I've been doing more research lately as I get ready to go back on the road, and have found a few things that new and old drivers alike could use. If Lawrence doesn't mind, I'll post things that I have found along the way that I think will make things easier. Somethings, like websites, etc...

Hey Weave, This is a point that messes me up when figuring ratios. You said the higher the rear end ratio, the lower rpm at speed, therefore better fuel mileage, right? So is 3.58 higher or lower than a 4.63 rear? I've looked at trucks with both. So, let's say, all things being equal, a...

Lawrence, I'm online with dial up showing 46.6 kbps, about normal for me, and it is 'popping up' the pages faster for me. Someone with cable or higher speed internet might not notice, but it's working better for me. I suppose the real test would be to get online thru the kids' Webtv unit...

OntarioVanMan, End of the model year sure seems to be the time to buy. I found this example of a good deal on a Unicell while checking prices. I'm personally leaning towards a regular bodied Hi topped E350 for my next one, but since you mentioned the Unicell, I thought I'd bring this one to...

I do have to agree with DaveKC also. If you are just starting out, and income is limited, it wouldn't hurt to do something more flexible like Jeff's setup til you make sure this is what you wanna do. A lot easier to take out if you change your mind. I had never heard of someone making a bed...

trhoades, 1st off, welcome to the forum! Sheet metal screws will work just fine, as long as they are of sufficient length and strength to hold the wood. Just make sure you counter-sink the heads of the screws in the wood, so as not to catch the freight (or your butt :-) ) on them. Also, if...

Nice gettin to talk to some of you finally! Too bad we kept gettin booted! Hope to do it again sometime. Dreamer

LOL.. that reminds me of someone I know who got a sales call right in the middle of closing a deal selling a car.. they were sellin some kind of "miracle cleaner"... he told em he couldn't talk right now, cuz the police were still there, but would their cleaner get out blood stains, and that...

Thanks Lawrence! Another thing.. just to throw out, my wife is losing too... and she's doing it by taking Women's One a Day multivitamins, with green tea extract. Apparently, Green Tea is an appetite supressant. Never tried it, but I looked it up online, and found info that supports their...

OntarioVanMan, You would think so, wouldn't you? I have some friends on it, whose cholestrol has actually gone down, and one friend with diabetes is now doing GREAT. Her sugar is under control, and she's lost 72 pounds... you couldn't GET her to go back on a regular diet... she loves it...

I just caught that part. That's really a sick little joke. I can take a lil poke, I'm a big boy... but what Karen Carpenter died from is a serious illness that affects over 8 million people. For those who don't know or remember, Karen Carpenter(of the group The Carpenters fame}, died of an...

Wow...and who said you had to be positive and nice to do good and have people knockin down your door! Glad you're doin good Sean. Have fun...

LOL... Bacon grease??? YUCKK! Wait... I don't eat bacon...nevermind..lol..... seriously, I cut salt out almost all together, and started drinking more water, and it's already droppin. Sides, if it was grease, my cholestrol would be crazy. Just heredity and stress mostly. lose 250 by...

Good stuff Teacel, and may I add a couple from my personal list: If you want to get an idea how busy the company is, ask them: How many trucks do you have signed on/what sizes How many loads did you have YESTERDAY(or pick a few days)broken down by size in other words, you wanna know what...

WR, Wow, sorry your van took a dump on ya, hope it's nothing serious, and you can get back out there quick! Dreamer

Excellent post louixo, you summed it up nicely.. Dreamer

I must second that. I appreciate the fact that years ago when I visited for the first time, I was immediately welcomed by Teacel and Lawrence. Weave has answered MANY questions that I could get answered no where else. RichM gave me the benefit of his years of experience in explaining FedEx...

Awesome story. Seems like I remember reading it before, but it's even more special hearing it read. May we all be aware of those less fortunate around us... and thank God for what we have. My mother is now going thru that confused state, so that story struck home more for me. I hope, that...
