Well I have a cargo van and after considerable thought and planning I decided just to copy a successful design so I am building a bunk styled after Terry and Rene’s rig. Diesel Docs design gave me a bunch of great ideas about equipment I didn’t even think of. Terry and Rene have a solid floor...

Crazynuff, I don’t have any problems except Pilot and it is irritating. I do have to go through the DOT # thing at Shell at exit 156 on I-69 but I have been doing that for years with them when I go down to Indy and I always fill my pick up truck there. I will try the speedway gift card, every...

I was going to do this the first time I was back in town but my wife had me running too much before I went back out. Well I took everyone’s advice about how to get this all started the right way and now I am an expediter. I want to thank everyone for their help and comments, both negative and...

Yes and No. You probably already know how projections work and how to read a financial statement so please don’t be insulted. The idea is to figure your overall cost per mile for all operating expenses based on your actual mileage. In doing so, the Fuel, tires, and maintenance are considered...

They actually make a kit to renew the windshield. It has a pad that attaches to your drill and a really gooey paste. I used is when I was a fleet manager and it really worked well. I also used a highly refined alcohol to remove any thing that was on the glass for the cars that didn’t need...

Could you just imagine if the Congress went back to the tax structure (not the rate of course) of pre 1943? Maybe it is stupid to think that the complexity is really the problem not the rates? Please no consuption/goods or national sales tax. Actually what is fair about a tax?

some advice and my IT story Hey, IT? QA in IT? WOW Sorry for the long response. I hope this helps you but you may already know some of this so please don't be insulted. First as one IT professional to another, slow down. Unless you worked in the Pharma industry, you were most likely working...

Another informative and entertaining post I think that everyone has some very good points here and I want to add my opinion in. I will write this quickly. sorry if I am repeatitive. Business plan – yes needed. It shows your seriousness about becoming a business owner and your willingness...

Joer I have to add something about this. I used to arrange new car purchases for people, some who were elderly and I had to add pedal extentsions on the cars for the 4'8" ladies. The one thing that is really needed is some sort of surface that will prevent boots or shoes to slip off. just...

What I don’t get is the fuel distribution system that has the prices being raised after the fuel is in the ground. I argued with a station owner when he was raising the price of fuel just as I was paying for it. He admitted that the fuel in the ground was already paid for but because the...

>He may have Sleep Apnea, but if he does wouldn't that >disqualify him from driving? Just wondering? I don’t think it would, I haven’t read anything about Sleep Apnea in any regs, but I may have missed it reading too much. If you getting a full nights sleep and still feel tired, go to the...

Well I look at it a different way. As much as I complain about the car companies here in Detroit, I want them to be top in the world. The car companies that remain are trying to survive in an industry that they themselves could have controlled but were too arrogant to do so. They were warned...

Ok here is my 2¢…. The stuff is good for the engine and environment. It is really cheaper to make than everyone says (meaning Willie and his group and the oil companies). It can be made out of any veggie oil out there and also a number of oil crops that are easy to grow. The downside is that...

George I have one other thing to add. You said "Although at $12.00 per with no overtime I was a company hourly employee" brings up an important point about OT. If you were working anything over 40 hours, there may be money owed to you. DISCLAIMER PART -- I am not a lawyer, this is based on...

I am wondering; how are you going to get rid of the windows? I may be wrong, but I thought there is a lot more work to convert the sprinter from the passenger version to a cargo version than to just start out with a cargo van and add what you need. Maybe getting a cargo version would be better...

I had a system in my pickup, long WB with no way to see where I am backing, opps.... I mean see what I just hit... Just kidding Seriously, I am not using a camera setup from a kit that I have seen at camper world and in catalogs but I bought a bunch of inexpensive cameras on eBay and hooked...
