I'd have to agree with blizzard 2014 AND BigStickJr. Never had a claim in 9 years of shlepping turbine blades, and I don't know what would have caused a loss (other than a vehicle burning to the ground) I've had up to $2 million dollars worth of them in an E350, fortunately my carrier covered...

And when they get really desperate - anybody. I still have 2 Landstar BOL from being with a brand new company on Sylectus; memory is foggy, but I think it was approved by Landstar to be brokered out by their partner carrier, one of those glorious runs where I'm not keeping 1 carrier updated...

-55 degrees in Chicago with wind chill. Was that a typo? If not, I've got nothing to complain about -48 in Ottawa was the coldest I ever experienced Edit: not a typo Chicago sets its train tracks on fire when it's this cold - CNN

I agree. Spending that money, I had a few bad ones (rushed techs). Surprisingly the string alignment, favored by many racing teams, is just as accurate (done correctly). Toe only, camber / caster I have a manual tool thats only valid on a properly leveled shop floor That's why I was hoping you...

Nice! Did you by chance get a look at the alignment machine / tools they used? I had issues even getting my E350 done in Ohio, at least at the local shops ($90 for those that could) I've been doing my own string alignments for the last several years, not on the sprinter yet tho. That'd be a...

Buying a 12 v fridge such as a Dometic makes this easy. I'm 5'11" and 260, that's a good 25 lbs lighter than the little ceasars deep dish / pilot pizza days. How hard is it to find a walmart lol. Dometic keeps the salads edible, or whole chickens. Toss the dressing out the window Dometic fits...

I think the pay scale has as much to do with it as the individual. Why pay per mile? Against a clock, just encourages cheating. You can say I get paid per mile, but it's just a way of measuring. My run, my time, my choice how to complete. 12 hours or 36, it's under my control, and my carrier...

Still one run this month. Lots of time to reflect. Like how I wanted 5 kids :JC-hysterical: Ended up with 4 girls and it's a madhouse (Pro tip: try 1 first)

I think it was Weather Route Free for Android - very useful for snowbelt

Good to know. Never been there - all I know the internet has told me...

Anything I have said about Sylectus is from the perspective of a Canadian doing cross-border freight only, for a brand new company, and has nothing to do with the experience an American driver may have with the platform. It should not be construed as an accurate representation of what any other...

Not exclusively I suppose. From the perspective that this thread is from; single drivers with new businesses sharing a membership; wouldn't you agree they'd do better with a good carrier than what they could get on Sylectus with a fresh mc# and few trucks? Perhaps I should have said "people...

They take the order, then broker it out. Then that company takes the order, then they broker it out. Then that company takes the order...

Report: darn near useless in a Sprinter (Olympian wave 3) but more heat than nothing I'd insulate, but on a 2005 I'm almost too fat already to walk around the skids and strap them down

-16, broke out the old propane catalytic Chestnuts roasting by an open fire (or just nuts)

And unless you were already here, why would you want to :D our population is one tenth the usa, so are the loads
