Dispatch called the shipper to confirm the pallets were 48x40, 4-ways that could be turned. It all worked out rather nice.

3 pallet night. I've got three 4-way pallets turned sideways, taking up 120 inches, right up to my bed. 120 inches is exactly the floor length I allot my carrier. Dispatch assured me the pallets could be turned and would fit and they were right! I got a bonus on the load that equated to an...

It's too bad there aren't a couple of more VP debates.

I missed the debate. Is it worth digging up and watching?

I haven't hauled a choo-choo train load in a long time. I believe most were deliver direct, leaving the van open for sleeping like that guy we saw with the Connect. If Nytmare's carrier is cool with the mini van thing and most loads deliver direct, a Ford Connect might be a good vehicle for...

Was the frontend shake and vibration there before the stretch job?

Xiggi and I ran into a guy running a Ford Connect. He was leased to a carrier that mainly hauled railroad stuff. The connect seemed to work for him.

I thought that money came from foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

New taxes will be enacted once this program has amassed a huge debt. Like any other government handout, get the people hooked and the program won't stand a chance of being eliminated.

I have a gasoline fired Espar and I'm still alive. I do have an 02/smoke detector mounted over my bed.

Only you can decide if it is a good deal. Was roughly .50/mile a good deal for you? You said he wants to cut the pay to 20%. Is that 20% of the current roughly .50/mile or 20% of the gross receipts for the load. If it is 20% of the gross, will you be able to verify what the gross is?

Mileage and age are certainly important criteria when buying a used vehicle. Reading the odometer will show how many miles the vehicle has but not how these miles were accumulated or by who. If the Sprinter in question was driven by a little old expediter then 124,000 miles is nothing. If it...

I'm an old or kinda old driver. Call some companies and ask about rate per mile, fuel surcharge, deadhead rate, Qaulcomm fees etc. Do not ask about weekly miles or weekly gross pay. Whatever they tell you will vary greatly from your actual weekly miles and gross pay. Nobody here can give you...

You need glasses!

I drive a Ford Transit leased to Panther. I started out with Panther making .80/mile and worked my way down to .77/mile.

I know a guy that bought a 2004 Chevy gasser with 820,000 miles on it. He didn't get a mechanics thumbs up but the screwball that sold it to him had decent maintenance records.

I haven't had any moisture problems with the Espar. With the Buddy heater I would open a window or roof vent a crack.
