I'll certainly take you up on that! Should be around the time we celebrate our 1 year anniversary with Load One. They won't let me even ride in a car for 4 weeks after the surgery.:mad: I'll make another attempt to buy you lunch.:D

Sometimes business decisions aren't simply black and white. You have to look beyond the initial decision to see the whole picture and how the people involved are affected by it. Todd was right there for Scott when the truck went down. I like to think it was a combination of friendship and...

I agree. My point was that driving is not the only thing to consider before getting into expediting.

The road show stopped here about 2130. Scott has the van, Todd on his way to his drop. The Road Show is officially in the history books. At least they didn't kill each other.

WHEW!!!! I thought it was just me. I realize that I am less than my normal self given the pain killers, but I thought I had tuned into the quilting channel by mistake.:D

I've been asked the same question John. I don't know of any carriers that will accept cdl drivers without experience. A couple of carriers require a cdl to drive a Sprinter or cargo van. I imagine that it is due to the way their liability insurance is set up. I personally don't require a...

John, please post pics. I know where it is, but it will be a while before I can see it in person.

Two tickets. One for him, one for his dog. He's an owner now, I teach classes on how to bite the bullet with style.

I told them going west was a bad idea, but somebody wasn't listening. The van was actually done two days later than we planned since I had to order a new fan clutch. The old one was wobbling too much for my taste. Runs like a new truck. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes on the...

They need to get back here. Scott's Sprinter has been sitting in my driveway for a week waiting for him to pick it up.

Stuck here at home for the duration. Had an MRI done yesterday and it confirmed the disc ruptured again. Have appointment with doc next week to set up the surgery date. I'll be down 6-8 weeks. Will be putting a driver in my truck, so I guess I'm done driving for the foreseeable future.

What you are describing is caused by the Turbo Resonator. It most likely has a small crack in it and is losing vacuum. It's a pretty common problem.When you turn the engine off, the ECU comes out of limp in and resets. Don't throw the old part away as it can be resealed and used again if...

Yeah, the pain is quite sharp. Takes your breath away. Last year the surgery was for a ruptured disc. When it ruptured, some of the disc material went into a main nerve bundle and lodged there. Could barely move much less walk. I don't think that's what happened this time since the steroid...

That's why we inspected it so closely. Never saw one of these snap in two. Now that we have the cause, we'll see how Daimler stands behind their product.

Yeah, CAT won't give you a mustard packet to put on your ham sandwich. I don't expect Mercedes to be much different, but they did participate in some of the EGR cooler repairs on the MBE900, so you never know. Since this is a manufacturing mistake and not a part failure, they may move on...

To those of you that subscribe to the Official Load 1 Yard Grapevine, you know that I had an engine blow on one of my Sprinters a couple of weeks ago. The finishing touches are being put on the replacement engine and it should be running tomorrow. Checks done on the replacement showed that...

This is the first chance I've had to post anything on here since I haven't been able to sit in the chair at the computer. Still at home nursing my back. The doctor's have been doing their normal "try this and see if it works" campaign. Up to last Friday, nothing has been resolved. Did have...

I doubt John will ever say anything. Sent you a PM about an idea I had.:D

I hate to be the voice of reason here, but c'mon this is getting way over the top. John is nice enough to put something in for us, but it should functional for all. TV, Microwave, couple of tables and chairs, couple of comfortable chairs. WiFi is already there. Vending machine with...

That looks fantastic!!! Better than the one at home.:D
