    26ft box trucks weight

    Welcome. Don’t get your panties in a wad over scales, logging, and inspections. Adults have been trucking that way since before we were born.Just be sure you understand all those aspects before you start running. The harder part to understand is axle weights. Look on your door jamb for axle...

    Rumor on the street is he might get paroled in Feb 2020.

    Truck shopping !

    I drove a T-300 for a few months as I built my Volvo. It had a Bentz sleeper. Nothing made me think I should go class 7. I hauled a lot of class 6 and class 7 GMC. I would have thought lighter frames. Never paid too much attention, as I never considered class 7. They make sense, in a single...

    Truck shopping !

    The 112” to 120” is by different hoods on a paccar. Smaller hood and firewall/doghouse. I once saw a Western Star with an M12 under the hood. Looked pretty funny. Freightliner uses different cabs and hoods. M2 ( Business Class) /Cascadia. Volvo doesn’t mess with class 7 in this country. .

    Truck shopping !

    I’d suggest talking warranty before negotiating price. Work the warranty into your offer. Recently someone spoke of doing really well with a Penske warranty on a van. .

    Truck shopping !

    My brother in law bought probably what you’re looking for from Ryder Truck Sales a year or two ago. Lots of reasons to buy from Ryder. They’re selling it because it’s time. Not cause it’s problematic or been wrecked.I imagine thier mechanics have as good of a handle on emissions as anyone. They...

    Cargo Van Promaster Oil Change

    I like the way you think. I’d do three with the Napa Gold Air Filter. A new filter will let more through than the slightly used one will. As it gets dirtier it will Trap more stuff. It be interesting to see if you could detect the improvement as the filter gets dirtier.

    Leaking battery bank

    That’s cool on the receipt. Since this is the most drama on this site in months, and you’ve piqued everyone’s curiosity, we need more of the back story.

    Trying to be a rabble rouser, why didn’t you remove those from the van before giving him the keys ? As transparent as my President.

    When Load1 drivers have to start stealing batteries to sell for scrap the whole industry will be hurting.

    Hey, don’t pay attention to him. He’s only a van driver.

    Leaking battery bank

    That should be very easy to find in your Green book. For batteries, mounted securely, wires not chaffing, and tops covered I imagine are the biggest violation issues. Leaking? I’d bet they are not allowed to leak as fast as I’d take that Bears over Lions bet. No takers there. And you call...
