Tony, Will try to get a schmatic out this weekend. Here is what you are going to need. And of course I have to say anyone is on their own and I take no responsibility, but this is the way I did mine. You may want to have a professional check it out after you have completed your work. 1...

Nothing wrong with Marine battteries, but you also need to consider the amps provided as well as the amp hours that you are going to be using. That's why I elected to go with golf cart batteries. I run a cooler 24 x 7, cb, qualcom, tv/vcr, microwave and sometimes a small heater and there is...

I can (by choice) put two 48X48 skids in the van. When I started I sacraficed what little room I had for comfort for cargo space. I soon found out that once in about 6 months I might get a load that took up more space than 96 inches, the length of two skids. So I elected to put a sleeper and...

If you are refering to a $5.00 car wash that you drive through, try it with a sattelite receiver mounted. Don't work, and if it did, the sattelite would not work when you got to the other end. If I'm home I wash it myself, If you mean the "do it yourself" while on the road I will only do it as...

Wondering what others pay. I have paid anywhere $10.00 to $15.00 for a van wash. Some were good, some were bad. This week I got a wash for $10.00 at the Eagle Truck Wash, across from Flying J, in Walton KY (just off I-75). It was a teriffic wash, which included a brush wash, came out...

In regards to extended battery supply I did the following. Went to a welding shop and had a battery box made for van which would secure two 6 volt golf cart batteries wired in series for 12 volt supply. These batteries last longer than many other types. I ran two batteries for 3 years before...

Hey Guys, it's time to lighten up on EO, this is a good "communications site". First I wish to clarify why I posted in the open. Once I read my private e-mail I shut down the computer. When I came back on to reply to the email, the link at the top of the page was gone so therefore I made...

I will respond at a later date when time permits in regards to the removal of my post listing numerous expediting companies, many which I am sure are unknown, which I thought would have been a great benefit to drivers trying to make a living.

E-mail me, I will send you an attachement (photo)of my setup, can't reduce it on this forum. I use the visor shelf, works fine, got it at JC Whitney. Also be patient with response, I may be on the road.

I had a year with them, there were up's and downs. I made more that year at 58% of the gross than I have made with the company that I am with now. Had to call a lot on settlements but they got it worked out.

I will email photos to those seriously interested. Could not down size the photos. Be paitient if you send me email, I may be on a run. Thanks

One question I can answer for sure and the others are speculation: You question on the Chevy 5.7 350 HP. I just traded in a 1998 Chevy van for a new 2002. The 98 had 444,000 and was still running strong. Did not burn oil and still had the pep it had when it came off the line. Great engine...

Word of mouth seems to be the best advertisment, conversely it can also hurt one's business. I have made a few notes on the post's mentioned herein and even though it won't phase them they will not get my business. Let's keep the word going it may wake someone up. Also kudo's are in order for...

If it were me, I would not enjoin in any enterprise with another party without a written contract. I'm confident that I speak for the majority of other buisness minded individuals. In my opinion you should have a written contact laying out all the details regardless how minor. That way if...

Needless to say this site is a great source of information. But for some of the new guys, old salts or "wannabe's" there is also another expideter site at jroman.com. It seems to be a little slow lately but may be of interest and maybe it will pick up. If anyone knows of any other site...

JUMPMASTER Had almost the same problem. Was universal joint, had all of them replaced and drive shaft checked and that solved the problem. Let us know when you find out.

JUMPMASTER First off, if I were you I would spend a week or so just going to truck stops and talking with tractor/trailer drivers, get their opinions first hand, but as with anything you have to evaluate the answers yourself. As for recruiter information, you have to be the judge as I do not...

JUMPMASTER In my opinion to save money it is essential to have a fridge, microwave and inverter. Having this I have the wife brew up a gallon of coffee and freeze it, when I hit the road it is normally thawed out by the time Im ready for my first cup (summertime). I was leary of this but I...
