    Expedite companies that lease on older vans?

    When there is an oversupply of vans it's easy for carriers to turn away older vehicles. They can choose to be picky when they get five or ten calls a day asking if they are putting on vans. It's the same old supply and demand we have talked about for years

    Sprinter preventive Maint.

    Not bad in the beginning but like stated it gets worse in the cold. The oil collects on the cross members under the engine and will drip off that to the ground. Usually a row of small drip spots maybe 3 or 4 towards the rear of the motor.

I had a friend who was basically hired, when he had to get a scale ticket proving 3000 lb legal capacity the hire was off. Me thinks the recruiter might believe sprinters...

    December freight & fun

    I'm confused by your leave them all connected statement. Don't you have a separator between the starter and auxiliary batteries? If not install one and always run your espar off auxiliary batteries. One lost load costs more than the correct solution.

    Obama Says -- Carrier JOBS Leaving for MEXICO - "They are not coming back"

    Not my writing but i thought it was a good explanation. For those of you who can't figure out the deal Trump made with Carrier, they get $7,000,000. In tax incentives over a 10 year period, that is $700,000 per year, now that seems like a lot but if you divide that by the population in Indiana...
