Not sure that this would fit in a cargo van, but the straight truck crowd should be able to figure out how to retrofit their sleepers for a good night's (or good day's) sleep. http://www.qsleeper.com

Lawrence, Have you set the workshop/seminar dates for 2006 yet? Do you have an idea when they will be posted? Thanks "99% of life is showing up on time"

My wife and I are strongly considering expediting in the future. With regards to license and experience, I have a Class B (since March '04). I actually have 20 years experience in this class truck as a firefighter (up to 40 ft. length and 65,000 GVW under emergency conditions in all types of...

Are there any industry stats or estimates on the number of husband/wife teams (or percentage of total teams that are H/W) available? It seems to be prevalent in the expediters, and I see it more and more in conventional mainstream trucking as well. BanditMan "When the going gets weird, the...

O.K. Truck Spec experts - I am thinking seriously of spec'ing a KW T300. The cab measures in at 9 feet, allowing an 8 foot sleeper and a 22 foot box. KW offers this truck with an optional 14,000 lb. front axle and a 30,000 lb. single rear axle, giving you a whopping 44,000 GVW. As near as I...

I'd like to hear from the Class E crowd. Who are you leased to, how is the run volume, and how are you getting by with the current fuel ripoff?

Just wondering, on a D unit, would the investment in a reefer box be worth the possiblity of more runs? As a rule, do the carriers offer dry loads to the reefer units as well, or do they keep them available for only refrigerated loads? I assume (which I should never do) that the...

To our experienced moderators: I have looked at hundreds of photos of expediter trucks and read about hundreds more. Why is everyone running conventional long hood trucks? Seems that with the length limitations on straight trucks, more people would be looking to use that wasted vertical space...

Other than clutching for starting and stopping, what are the main differences in an automatic trans. and an auto-shift? Is one clearly a better choice over the other for drivability or dependability?

Thinking seriously about entering the expediting profession within the next two years. Have taken the suggestion of reading the posts on the board. From hundreds of comments, I came up with these conclusions. - A D rig can haul all loads from A-D, and even E's if you can move it and scale it...
