    how many miles in a day?

    You can say it and you can type it. But you would be wrong. Clue #1: The company name is at odds with its practice.

    The Trump Card...

    Donald, please contact Swervpro immediately! You can't undo this mess on your own. Bill and Hillary use Swervpro all the time. That's how they got where they are today. .

    how many miles in a day?

    At Panther van drivers are required to take a 5 hour break after 16 hours on duty. This is a company policy and not a DOT regulation. Your 16 hour clock starts once you move. Most loads are booked at 47 mph. Panther will either build in a 5 hour break into the transit time or swap the load...

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    All modern freight and Amtrak locomotives are driven by electric motors but the environmentalist don't like it.

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    Exactly! The proposed banning of internal combustion engines is a knee jerk reaction to a previous knee jerk reaction of promoting diesel engines with a tax break. It does, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in this thread that magic is involved before it reaches the wall socket. I also...

    That fly was a Russian drone sent in by Putin at the request of Trump.

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    Zero emission vehicles don't run on electricity. Zero emission vehicles are powered by magic and magic is forever.

    Germany bans the internal combustion engine

    Another knee jerk reaction to a knee jerk reaction. If they are really serious about the environment then only metals mined by equipment using non-internal combustion engines, zero emissions metal processing and zero emissions electricity could be used in the manufacture of cars and batteries...

    Care to name the company? I know of one expedite company out of Louisville. It sure would be ironic if that's the company you've been dealing with because their name is at odds with what you have described.

    Ford Transit question.

    On my Transit the door opening is 71" from the plastic factory door sill to the latch. Those door latches are most likely installed for a reason. I would not remove them permanently. Occasionally I would need to remove the latch on my Chevy to load freight. I would either replace it once...

    Buying a sprinter van, 2500 vs 3500?

    I bought an Oregon Aero with the zip on lumbar back about 10 years ago. Over time the cushion became compressed and hard. When I bought my Transit I unzipped the lumbar thing because my Transit has a 10-way power seat with lumbar support, aaahhh. About a year ago I found a $25 dollar seat...

    Not sure this was even noticed?

    It would be even worse for tax accountants.

    Boo ... its October

    True, but this time I was dealing with an ABF dispatcher and an ABF customer, who was the consignee.

    Not sure this was even noticed?

    As long as it is legal it shouldn't be an issue. We're not talking about Barney Frank here. As an independent contractor I take advantage of every legal tax break I'm qualified to use. Not to do so would be foolish.

    Vans... Gas vs Diesel?

    I'm on my third gasser. Gas Pros: Initial cost (new) for a van with a gas engine is at least $4,000 less than a diesel. Pump price of gasoline is generally less. No DEF and other failed emission junk. Engine life about the same. Lighter weight. Cheaper to maintain. Easy cold start. No...
