    Cargo Van Promaster Oil Change

    On a related note, I ran into a fellow Promaster owner, who said he’s had 2 engines last only 140,000 miles. I obviously don’t know his maintenance record, but it was unnerving to hear. I’ve read some of you have had your engines last much longer. I’m hoping correct maintenance and keeping the...

    Cargo Van Promaster Oil Change

    Quick update. Been using the Quaker State Full Synthetic. Had it in the van over Christmas/New Year, so was in longer than normal, and was idled more than normal. Didn’t go over 4K miles, was just a lot more short mileage driving on the holidays. Wasn’t too impressed with the Quaker State oil...

    Locations & Banter , January 2019

    I just give it a quick wash, brush, wax, and rinse wherever I am, until I know I’m taking time off. In the case of time off, and in front of friends and family, out comes the shammy, waxing the van by hand, multiple coats of tire shine, a good cleaning of the rims. I will say, I am depressed...

    Creed 2 Rant

    ^What you saw What you heard > YEASSS ABAUSSS! Creed 2 is like a combination of Rocky 3 & 4. If you liked those movies, you’ll probably like Creed 2, but of course, watch Creed 1 to get his back story. It’s incredibly interesting how you start the movie with hate for Ivan Drago, and end the...

    Midterm Election 2018

    I believe it’s generational because of the uptick of single parent homes, and the increased government stands against authoritative parenting, like the man that lost his right to see his children because he wouldn’t take them to McDonald’s. Parents that make sure children get enough sleep, eat...

    The Trump Card...

    There were parts about Bill Clinton and Barack Obama’s I liked. Clinton was in touch with the common person, and their problems. His I feel your pain to all working classes that we’re losing out was a person identifying the problem. And, on the personal side, who didn’t like Barack Obama? At...

    The Fake News Depot

    I love Mark Dice. I honestly get most of my news from BitChute anymore. There’s zero balance in MSM. Used to at least have the “illusion” of balance, having Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs on CNN. All of 2008-2012 the Left screamed how FOX is Fake News. They weren’t wrong, they just only saw half...

    The Trump Card...

    Yes, what if America was to optimize all vehicles to run at the perfect speed, then the rest of the world didn’t. Better yet, what if we Paid the rest of the world to Not run at an optimized speed, but America would, and penalize the crap out of American Companies that didn’t optimize. Imagine...

    No bills or obligations, simple life style. Expediting financially viable?

    If you drive a van for a owner, you’ll average $.25-.35/mile. When it’s all said and done, you’ll average about $600/week. You’ll have $1,000 weeks and $200 weeks. You’ll average a $30,000 year. After you know how it rolls, get your own van, that doubles. So, you can see how they are stressing...

    No bills or obligations, simple life style. Expediting financially viable?

    I’d also like to throw this in there. Sometimes we all have to eat cheap. It happens. But this business is notorious for bad health, so eating cheap doesn’t mean that you’re saving money, it means that you’re going to pay for it later. So, little things I do is buy a bag of apples or whatever...

    No bills or obligations, simple life style. Expediting financially viable?

    Yea, you could make it. You’ll need an account to have money direct deposited. I think the first time I went out, simply as a driver, not a owner/operator, I had $500. Those first 2 weeks are nerve wrecking, because you need money to come in, and as soon as I left the classes I got one load in...

    The Trump Card...

    These numbers are in a direct comparison to 1 President. George W Bush, The President that lead us into the Great Recession. Yes, Obama was a better President than GWBush, BUT not by much. Trump is in a different league altogether.

    The Trump Card...

    The biggest problem with this vision of Obama is he followed GWBush. I could have followed GWBush and turned the economy around by doing nothing. GWBush set up the Bailouts, and Obama did exactly what Bush set up. The end. Saying Obama had an improving economy, from what? GWBush? He didn’t...
