    You should use your parking brake more often, especially when being loaded and unloaded by a forklift. This practice could save you from transmission problems later. I always set my parking brake and then put the transmission in Park. When driving off, I put the transmission in Drive and then...

    Weird, today I received another check representing the Phase III Distribution payment. This has been going on for several years now. I have yet to hear any more regarding the Transit lawsuit. .

    I don't know about the 2018s but the 2017s with the 3.5 built after the recall came with a u-joint. This permanent fix seems more like a cheap,temporary permanent fix. Ford has more pressing and expensive problems with the Fusion and Lincoln. I wonder why Ford dropped the tag lines: At...

    I had the new flex disc (giubo), permanent fix installed today. It isn't a U-joint but another rubber flex disc. It is a different design. I'm not sure how permanent, permanent is. The replacement includes shields that ostensibly protect other vital components from catastrophic failure...

    Dodge never made the Sprinter. The first several years the Sprinter sold in the U.S. was made in Germany and assembled in the U.S. and badged either Dodge or Freightliner.

    For me Chevrolet. My last Chevy van I sold with 820,000 miles, original engine and driveline to a friend. We're still friends. He sold it to a tradesperson with over 900,000 miles on the clock. That's great that you have 3 mechanics close by. Unfortunately most major mechanical failures...

    Do You Think You’ve Benefited From The ELD Mandate ?

    Maybe the OP picked up the load February 28th, 2016 but didn't reveal the year. He then delivered March 1st, gaining a day. Or maybe he crossed the International Date Line enroute or encountered a time warp.

    Question about promaster 2500 or 3500 with 12' length cargo area

    If you're going to get into cargo van expediting as an O/O, wait until you can afford a 3500 whatever and have money in reserve. You're not a newbie to expediting so think back when you drove for a fleet owner. Now think of that time as if you owned the van. Do it right. Don't enter this...

    Now Texas, another shooting- in a church

    The Minnesota legislature is currently working on a bill that would ban a driver's license for life for anyone convicted of 5 DUIs. 5 DUIs? WTF!

    Ya, hey you poutine scarfer. What dictionary did you look it up in. My Websters American English Dictionary has no entry for "felinocide". But what do I know? I suffer from felinophobia.

    Ownership has changed and the usual revolving door of dispatchers. None of that has changed. Its a cultural thing. Very difficult to change ingrained cultural behaviors short of felinocide. The game playing with pickup and delivery times has become more prevalent. The Golden Rule at...
