    Hampton roads snow storm coming

    Thursday morning I ran a load from Indy to Huntsville. There was light snow on I-65 from Indy to just south of Louisville. Several accidents on both north and southbound sides. Most at or just beyond bridges. All 4 wheelers except one. This was one was a bit weird. There was a recumbent...

    Fuel Stats 2015 Transit

    Average freeway cruising speed 65 mph. 2 lane highways 60. My odometer shows 8% less than the actual miles. For every 100 miles I log on the odometer I traveled 108 miles. Also at 60 mph on the speedometer my actual speed is 65 mph. At the end of each trip I add up fuel costs, gallons, and...

    Sprinter Van Freight

    A better question would be what type of van is best suited for expediting.

    6700 lbs. includes insulation, finished interior, E-track, house battery etc. So a cuber on a GM chassis isn't much heavier than my Transit. I don't remember exactly what my Chevy weighed new but finished out it was about 7,000lbs. Yes, I know your name is John, Scott. What I meant was I knew...

    Classic Movie Saturday

    Most likely not a classic but a very funny movie anyway. It could become a classic in the future when the baggage boy in the movie, who later became a U.S. Senator, becomes the President of The United States.

    I guess... I can't speak for the Promaster, but the Transit compared to a long wheelbase GM, probably. Compared to your former GM, my Transit has two less cylinders, smaller gas tank, shorter wheelbase, unibody vs. ladder frame, more overall sheet metal (but likely thinner), smaller size tires...

    So far you only owe me a half of one. You eliminated the T-350HD at 9950 GVWR but not the T-250 at 9000 GVWR. 500 lbs. doesn't seem like much, but it makes a difference when legally expediting for profit. A rule of thumb I use is figure on losing about 1000 lbs. of weight carrying capacity for...

    Here's a link to the Ford Transit website: Ford Transit USA Forum There are a lot of members that are into the stealth camping thing. There are also some expediters and most are also EO members. You mentioned looking for a minimum spec Transit. I would highly recommend the 10-way power...

    Allow me to straighten out your wobble. Don't buy 9000# GVWR. You want to be able to carry as much weight as legally possible and still have adequate creature comforts. The 9950# GVWR Transit has dual rear wheels. While it will carry more weight but not a whole lot more when you consider the...

    Fuel Stats 2015 Transit

    The EcoBlaster is a dilithium crystal fueled, twin warp drive, V-6 engine capable of time and spinal compression. Or it could be more along the lines of what Bill posted above.

    5 days to kill

    That must have been a long, long time ago; like before it was even built. Four or five years ago, while it was still under construction, their sign advertised $2100 weekly rate. That was probably for a 2 bedroom suite. I guess with more new rooms and apartments coupled with a down turn in the...

    Fuel Stats 2015 Transit

    The Trump Card...

    When it comes to narcissism, Hillary trumps Trump. The Donald's narcissism is of a more superficial and obvious kind, while Clinton's (Hillary and Bill) runs much deeper. Trump thinks he's the best to lead America. The Clintons, in their mind, KNOW they are the best to not only lead America...

    The Trump Card...

    Pence may very well come to be seen as the better alternative. But if Trump does do something worthy of impeachment, depending on what the offense is, Pence may be tainted by association. Al Gore had some default distance between himself and Clinton because there was no mention of a threesome...

    I Had A Dream

    There is a grocery warehouse in Kansas City, KS appropriately named Associated Wholesale Grocers. This facility is located off I-635 and Kansas Avenue. Years ago I attempted to deliver a load of peanut butter to AWG. Back then they were located off U.S. 69, just across the river from where...
