Depends on what type of fuel the vehicle is running. I am having this dilemma right now. Probably am going to install an aux. tank underneath van and tie into my 2.8 Onan since my main tank is diesel and gen is gas.

Here's a thought. Get your cdl A through a driving school. After school or during they usually will bring in trucking companies that are looking for drivers. When you find the right one they will hire you on and pay for your schooling but here is the kicker, usually you have stay on with them...

Try using a fuel with a cleaning agent in it such as BP or Chevron gas for a while to see if that cleans it up any or keeps it cleaner. Just my two cents.

I dont use mine anymore. I can find fuel for sometimes 30 to 40 cents a gallon cheaper and it is not bio diesel.

Had many fond memories of going to Bob-Lo island when i was just a lad.

OEM recommended oil changes are at 20k. I did the first 2 at that recommended mileage but am a little gunshy about running that many miles before oil change. Will change to 15k oil changes from now on. My 2012 Sprinter oil change recommendation was 10k and thats where I pretty much kept to...

I still see a few of his trucks out there from time to time.

So far I’ve only had to do 2 oil changes and filter changes (air, cabin and fuel filters). About $250 for about 48,000 mi.

The only thing that keeps going up is the FSC.

They wii probably give you cash if its under a certain amount.

I don’t deal with brokers, so i don’t the answer to that question. Maybe somebody will come upwith the answer. I do know that its not easy to make tons of money off the load boards.

Of couse things may have changed since it was 2002 when i signed on with Landstar.

When i was with Landstar this rule applied. If im not mistaken my carrier (Load 1) has the same rule.

Most companies will allow 1 over 15 mph in the last 3 yrs. but thats it. Dont get anymore or you’ll be a goner. No place for speeding in this business. There is plenty of time to make that delivery. If you work for someone who is not realistic and wants you to speed then its time to find a...

Talked with a Bolt driver last night and asked him your question. He said that you need DOT med. card.

See if you can get the vin number of the vehicle and take it to a dealer and have them tell you what was serviced at the dealer.

Just ran my numbers for the first six months and just shy of $60k. Not too bad for a part timer.
