I have to agree on the DOT bumper. Very impressive looking. However, I'm sitting in Youngstown at a shop that does warranty work for ABC. There's a leak in the front, left, upper corner. They say that it's structurally O.K., just needs to be re-caulked.

I drove my van to Columbus to pick up my new truck. Drove it in the box and used load locks front and rear. No problem. Met a flatbed wrecker in the Big Lots parking lot, it was where he happened to be when I called, drove the van out and the wrecker put it on the ground. Probably the easiest 40...

My experience with the J was the same. I'm getting the same thing with my Altell card. Some towers are real good, some good enough, and some are like it is in Milton, Pa tonight. The thing just seems to sieze up, and EO is the worse. I'll bring up a second browser and other sites seem to go better.

My new ride went into service Friday, 3/9. '07 M2, 84" Bentz, Rigmaster. C&M unit #387. Oh yeah, it's white.:+

Being hungry has to be a good sign. Go Glen!!

That seems like a big inverter for a van. Do you really need that much? You absolutely need to hook that to the battery, and I would never turn it on without the engine running. It's gonna suck a lot of juice.

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Jefferson asks a good question. You claim to not be a liar, yet, in your original post you say you don't know about E1. Which is it? Do you have any comprehension of what credibility is?

Cumbuyah, Lord, Cumbuyah...

Well, so far, I think I'm gonna like it. '07 M2, 250 MBE, 6 speed automated, 84" Bentz, 22' box. The Rigmaster gets installed Tuesday. It should be ready to put in service Thursday. I'm getting to see how it runs with 7k in the box hauling my van back home. Tommorow will be the test on the hills...

My Feb was the PITTS!! But, now that I can haul 10 skids instead of 2, maybe things will improve. Typing from 84" of comfort ain't bad either.

What a perfect day for this thread to show up. I picked up my new 22' ABC box today. So far, it's hauled my van from Columbus to Anna, Oh. with no problem. My fingers are crossed.

I got a Garmin c330 about a month ago and I like it so far. ETA feature is something I didn't realize I'd like as much as I do. As far as routing, I still do my own. I was going through Ohio and made a turn that Garmin didn't want me to. After recalculating, it cut 30 minutes off the ETA.

Add me to the prayer and positive thinking machine. Best wishes for an excellent outcome.

Sleep management in a thread about fuel taxes? All righty then... (Twilight Zone music plays.)

What?

Jeffman, check out the anchored thread in the Newbies forum.

I've been to Laredo and Brownsville and I haven't seen anything that supports the increased accident concern. And, that's where they're operating. I'm not saying I'm a fan of them being here...

You say you have no house payment. That would suggest that your general cost of living low. Yet, fuel and personal expenses for a cargo van are a problem. That being the case, moving up to a bigger truck may not be a good idea. Also, you chose a terrible time of year to get into the biz. If you...

TallCal, the welcome mat is definately out if you can make it. If there's any Anchor Steam available in the Wilmington area, I'll buy the first round.

I'm skeptical about $75k net, but you will do far better in a straight than in a van. As a current, but soon to former, van O/O, I agree with Babs post. You can get a suitable new truck for less than $2400 a month. We always recommend that newcomers research the forums. If you take the time to...
