    One more reason why I stick with my tried, tested, ultra dependable Ford Econoline. A freind of mine recently developed a transmission fluid leak. No dipstick. No easy accessible way to add fluid, like Ford Econoline. So what is a non- dipstick sealed transmission van owner to do in a...

    It's all about preference. Some drivers are alone, and prefer to stay that way. Some try to make this a 9to 5 job...I prefer to stay out the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week of the month. Stay home on the 1st.

    Thinking About Getting Back Into Vans... Most Reliable and Cost-Effective?

    360,000 miles aren't anything for a van, if it is properly maintained. I've heard of a reputable company requiring 2019 or newer for a van. Some are more lenient depending on condition. Call the company that you are thinking of leasing onto for an accurate answer to your question.

    Rate per mile?

    Rate per mile depends on how a company pays, ( flat rate, percentage, etc,) agreement with a customer...so many variables....what some think is an acceptable rate to haul freight, another wouldn't even turn the key for that rate..I don'tthink that .rates are really dictated by a vehicle...

    More importantly, if it is " Dock High", does it have a icc bumper for the dock lock to lock to? Are you going to stay local? Is the box floor forklift rated??., is there a legal sleeper? Sleeping in the front seat won't cut it in a day cab, and you will need to show proof of motel receipts if...

    Yes, those shirts were always appreciated! Especially the neon colored ones. Much better than a vest. I haven't received one in years...either they were out of my size, or if I tried to get one early days before the event while I was there, ( I won't make a special trip for the event), I was...

    As true as what you stated, many like to sit up front and do paperwork, etc, and look at the scenery from time to time. There is never a dull moment in a truckstop...lol. These steering wheel tables are great for a straight or a semi, but a van steering wheel and column sits...

    Can't say just how much I, as I'm sure others, appreciate the free truck wash at Load One. It works beautifully. However, I don't appreciate the lazy P.O.S. drivers who cannot take the time to clean up the grease that they leave on the floor. Down right pizzes me off, especially after spending...

    True, I'm sure there are some that can't or won't accept the cold hard truth. They may be super stubborn and no matter what proof and facts are presented before them, they will only believe what they believe. I get it.

    It used to be a great website until all the regular members, or the " click", done run everyone off. Who wants to ask advice, or questions when all they get is beat up ? Can't say I blame them, really.
