I suppose it could be. It's been predicted for like 2 days, as well - not the tornadoes, though. That prediction was only about a day ahead. Honestly, when I travel, the weather channel ap is one of the most used for me. I don't like surprises.

Somebody tried to drive on I-55 what appeared to be DOUBLES (?) in this weather, and of course, dumped it and blocked one entire direction. The wind just dumped it over. What on EARTH were they thinking? They were talking about gusts hitting 70 mph in the prediction, instead it was "only"...

It seems to have more weight and size capacity than anything except the very largest sprinter... so, will it be considered "sprinter"?

I spent years at a shop where we dealt with these. The 47RH is ok, but it needs modification to work in your application. The lockup converter isn't strong enough, there's some hydraulic issues involved, and it needs a huge cooler setup. The gearing isn't the best, either, for the 5.9...

Yeah... You get half of what the companies charge the customer. Not 60, not 85, not 75... Since you're "on demand", you could sit a lot, doing nothing and earning nothing. And at $1.00 a mile is often at speeds of 15 to 35 mph. It could also happen (extremely rarely) that you have 2, 4...

I haven't posted here in quite a while. I started out last year with the intention of becoming a hotshotter, going to wherever the work was. But things changed in that regard, and I put that on the back burner. Fast forward to May of this year (2013) and the wife and I have upended our...

The last time I looked in Walmart, they had cables that were meant for lawn tractors or something like that. They are double ended, fit under the wingnuts on your deep cycles. And, best of all, were cheap. I have always found them mixed in with the battery cable selection they have.

Honestly, I'm confused by all this talk of a strike. Unions strike against business. They can do so by being a legal monopoly on having a workforce - ie, they have a monopoly over a resource. Unions strike to try to convince someone to pay up or suffer the consequences. So, what does an...

LOL, THAT is what I drove across the country. Not a van. Miserable hunk of junk, it is.

I, too, got my MC#, but no DOT number, since I have no vehicles over 10K at present. I remember seeing a way to get a DOT number after you have your MC, but I can't for the life of me remember it.

I rented a yellow Penske truck to move from Oregon to Illinois. 1900 miles and never had to cross a scale once. Now, mind you, Idaho and Montana don't scale 26000 and under... but nobody else's scales were open! I can't imagine anyone making a living in one of those things. My gawd...

I got a quote for liability insurance from the people named in the title. Has anyone had any experience dealing with them?

Anyone care to say what their auto (not cargo) insurance costs them? And what limits do you carry? Liability, comprehensive, collision, etc? The occupational accident insurance I found seemed reasonable ( about 85 / mo), and the cargo insurance was real reasonable... But my...

Why? Explain.

Nonsense. The constitution required the federal government to set weights and measures, defend us against enemies foreign and domestic, defend the rights of the individual, coin money, create a court system, and make interstate trade uniform. AND NOT A BLASTED THING ELSE. Further...

That's when Atlas Shrugs.

Doesn't matter... For $1.25 a mile?

Yes, I will be in one of top metropolitan areas of the country. I'm mostly trying to figure out just how diversified I can be, to take advantage of any additional opportunities I find, and what it costs to be ready for those. The insurance doesn't seem to be too bad in price and I'd want it...

Well, what's going on, is that where I"m moving to, there's multiple contract courier services... where you're a non-leased owner. And, they have everything from the urgent envelope for 5 miles that has to be there ASAP to the overnight cargo van load that's 120 to 600 miles away. As far as...

The US version has different crash standards, higher weight capacity, bigger brakes, different drivetrains and other structural changes. Probably in a year or two, Fiat will then sell the re-engineered version from Chrysler over there. According to somewhere I read, Chrysler had tested 4.5...
