    Question for Musician Expediters

    I met another musician looking to get into expediting and he was asking me if he thought he could fit a tour in between loads... I didn't want to disappoint him but you pretty much have to do one or the other.

    Another Tragedy on I-65 in KY

    I wish they'd regulate the speed on 53 ft trucks down to 60 MPH. I'll have to be on the lookout on i65, I pretty much am on all interstates/roads. Expedite in cargo vans was not made for safety it was made to get the freight to the customer regardless of how tired the driver is...

    Heating / Cooling What is considerd to be the ESPAR of Air Conditioning systems?

    What kind of rooftop would you get if you had the space? I looked up those Onan's wow that thing cost almost as much as my sprinter :) Anyone use one of these ? or have a suggestion for a diesel generator that is compact and under $2500-3000...

    This sounds like the best plan because you can remove it in the off season. Where did you cut the hole and are there some good stand up units you can recommend that will run off a honda eu2000i that I can research? Thanks Swamp30! Florida gets pretty sweaty even in winter. This unit looks...

    honda EU 2000i I hear is a good one to run and quiet! Do you recommend portable ac inside with hose out window, rooftop ac or a rear window unit? The rear window unit looks pretty trashy, maybe I could build a box around it to hide it :)

    sprinter van

    119k is a baby. I'm at 190k and looking to go hundreds more. Make sure you follow maintenance intervals. Oil, air, cabin, fuel filters, frequent transmission, oil, and rear differential fluid changes and it will run forever! Also keep some good diesel fuel injector cleaner in your tank...

    Panther seems to have a large Cargo Van fleet, enough freight for everyone?

    Been seeing a lot more trucks then loads lately. Seems like if they all were looking for loads in Chicago or Detroit the answer is yes. I'm real curious to see where the industry will be come March 15th is when they are promising more loads. Where do you guys see the industry going...

    I'm getting better load offers out of Baton Rouge then Atlanta last week!

    In the last two days, I've been offered a load from Baton Rouge to Charlotte, St Louis and Detroit! I'm on hometyme so I'm headed to Texas tomorrow hoping for a load up to Colorado. I'm not sure if this is just a freak accident week or there is always freight out of Baton Rouge but it seems like...

    Do you ever get tired of this?

    "Most of the problems in expediting can be cured by a shower and a good night's sleep. When you wake up clean and with a clear head, the problems that troubled you yesterday somehow aren't there today." I felt that way this morning when I rolled out of the Wmart P lot over to the LA fitness and...

    Atlanta SLOW this week for cargo vans. Anyone feel the same?

    NE Atlanta... not really a Newbie just a young man in my early 30's. I do all my own sprinter maintenance and upgrades. I've been in the transport business for awhile previous to this I was a map sales rep and drove 50k a year in the southwest, my grand father owned a shipping business from...

    CEO out at panther! What's going on now?

    I don't think driving away from the panther world headquarters in a M series BMW will be a hard task. Anyone checked the employee parking lot lately over on Panther Parkway?

    What is more comfortable after driving 700 miles a straight truck or sprinter?

    Zorry I agree with you. I'd think a 130K volvo with air suspension would surpass a $40k sprinter. I know that the sprinter is going to be redesigned in 2017. I'm curious to see how that one will ride. I know the 07+ sprinter are more comfortable then the 2006 I have. expedited services are...
