I see and i appreciate the advice. Ill probably just get myself a promaster. Now comes the struggle of being young with not much credit and getting a loan while being paid on 1099s and not have a "job" as my credit.

Im looking at holding 6 skids....im aware 3 and 4 are rare.

I didnt realize there was such a jump in the fuel mileage with adding the box. I average about 16.5 to 17 in the 17 3500 promaster im in now. If i was able to get a bunch more loads it would be worth it but i dont see that happening. Ill have to talk to my dispatch to get a figure on how many...

Looking into getting my own van shortly. It was recommended to me that I look into a cube van, box truck, whatever (you may call it something different, its a van with a small 14' box on the back) It will lessen how many pounds I can carry slightly, but will double the floor space (with a 2ft...

smart. nobody ever questions you doing that? id think they would be thinking i was just filling up and drink and walking out.

anyone have any intel on the coleman xtreme cooler they have at Walmart they have two models one bigger one smaller (i don't remember the exact sizes) but one says holds ice for 5 days at 90degrees the smaller one for 3 days. 20 and 30 bucks respectively. i would like the bigger one but i think...

Any idea when this is usually over and the freight picks back up?

So whats the deal with this whole "retooling" thing with the auto places? is that generally considered to be over or no? Ive ran about 1800 miles In the past 2 weeks and this weeks been slow as hell too. Is this how the expediting industry in general has been doing or am I just with the wrong...

Its stictly going to be for meats milk and veggies so i dont need a big one or anything like that just to keep what needs to stay cold cold. Thanks turtle ill take a look at those

Ucfd do you know what the model of that one is? And you say about 2 days of ice outside for the coleman about how much would i expect for it being in my van that im usually keeping cool?

Turtle you know a store that carries that 60 dollar coleman? That sounds perfect and 5 days is plenty long enough for me.

Besides yeti is there any good non powered coolers that wont break the bank that will keep ice cold for at least a few days? I wanna start eating healthy and hitting the gym as often as possible as unfortuantely taco bell and mcdonalds arent going to help with that.

I'm curious about this too. Once I get my own van I'm going to make myself a suitable battery bank turtle, but for the temporary can I do something like moot said?

with those lithium ion batteries they seem to only have usb slots is there a way to convert it to a 12v plug for my laptop charger? I believe the charger is 2amps. also my friend loaned me this but its not working, but what about using one of these they are about 800w, get a 1000w inverter that...

Yeah the more i went into it the more i saw i need to use deep cycle. But ill save that for down the line when i get my own van. Whats a good estimate of the total cost for a comfortable amount of battery? Ill do the math when its a reality. Right now i just need to look into lithiun ion...

Does anyone know of some sort of battery that I can plug into the cigarette outlet to charge while the van runs? since this isn't my van and I don't have a lot of money right now to set it up all professionally.

Patiently waiting for turtle to poke his head out of his shell!

my fridge is only 65w, international has batteries for 67 bucks, is one semi battery not enough to power say 125w of power overnight? and when I hook them up do I just run the 16 gauge hot and ground cables connecting all batteries in a line with the inverter being at the end and the regular...

Okay so I'm looking into getting some auxiliary batteries for my sprinter than I can hook up an inverter too. want to power my phone charger, laptop charger, small fridge, and some fans. So its not a crazy amount of power I'm looking to use. So I'm looking into semi truck batteries, where are...

NYC wasn't that bad although I only drove about 15 miles after the GWB. I would go on record saying Chicago is worse. Pretty much just look at your gps and make sure it doesn't take you on any parkways and if it does theres usually a way to change your route or avoid roads. Big signs for...
