    I keep moving up the food chain and have never attended any class or meeting. What does that say? I know, "ignorance is bliss."

    Want to know what you're earning?

    Without getting into all of the math. A tire that is 265/75r16 will have 24 1/2 less revolutions per mile than 245/75r16 hence the optimism of better MPG.

    Want to know what you're earning?

    The tires were not wider they are taller. The circumference is increased therefore you travel further per revolution.

    Want to know what you're earning?

    This is very true. My '08 GMC is that way. Wanting to get the optimal fuel mileage out of it when first purchased I changed the rear end from a 4.10 to a 3.73 increasing mileage by 11%. After seeing this improvement when it was time to buy new tires I changed the size from 245's to 265's...

    Want to know what you're earning?

    Sounds like to much work but thanks anyway. I was just curious what it looked like. I know what my cost is per mile and I just deduct that from what I make per mile. Simple math. Don't need a spread sheet for that. ;)

    I sure hope I know what I'm doing....

    My advice is this. You are NOT going to make a GREAT DEAL of money any time in the near future. It takes time "learning the ropes". As others have said, try not having a van payment when you jump in. I bought an 07 e-350 when I came in. I still have payments to make and it has over 400k miles on...

    My advice to People thinking about van Expediting

    HS I apologize for my previous statement. I went back and read a thread that I thought you were saying you were an Obama supporter. It was your defense of Cheri in that thread and an attack on my ablility to do comedy that got me confused. Somewhere in the deep reaches of this feable mind I...

    Home away from Home?

    Heres my thought. Why rent when you could buy? With the amount of forclosures out there there are some great deals being had and your monthly payment will be less then renting. BUT this is all continigent upon your cash and credit score.

    Van or Sprinter

    You are in the same exact shoes I was in last year. Did alot of home work and jumped in last nov. I ended up going with a newer used van (under 100k miles) payments are real resonable. I have a ford e350. with that in mind I can actually haul more weight then the 3/4 ton sprinter that most...
