I also run a 3500 chevy C/Van and I to agree with you 100%. When you carry hazardous it's a sign saying," okay cops, come and get me."

Good morning JBall. You will find out there is a wealth of information here and great people to share it. Does not matter what part of the country your in, someone here knows where you can find help. You will find that you won't make your million here but the people here are quite different...

Great stuff good job. I don't have a Sprinter but I read a thing about changing the EGR to another type that lasts longer and you can clean it easier, but don't remember where.

I think your right, but there maybe a little confusion between GVWR and Towing, not to open another can of worms. As for me I'm just going to tag my truck for the GVW of the placard on the truck, that way the policeman won't say "STICK'M UP AND SPREAD'M BOY".

I have to talk to three 8th grade classrooms in Feb about careers in trucking. I have looked about everywhere for a dvd or other about this subject. Can anyone tell me where to find something like this. I need some help because I don't think I can talk for 30 min's about trucking. I know, I...

ON NO! I took a couple of packs of Equal from McDonald's. Should I send them a note?

I'm 63 and made up my mind that I'm going to be comfortable even it it means to much junk in the truck. I'm old and crotchety (hmmmm) and need my rest. But I do like the sound of that generator. I have been using 4-6volt deep cycle battery's and a splitter, works well until it get below zero...

Yes safe and legal. If you modify a C/V or anything else to haul more weight you are doing it on your own. You cannot legally raise the GVW that the manufacturer puts on the vehicle. If you get into a wreck and you are loaded over the vehicles GVW you are liable, period. You will be charged...

I just saw the water hose you were talking about. I'll have to check that out. That is a good idea, especially since I have one. It was given to me by a friend in the appliance business. Are you in a regular van or a Sprinter?

I have a roll around a/c in my old shop, the only problem is the water. I will have to find out how big it is. It does cool though. That bubble wrap does it help? I am thinking just to go ahead and have it sprayed. Can get it done in Ft. Wayne, In for about $400. It's 1 inch thick all the...

AMBUSH! Scouts out.

I fully concur. You mean people really change the shower heads in a truck-stop??????????? 40 years out here that's the first one of those I've heard.

You don't have any pictures of the vented unit do you? I have seen some vans with those vents but did not know what they were to. I thought they were vents for heating units. I have seen the door window thing as well. I will probably have to spray foam insulate as well, the fiberglass...

I just remembered. It's called E-Fax.

There is a fax program for your computer that works well. It sends and receives. You can buy a portable scanner that will scan your documents to your computer then fax from there. I don't remember the program name. I know how long it would take to get an ROI from it, but it would be another...

good grief!

Back in 2005 when I was last with them there was those BCO agents. Your right they do have them. There were about 3 agents that I would work for that were actually honest and kept rates up. Why or how they could do it and no one else could is beyond me. I never attended the annual S#*&^^...

I think that's what started the problem about C/V parking in the Flying J lot's last year. Your 100% right about some operators, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME. It's a new world we live in. Wasn't to many years ago Trucking was an honorable profession.

hallelujah brother!

The key word I think is Motorhome. They build those chassis for that industry. You see Swifty Swift loaded with them all the time.
