Ram Van CNG sold!

Going to a good home with a pump at the house.

That's the way to do it...no gas station nonsense, under a buck a gallon, always filled up for you at the beginning of the day...

Yes I know nobody cares, just happy I didn't have to scrap it, only 200,000 miles...thank you Dodge for saving me over 10,000 dollars that year...

Picked up in Bowling Green KY last night and heading to Placentia CA for friday. Needed it in a bad way too. About 500 miles each week for the last 2 weeks. Question. How long will you sit and wait for a load before you dh home or to a better area?

I've been stupid enough to wait 4 days. My personal take from those experiences was to move after 24 h, from now on, to a better area within reason. Where you are in a lineup factors in as well

There's only 40 or so of us here at Sienna, so we arent on top of each other too often. Sometimes in El Paso, Laredo, and Cincinnati where they're located, and consequently I live. So, sometimes I sit at home for days upon days...I used to sit for 3-4 days, but my patience has worn out, and I find myself deadheading home after 24-48 hours. Especially if I'm only 500 miles from the house.

Been there done that. The best thing I've seen lately, an expediter on here got sick of it after about 60 hours and took a uShip. Is it worth it? Well if you're going to deadhead home getting your gas paid for on the way was brilliant IMO

I will have to check it out. Something is better than nothing. Thanks for the input.
