My time in expediting is so limited I don't even know what I don't know. BUT, there are two pieces of advice I can offer potential newbies who think this would be a really cool way to make some "extra cash." First, read anything you can find in these threads by doing a search and then...

Home waiting for the dispatch gang to call. Please check in!

Orientation is Wed. Feb 22. I appreciate all the help received here over 16 months. Thanks also to Scott Holcomb and John Mueller for the confidence and chance to better my family. See you out there!

Found this on Uship. Take a look. Can't decide if he's serious, but it is funny none the less.:rolleyes: I've never seen a guy ship himself. http://www.uship.com/shipment/Homeless-And-Wanting-To-Go-Home/832174673/?rt=1&i=42&p=50&s=4496

Just watching the natgeo tv show Doomsday Preppers. While I don't share their level of enthusiasm, I am inspired to start thinking about some of these scenarios. A small farm and living off the land sounds really appealing. Has anyone else seen the show and do you think these folks...

I've been posting and reading here for about 1.5 years, well, mostly reading. There is an infinite amount of knowledge to be had here and many, many things have been hashed and rehashed to the point where some of the veteran members have seen them 50+ times. As I take stock in what...

1. What is your favorite one hit musical wonder (or flash in the pan, say 2 hits) from your younger days? 2. What was the first album or "45" you ever purchased?

I need an Admin. or a Moderator to delete a thread I somehow double posted in the "newbies" sub-forum. Please and thank you very much. If I have the ability to delete my own post I couldn't figure it out.

I see a lot of cargo van owners talking throughout these threads about their vehicles and was wondering something. Why so few Dodges? Most guys and gals here seem to prefer Ford, Chevy, GMC so is there something about the Dodge vans that make them less appealing to haul freight? Or, have I...

What is the best way to figure maintenance cost for a c/v o/o? The easiest for me is cents per mile(total mileage divided into total maint. cost???). If that is the case, what figures per mile have some of you veterans ended up with in past years? I realized they will be totally ambiguous as...

Thank you all for the advice and knowledge your experience has provided thus far. After 6+ mos. of researching I'm finally taking the plunge. The most important thing I've gotten from this forum is that, to a person, the message has been to be informed and to listen to those who've been there...

Other than hiding my insidious behavior, would there be any disadvantages in changing a passenger van like this one into a cargo van? It will have an enclosed sleeper.

After searching previous threads, I have one question. Is one vertical row of air-tabs at the rear of a cargo van sufficient? This is my new van/office/apartment.:)

Can anyone please offer advice on how much insulation the lining in the picture provides? Thank you!:)

Having trouble uploading new profile pic. When I save changes it says "upload failed". Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve.:):confused:

I have been researching expediting a while now(6 mos.) Makes, models, GVWR, GWR, heaters, ac, appliances, inverters, mpg, hp, cargo length, which motor, etc... What I cant find searching the threads is this. How many loads per year do people lose due to weight limitations: i.e not being able...

In my endless research I came across this blog last night. It gives specifics about using and installing power inverters. There is a lot of information in one spot. However, these threads are still the best source of advice from those who have used them in practical applications...

This seems to be a popular topic for a question this time of year but can anyone tell me, good or not, what their experience has been with them? This site has been very helpful so far in research and decision making, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

For a small fridge micro and heater, will an inverter work? Just trying to get prices set my van up. Looked at floors and e-trac most of the night. My brain hurts.

I'm looking at cargo vans and will purchasing one in Feb. Relevant comments pertaining to which engine folks have had the best luck with as well as durability and economy would be most appreciated.
