That's a good idea about standing between the seats, makes it easier to get around. I like the SRW/ the drawback from what I see is when installing an a/c on top you loose 90% of the aerodynamics. Their is only one place you can mount it because of the fiberglass roof. That's another thing...

That's very well put. You can modify a C/V with bigger leaf springs, tires etc, but what is safe. Even if you modify with springs to get that bigger load, your killing other parts of the vehicle, transmissions, drive lines, brakes, Is the extra revenue worth the cost of tarring up your...

THEY BANNED THE DISPATCHER? What are we to do now? Oh no, no one to help us and guide us. Help me, I'm fallen and I can't get up.

Your not alone. I remember about 100yrs ago when I had all the answers. Boy was I wrong.

Historically speaking the first quarter of the year is slow for trucking in general. I think automotive is still going pretty well, they are still in catch up mode, trying to spend all that money the big O gave them.

I guess after 40 yrs I come from the old school. (as far a your truck maintenance goes) if you can do it yourself do it. That way you know it's done right. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. When laying over look around for things that could go wrong, loose bolts, old wire cables etc...

State of Arizona passed an ordinance the other day that the protesters must stay at least 100yards from the funeral procession or out of site. I don't think the fed's have done anything yet. All the fed's want to do now is carry guns. If they shoot like they talk they will be more dangerous...

This is not a cube. The is the CW model with single wheel. Street wide version. 3500 chevy. Gross weight 9600 pds, the same as a van. It's fiberglass van body. See it @ <Unicell.com> I don't want anything that will raise the gvw of the vehicle over 10k. The only problem with this vehicle...

I'm not disputing the Va man, the only way to make it doing that kind of hauling is combining shipments and building loads. To do that you would need someone coordinating the shipments. It's all personnel preference I guess.

Most of the (what I call yard trucks) chassis on dealer yards are standard straight trucks with nothing on them, also most have the 4:10 and 3:73 gearing. I don't mind the 3:73 but I don't need a 4:10. You have to find a dealer that will work with you, most don't because of limited mark up...

You are right about the pool chassis, that's why I'm ordering to my spec's through a chevy dealer who is also a unicell dealer. I have a 3.42 in my p/up but not sure how it would perform with a load. If you have a 6.0 w/a 3.42 what kind of mileage are you averaging? The diesel thing probably...

Yeh and I can't wait. I'll dead head home from California if I have to, just to vote. And guess who I'm not voting for, AGAIN.

The reason I chose the Aerocell CW, it's not much bigger than a van but close to the size of the Sprinter and lighter than the stock van by 700 pds. I can carry 3,000# and stay under the 10K limit. It has the aerodynamics needed for fuel mileage. Adding AirTab's will also help. I'm supposed...

Hello back, 40yrs and hear every word you said. Welcome.

Everyone should do that. Factory cables are the cheapest money can by. After the first year of operation with weather and all a vehicle looses 75% of it's grounding because of salt and all that other stuff. While your at it take a 1 O/T cable and run it from your negative battery post to the...

I am in the process of ordering a Chevy 3500 cutaway with a Aerocell box on the back. I will be able to handle 3 pallets but I'm still going to be under 10K. The CW Aerocell body has 500cu ft of loading space. I am also going to have a Power Deck installed so there will be no sliding of...

A friend of mine at the local parts store will sell me the Trojan 305 for $130 but I have to have a trade-in. It hard to find one much less 4. I'm going around to the county dump sites and looking for old battery's. If I don't have a trade then it goes up $18 a battery. Not picking on your...

I seem to remember not long ago someone joined this site to help drivers out. So far I see nothing but the rising stress factor. Sit back, take a deep breath relax it will all work itself out. Have a nice day.

You mean your Dispatcher lies to you? Mine never lies to me, Tisk, Tisk, lol.

I would like to know who those carriers are. If you know and would share ether here or PM me I would appreciate it. Have a great day.
