I had an interesting talk with a fellow expediter who claims he can get four full size skids, 48X48 on the floor, not stacked, in his truck. He has a 10 foot box van that is 90 inches wide on the inside. He also claims he can get four totes in the box with room to spare which I can to but I...

So after looking at a few sprinters this weekend for an expediter and seeing a one interesting one, I wondered how EO members have their's setup?

Well I just had a really interesting conversation with a lurker of this site and it ended with "prove it". The subject is how much can you carry in your sprinter? He thinks that the sprinter can haul more than it does. I won't post what the numbers we discussed to be fair about this, so I...

Seeing Leo is on a get all the info on the van kick lately :p, I know everyone really loves White, but if you were to have any van/cutaway vehicle color regardless what the company says, what would that color be.

...to winterizing your truck. I went through mine a few weeks ago and still I ended up with an electrical problem that put me on the side of the road. Nothing I could have done to really prevent it, the mechanic told me that there was really one problem but he replaced all the battery...

I was asked about van cargo control and really at a loss in trying to figure out what the guy is talking about. He bought a sprinter and has two types of track on the walls, E track and what he calls L track. How many of you van owners/drivers use something other than E track to tie down...

I know that I may be coming to the party late, I got the news Monday night and forgot to post it. Mercedes will no longer use Chrysler/Dodge as an outlet for Sprinter sales or servicing 1.1.10 They will only sell it and service through FL and Mercedes. As an added nicety, if you have a...

What you think will be the new mileage standard for trucks used in this business. Right now we are seeing 11 mpg. The Feds have been shifting money back into programs to research reducing fuel consumption in class 8 trucks.

Today I was taken out of service by my company. I had received a full thorough inspection (company) on the 12th of June, on the 14th, I was pulled into an Ohio scale for another inspection which pt me out of service for mis-adjusted brakes. Well I adjusted the brakes and went on my way...

Well as I am a captive audience to anyone who walks by and asks what's wrong, one guy asked me what isn't my reefer unit vented and I told him no. But that leads me to a rather uninformed question, what is the reason to vent a reefer and why would I want to do that with my straight truck? Oh...

Don't panic Don't park in a bad area Don't panic because you have a flat and parked in a bad area And don't panic because of the good size bill for road service you will get I am sitting here in Dallas, somewhere in Dallas with a flat tire thanks to the many others who had blow outs with...

How do you have a 15 foot can that can have a 4500 lb payload capacity AND be under 10k GVW? I am assuming that the couple I saw make that claim on another site are not on sprinter 3500 chassis. I may have asked this before, but I am too lazy tonight (actually too tired) to see if I did.

I am trying to help out my former neighbor, so here are a few question; I am looking for some info on Penske box vans, you know those yellow cutaways. What length is your box? Your GVW? Do you know what it weighs? Thanks in advance

Yesterday as I was pulling out of the truck stop, turning left in front of me at the entrance was a western star. Nothing special about it, pulling a 48' trailer but I looked and had to look again. The hood, cab and sleeper were sitting above the frame about 4 or 5 inches - big gap between...

Just wondering if anyone has an automatic lube system installed on their truck and how do they like it?
