No just Abby Normal.

Re-reading the OP the 80 psi for the rears points to a 2500 or 3500. Return the tires.

He's got a 2008 Chevrolet Express. No mention if it is a 1500, 2500 or 3500. Three different vehicles with 3 different GVWRs. The tire dude may have installed the proper tires for his van. Not enough info to lay the blame on the tire installer.

No secret to those of us that own a Transit with the 3.5 and do our own oil changes. https://www.fordtransitusaforum.com/ford-transit-service/19426-worst-oil-change-ever.html

You could still do the Expo alone, leaving your wife and 40 pound 3 year old behind. ;) You could meet other expediters, connect with recruiters from various carriers, check out equipment and gather good info to bring home to your wife.

Changing oil/filter in the Ford Transit with the 3.5 EcoBlaster is a major PIA and also very messy. No matter how careful one is when removing the oil filter, oil ends up on the turbo plumbing, crossmembers, floor and anything else within 10 feet. Today, oil change #29, I finally did it free...

I think it's a logical first choice, especially for a same household team with past careers. Straight truck, automatic transmission, power steering large sleeper etc.

I agree!

Thanks, but don't follow too close. I do my own thing that works best for me. We all have different goals and aspirations which makes expedite trucking appeal to a variety of people. Like Big Stick said in another thread: "Exactly the reason to expedite". .

The cargo van market is over saturated but basing it on van count by driving by a truck stop is a common mistake. Vans are parked out front and usually grouped together, especially at the Detroiter where they are all parked in a nice straight row. I agree with Road Time that 13 vans is pretty...

I never closed out the maintenance costs for my 2004 Chevy. I sold it with 820,000 miles and my last maintenance cost update was at 792,000 with a .033/mile.

Cows eat corn and other plants. Cows are herbivores. Kinda like being a vegan but without the attitude!

I deadheaded home Tuesday afternoon from Chicago. I wanted to be home for the 4th and we have a wedding tomorrow afternoon. I do what I do and it works for me. As the price of fuel rises I do rethink the deadhead.
