but every diesel engine. The 60 series Detroit engines were bulletproof until they were forced to...

    And yet another new van coming

    It depends a lot on the engineering behind it. There has been a lot of advancement in materials technology, including metal and/or composites. I see it very possible to build something lighter, stronger and possibly even cheaper.

    fuel surcharge

    Actually, it seems to be the opposite to me. If the fsc is based on 15mpg for vans and the older sprinters (like yours) are getting 23+ mpg, they are gaining an unfair advantage. I would support a 15mpg/gas policy if you'll support a 23mpg/diesel policy? Im pretty sure that carriers and...

    New Load One Gold Rewards Program!

    I found something today that looked very promising. There is a "stock car driving experience" available under the recreation tab. I think it was like 120,000 points or so...achievable...and possibly very cool!

    Bluetooth Headsets, do you use them?

    Blue Parrot Expressway....great headset. The Blue Parrot headsets and some others like them are the best options on the market for truck drivers in my opinion. They have the noise reduction, clarity and volume needed to overcome the noise in a truck.

    Is a spotlight legal?

    I did run across something while looking at tint laws recently. Although its not much, apparently the FMCSA has made it legal for com.ercial vehicles to have tint on the side windows. It does have to allow 70% light transmission though, which isnt alot of help, but some.
