    Sea Foam, yes or no?

    I have a new 2018 Promaster. It was suggested I start using Sea Foam occasionally, because Promasters get injector troubles down the line. Is this true?

    In Persuit Of The PERFECT Van Bed Set Up

    The only reason, now, that I would want a bed frame, is for a permanent place for an extra battery. Otherwise, I’m pretty relaxed with the bed on the floor.

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    A week. I hate leaving the east. Every time I go far west I expect to sit.

    Cargo Van Hometime

    As the others said, that schedule wouldn’t work unless you lived in the heart of freight distribution. The need to be home and expedite does not mix.

    In Persuit Of The PERFECT Van Bed Set Up

    Short story, my “perfect bed” is a bust. Long story, the frame came together, but the mounting piece would be 2 2x4s bolted down with an L frame. While it was more than strong enough to hold up the frame, the length being 32” tall, gave it way too much ‘wiggle’ at the top. So, as I mounted...

    Should we ban cycling?

    Oh, I missed that. Statistics can be used to say anything, even though they are factually true. Forbes drove this point home in a funny way in 2012, showing how Global Warming directly harmonized with the number of pirates in the world. It’s how people now use fake logic, what we call “fake...

    Midterm Election 2018

    I’m pro economy. I think Clinton was better than Bush Sr. for our economy. I think Obama was better than Bush Jr. for our economy. Got to give it to Trump, he’s the best of them all. If the last 5 Presidents we’re single days at work as a solo van Expediter. Bush Jr. - Got in a fight, got...

    Public shaming.... view from a liberal

    Public Shaming at it’s worst. The hard part about bigotry is no one thinks they’re a bigot, even though they’re aware they’re doing something bigoted. The Denver bakery should have made the gay couple their wedding cake. The Red Hen should have served Sanders and company.

    Should we ban cycling?

    I never thought I would be a bicycle person, but I bought a mountain bike on a impulse with a cousin, and I forgot how much fun they were, and convenient. In California, I had a bike with an all aluminum frame, and disc brakes. It was phenomenal. Had it lit up all legal, and bar to carry a bag...

    Planet fitness or Anytime fitness better for expediting?

    Same thing here. I don’t think hot shot flat bed is bad in itself, but the headaches it gave wasn’t translating into my paycheck. I just signed on with Planet Fitness, got my black card. Guy was really professional and articulate showing me the place, and it’s quite an impressive set up. If all...

    The Best And Worst States For Outbound Frayt

    Delaware is kind of a false flag, because some places in Delaware are 5 minuets from Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. While a lot more freight moves in than out, it’s still not a bad place to be.

    Mail Forwarding Services

    Negative to all. Many people own lots simply to fish the lake, closed community. I used to watch the simple solar homesteader on YouTube a lot. I always enjoyed the tiny houses, and way they get off the grid. It’s an out there property like that. I’m not trying to force people to buy property...

    Best eats?

    Missouri isn’t really a “food” state. That said, this is no 5 star restaurant by any means, but if you’re in the area, and you want something that’s not a chain restaurant, then I’d suggest: Mel’s Country Cafe 2421 Industrial Drive Jefferson City, MO 65109

    Mail Forwarding Services

    That is a risk to owning property. Still, I bought a 100x100 lot at a lake area simply to fish there. The lot on back taxes cost $210. Yearly taxes are less than $20/year. Not talking about buying a $100k House here.

    I just completed the assembly of the frame. Still putting coats of minwax on the floor. Full assembly should be just around the corner.

    Mail Forwarding Services

    My 2 cents. When you live out on the road, you truly don’t have a “home” so to speak, Still, instead of just putting money in mail forwarding services, and what not, actually buy some property somewhere. Going to the court house and finding really cheap property on back taxes is one great...

    In Persuit Of The PERFECT Van Bed Set Up

    I’ve been doing final assembly on the bed and polyurethane the floor, so I haven’t quite got it ready for the test runs. That said, the loose estimate is the frame will be 33” up off the floor. I have seen something similar to what you are saying, I think. Guy had 4 corners of a bed frame...
