    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    Also wondering how the weight capacity is kinda reminds me of a frito lay body on the Sprinter. Given the weight capacity a 16ft would be nice to have on Cargo Van 3500/4500 chassis. Definitely not as wide as a box truck cargo van but wider then standard cargo van. Might give a ring down there...

    Any SoCal LA based expedite companies?

    Getting tired of running uship ready to go back into expedited freight. Uship rates are getting rediculously low and it takes forever to book a load waiting and waiting weeks before departure, imagine the carriers are mixing corporate freight in to be able to do it that cheap. Should be plenty...

    Anyone running a Westinghouse iGen2200 or New Yamaha EF2200iS?

    Seems like the generator market has progressed greatly from 2013 when last looking. I'm interested in both of these but leaning towards the Westinghouse iGen2200. It has a much lower price, quieter and 2 hours longer run time then the Yamaha EF2200iS.
