    Dream Van

    DD Just got home and enjoyed, with some envy, all the ideas you've got wrapped up in a small package. In anticipation of you being at the EXPO, I've taken my van out of the competition for any of the many prizes available. You'll probably win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Looks to me like you'd scale...

    Health Insurance

    could'nt agree more with A-Team's coverage comment. For the Armed Forces Veterans: you might consider checking with the VA to see what, if any , benefits may be available. Low paid vets may be eligible for excellent bennies having served for only a couple of years, several years ago.. This...

    Owner Operator Question ?

    Apollo - You're right. There are so many variables we all know about, and there probably are an equal amount that only you know about. nearly all of these are discussed in recent past posts.
