    Ebay! You can get 2 completely new seats for that price! I'm pretty sure that the RV seat I put in my van was labeled to fit Ford or GM. You may have to wait it out until what you want shows up but it will. Of course, your RV wholesale friends probably has something for you too?

    Wheat? That seems really late? Maybe it's normal for it to harvest later out there than here?

    I take it that his 75 cents ran out at the village internet cafe?

    The Big Lie

    I don't know all of the details concerning his business. I don't even remember the exact numbers of how many miles were on the van or the gross revenue. What I do remember is what stuck out to me when Tim told them to me. The gross revenue was LESS than the miles on the van. In other words, it...

    The Big Lie

    I have no idea what your current savings were...and don't care. That has nothing to do with your proifitability as an expediter. For all I know, you inherited part of it..or whatever. It doesn't matter. What I do know is that the numbers he shared with me came out to just less than $1.00 per...

    The Big Lie

    The first thing you need to do is get your facts straight. I have no knoweldge whatsoever of LoadOne owning ANY expedite vehicles of any sort. The trucks they own are Tractor/Trailers hauling truckload freight. It really doesn't matter why you chose to retire to the phillipines. What does...

    The Big Lie

    Just so you know, I am very good friends with the person who purchased your last van. You know, the one where you shared all of your secrets to success? He consulted with me more than once during the process of buying your van. He has told me the numbers that you told him. I know the approximate...

    The Blessing of the Trucks

    Honestly, I didn't see where anyone ridiculed PreacherRich or his beliefs. Several of us, including me, saw an opportunity to get a chuckle or two out of a few things. But I didn't see anything directed toward Rich or his beliefs. I do think we were guilty of hi-jacking his thread...

    Is there a possibility of problems coming from the generator end of the system? I'm thinking that the generator will be "as closed" of a system as the main line running to the van's engine? Which would mean it is workable? Just trying to decide the best way to get it done...without dropping...

    Hey Shadow...or Dennis...or anyone with a Chevy. Did any of you attempt installing a fuel line yet for the generator? The fuel tap kits I had heard of are $350+ from what Ive found so far. Im told though, that just tapping into the tank may cause a vacuum problem? I know Ive heard of loose fuel...

    Multi-Carrier Thread

    Rich, I use a little bit different method for coming up with the numbers, but in the end your cost per mile is within a penny or two of what I would guess. We do have to remember that no matter how much research you do, costs per mile can only be a guess. You can buy a brand new lemon right off...

    Recruiting Manager at LRT Expedite

    Exactly. Now, for the other question. If the feds do raise the bond requirement to $75k or even $100k, is that enough? Personally, I dont think it would be enough for many carriers. I believe it should based on the amount of business a carrier is doing...somehow. I do agree that it would...

    The Blessing of the Trucks

    For what its worth, I see nothing wrong with it and admire PreacherRich for making the suggestion. I may or may not be at the expo depending on a few things. Preacher, I've had a little fun with this thread as others have. Please accept my apologies if you find any of it offensive. I "think"...

    To bulkhead or not

    Im thinking the best thing would be some strategicly placed etrack in the bunk area. Strap 'em to the etrack....seems to work for freight?

    Would you consider the use of either...more safe...or less safe?
