I think I found something for you regarding the laptop stand thing. Its kinda pricey, but so is a laptop sliding off your seat and breaking... http://www.iowa80.com/iowa80/shop?method=product&prodid=92027

Time for another update.. I am currently waiting for my wife to get her Class C CDL. She went in and took the written test, and failed,,,, MISERABLY!!. You are allowed to miss 10 and still pass, she missed 21 out of 50 questions.. I got a feeling its going to be a bit of time befor something...

Well I went out shopping around at some vans, trying to get an idea of what I would like to get into. I found a 98 1 ton dodge extended maxi van. Has the 5.2, auto, overdrive, cloth seats, cruise, rear heat and AC, its white, and has a RAISED ROOF!! No for the bad stuff, its a passenger van, so...

Well, I wont be going to the truck show in Louisville. Its going on 1am in the morning, Im still at work, and going to be here for some hours. So will try to catch next one. But as far as me and my wife go on the expediting bit, its going to happen, its just matter of time...;-)

The Dodge One ton is definetly one of my Top picks. Followed by GMC, and Ford last. The dodges are extremely easy to work on (I think), and the motors are almost indestructable. Problem is, finding one that isnt a passenger setup (all windows) and doesnt already have alot of miles on it, or been...

Upon further investigation, I think I might be going with Panther II rather than FECC like I had originally planned. Since I have decided to dig in my heals from the get go, PII allows me to buy an older van, and give it a "try out" so to speak. So instead of dropping 22,000+ on a new van, I can...

By the time you include the $$ for the idle option, conveinience groups, power windows, lock, and what have you, it was just a shade over 36000. That was the Extended WB and raised roof.

I would like to recomend the Petro in Effingham IL. They have a CB shop in there, they built my Cobra 29 up, and did a hell of a job with it. I have a echo board in it, but its just barely turned on. You want just enuf to give the voice definition without being overbearing, unlike alot of those...

Well we went and took a test drive in a sprinter extended raised roof tonight. I was really impressed by the size of the interior, and the electronic adjustable headlights, Making it so you arent possum hunting when loaded. just flip the switch, and it brings the headlights down to the ground...

RE%3A Time to get on the ball in Expediting Accident, disregard..

I would like to recomend Valvoline instant oil change to you guys with deisels. The ones I visit locally, and the one I used to be a manager of, would always fill the filter with oil, check the dipstick to make sure its at least at the full mark BEFOR starting, and top it off after they check...

If I was running solo, I think the unicell would probly be a good idea. But, I am going to be running team, and the whole idea of a suspended bed above freight while the vehicle is moving just does not sit well with me. Not to mention, with some freight in there, my wife (very short) couldnt...

We arent completely sold on the sprinter. The downtime issues are a big factor. No vehicle running down the highway + paying for a hotel = negative profit. I have seen, and actually have been in Terry and Rene's Limo. It is setup quite nicely, with me only finding 1 thing i didnt like, and that...

I have searched around for information about the AeroCell, but cant find anything. So lets start with the basic questions.. Is it below a 10000 GVWR? Who is it manufactured by? type of motor? How large of a vehicle are we talking? Will it be able to comfortably sleep 2 adults during downtime...

Hey gang, The wife and I have finnaly made the decision to get out into the expediting thing. She just got her Class C CDL. And we are just determining on wether we want to go with a expediting coverted Sprinter as seen here [http://www.expeditersonline.com/am/listings/l0062.html], or to get a...

My sugestion is going to be slightly diferent. Since the rear springs are already sagged down about 2-3 inchs just from the weight of the truck and cargo, I would attack this from a completely diferent angle, that is going to be easier on you, and your truck. What I would do is contact a trailer...

Thanks TinInTheWind, finnally some information pertaining to the stuff I asked about, and not someone saying Im stupid for going to a cargo van instead of a straight truck, no matter how much I said I wasnt going to one. I really do apreciate that and thanks for the information. Will be reading...

RE: abcwine, PantherRecrtr, dantherecruiter,HotFr8 Is there a FECC recruiter here. I have questions that I have been battling with the recruiter on the phone. And his answers dont make sense.... x( Brian

I prefer cummins. Detroit is taking a nose dive as Frieghtliner/Benz phases it out to be replaced with the Benz motor. The Cat I apsolutely destest. Its a great motor if you are pulling oversized loads/overweight loads. But for regular straight truck, 18 wheel truck, the fuel mileage doesnt...

Well, I am looking specificly at a 2001 Chevy Express Cargo Extended. 127k on the clock, for 7500. Its completely stripped thou. no cruise, no P/L, P/W, and vinyl seats. I got an estimate from the dealer for 350 to install cruise. P/W and P/L or a not needed thing, just nice to have. And I found...
