    Thinking About Getting Back Into Vans... Most Reliable and Cost-Effective?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to y'all. Life got...weird. It's not often I run into situations that are totally new and unique to me, but Oh. My. God.:oops::dizzy::vomit: Yeah, I plan to keep up on the maintenance. Cost of maintenance is definitely one of the considerations. If...

    Thinking About Getting Back Into Vans... Most Reliable and Cost-Effective?

    Ragman: This past August was my 10 year anniversary being out of expedite, but not out of carrying things. I've done courrier and delivery stuff on on and off, usually part-time since then. I seem to have trouble extracting myself from transportation lol. Is the market oversaturated? Mostly...

    Thinking About Getting Back Into Vans... Most Reliable and Cost-Effective?

    I've been out of the business for a long while, but I'm thinking about coming back in with cargo vans. I don't plan to drive for an owner this time; if I come back it's 100% mine. But a lot's changed with the vans on the road the past 5 or 6 years... I've fooled around looking at various...

    Chef Dennis's New CargoMax

    It's a spiff van, but the mileage...akkk!!! That's almost what I get empty in my ST. Sometimes I wish I was short enough to fit width-wise in a van. You guys get to do such cool stuff with them. Maybe I'll get me a cube one day....lol Christopher

    The Big Under Body Tool Boxes

    Where are some good places to get them, and what kind of prices would I be looking at? I need to start bringing a bike with me, and need a place to store it. I hate being stuck in one place on a 34 hour reset (especially in places like Antioch where there's nothing at this exit). I thought...

    External Heating/ AC Units on Condo Cabs

    Please keep suggestions to equipment, not playing musical owners. I'll look into them. Thanks! I hadn't thought of a cabinet mounted wall unit. Shouldn't cost much to have a shop make a proper vent hole (I'm not gonna try it...lol besides they can make it look like it belongs). Wouldn't...

    External Heating/ AC Units on Condo Cabs

    I'd love to have a genny and an external unit for the truck both for fuel savings and to deal with no idle states. I drive a converted condo sleeper Freightliner Century. I've discussed it with my owner and he says you can't put a roof-mounted heat/ac unit on a condo. But, I've seen a couple of...

    12 Volt Electric Blankets

    Are these cost effective and sufficient for keeping warm with the engine off? Say down into the teens, above the point where diesel gels up. Or will this kill your battery if you're able to get 8-10 hours of bunk time? Thanks! Christopher

    Pre-Paid Cell Carriers

    Hehe. Maybe. Yeah, I was told about Boost, but when the guy showed me the coverage map, there was no way. It stays pretty close to major cities. Didn't look like a good option for being out in the farm belt. It's in this section because in the sleep depraved state I was in when I posted...

    Pre-Paid Cell Carriers

    Oh, that was bad, Moot. I think you broke my punny-bone. Actually, I've been dead broke every time I've started...lol. I've been even broker than I am this time. That Altell thing sounds good, KW. You say the coverage is fine? MG, how was the coverage in southern Indian, Kentucky, TN, etc...

    Pre-Paid Cell Carriers

    Ok. I'm headed up to Ohio to get back into the game. But I've let some of my more imprtant tools fade. Primarily cell service. I've been on ATT prepaid for a year and a half. Suited my needs just fine. $.10 per minute, free to other ATT users, and charged a dollar on every day I used it...
