    Question regarding a company

    You should contact as many Van Drivers as you can. Are they making any $ enough to support a family and a business? Start investigating cause the word I hear is that it ain't what it use to be. It might help if you have the luck of the Irish to.

    The ProHeat ordeal continues

    I do not know if I agree with the Idle Buster Comment. Reason being you can put a roof top unit with it. It then becomes a pretty good source of power and has much more room inside of it with a larger generator than my Pro-Heat. I believe this is a nice unit. Anyone using one?????

    The (not quite) ultimate expediter

    Gotta Agree with T-Hawk here, OVERKILL, why? Yeah to each his own I know I know. Observation, how many of us look at a 20 year old driving an Esclade with the TVs, Spinners, Stereo so loud, etc... Beautiful vehicle do not get me wrong, but there is a line between profit and show and at a...

    It is safe to say that Grey Water is not contianing any Body Fluids could be dumped onto the ground. I prefere not to do this in a truck stop though. Also watch in the winter time that if you hold any water get it emptied asap as it will freeze and crack your holding tank. Same goes for...

    air brake test

    Dreamer is right. One more suggestion, when I called for an appointment at our DMV there was a 4 month wait to get tested. Go to a local College that does Truck Driving Testing and for a moderate fee and you may have to rent a truck from Ryder with Airbrakes not the Furniture Truck Division...
