I never wait at truck stops, I treat this stuff unconventionally and it doesn't feel like a job only when I'm pushing 1200-1400 miles non stop then it feels like hell. I do sleep at trucks stops on occasion when I'm passing through use the restrooms and keep moving to the next town. Drove from...

Been looking at houses in Detroit, prices are under a 100k for a decent maintained home in a decent area. I met a client who just bought one for under 20k in a ok area but I'd rather spend a little more to be surrounded around neighbors who care about their homes. Do you think Detroit is...

So the drivers all jumped ship to another carrier and started high fiving everyone to celebrate a victorious new transition :) When the carriers disrespect they lose drivers and it happens all the time. Been there done that. They don't value drivers and it will catch up to them one day. For the...

How many miles do you have driving Sprinters, you up there with OVM yet?

And your carriers are ok with the whole you ship thing?

So Tristate got the load took a profit off it and contracted it out to a carrier for less money then they were awarded?

They will have a fix for the 2014+ 4 cylinder model around the corner. It's just a matter of time. Drive with confidence. Take a long haul from time to time knowing you might need the $ to stash away for a repair. ;) I'm sure the Canadians will have a fix before long. Mercedes Sprinter Van...

All depends on the carrier spoke with a recruiter at Bolt last week and they said .95 to a 1.05 a mile. My carrier encourages me to run for .75 but I usually bid .80 to $1.00 a mile and sometimes I get it. I specialize in long hauls. Tx to Mi, Tx to California and Colorado. I go places where...

Here is another place capable of installing espar heaters in Elkhart. ProAir Thermo King Chicago just confirmed $1450 installed and $650 for just the espar d2 heater alone if you need a replacement. Locations Illinois Auto Central McCook, IL (888) 872-0292

The dpf is nothing to be worried about, if it fails you just get rid of it and use a pipe to replace. Class 8 trucks with dpfs I'd say nox more then a Sprinter without a dpf. They need to publish real world statistics. I don't feel too guilty driving around a sprinter when I see the smog coming...

My accommodations are in GR, still esparless and I can't sit in places with nothing to do unless I'm sleeping.

Can I sit in GR and feed off of both of these cities freight for a load to TX?

Looking to get out between those dates not going to make it this week back (the 140 broke down in Chicago, no crank no start hopefully starter fixes tomorrow or neg battery cable) in time to set up for Thursday or Friday. I was wondering if there will be loads that week or not? I suppose Chicago...

Just picked up some Michelin defender tires on this 140 I'm selling customer opted for new tires and these tires have saved me. Just drove last night from Chicago to Detroit. I'm pretty impressed lost traction once on a bridge near Jackson at 55 mph.

I sent them a email and they never responded just go with thermo king or if you want to save money on install go to this place in ohio Northern Mobile Electric | Alternators, Starters, Generators, Batteries, Pressure Washers the warranty is still good from Espar regardless of who installs it...

Try Thermo King in Chicago they will beat prices and they are very helpful!

Yeah lived in VA and CO, I just don't do cold anymore. Well I am this week. I'll do all the California loads nobody wants. Just ran from Dallas to Detroit in 24 hrs wasn't even a expedite load but I wanted to get up here quick.

Fullriver might extend the warranty perhaps, hard to beat 7 year coverage. The size of that batter is kinda in a sweet spot as well.

Got quoted $550 today for two fullriver DC 250-6 at centex but I'm ways out, guess I'll try and pick up some lifelines in the next town. I heard the factory is in NC. If anyone is in the area near warehouse and headed to Ohio let me know lunch on me. :) Canton is the drop off location. Can't...
