Yes it is Bolt on the sleeper. Don Bentz is a hands on guy and I have pictures of him cutting the back out of the Cascadia when it was a day cab. Don also gave us a tour of the sleeper being built from the metal frame, through how the cabinets are installed, how the sleeper is insulated, how...

4-9-11 to 4-20-11 Unbelievable how fast EO Advertising works!!! This truck has sold! Thanks to everyone that called and Frank and India Hamner are thrilled. We wish them well with their new BR Unit!

Hey Moose is this the couple we met and who attended the Expo last year?

The OOIDA forum is only open to OOIDA members. If you use one of the members numbers you can join OOIDA for $25.00. I have posted on the forums and they are what they are. I would not join OOIDA for the forums but there are a whole lot of other reasons to join OODIA.

ignorance is bliss....

Thanks for all of the links to understanding spreadsheets. I have found that spreadsheets are an integral part of our business and I rely on them for information about out business as well as what is going on with our truck. I have one spreadsheet I use for our fuel mileage and when our MPG...

The Ultra One Card has coupons and you would need to print the coupon at the Kiosk. From what Pete told me there were several TA's that participated and that a fuel ticket from another TA will work. What do the local store managers need to know? The stores have not changed.

I talked to Pete district manager 50 gallons one night free 100 two nights free 150 three nights free. If you have bought fuel within three days at any TA you can use this fuel ticket for the appropriate parking with the amount of fuel that was purchased. If you have the Ultra One card you...

That book scared me to death when I realized when the book was written and where we are today. Have you read Fountain Head by Ayn Rand?

I often have to turn of the music, turn off the phones, and just enjoy what is happening outside of the windshield. I blogged about this phenomenon last year. I cannot imagine ever becoming immune to the beauty of the United States and the different seasons. A smile is in the air!

It is a vicious circle we do not buy anything in the stores and we get deep discounts on our fuel which leads to pay to park.

There would also have to be a switch to make the truck a non commercial vehicle. Maybe a switch to turn the truck in an RV toy hauler. Maybe a switch to cover up all the signs. I think with these switches it might be a viable option.

Yes I agree on the sticker. We had made plans on where to put a bed for Molly when we had the table up. She never liked to lie down on a floor unless she was really hot. This truck would have been a little rougher for her I am afraid. I never dreamed how hard it would be to walk to our...

I do not know what their profit is on fuel. I know that the discounts we get are large and many of the companies get these discounts. The independents pay the cash price and when talking to these guys they are pretty bitter about this. Somewhere the difference has to made up with many more...

i would like to learn more on spreadsheets and how to better track per diem and depreciation. I like spreadsheets and I track our actual expenses, but believe I could do more with the right knowledge. I would also like to learn more on return on investment (ROI) and to set up a spreadsheet...

We have just went through this process and did some shopping around. Our dealer, Stoops Freightliner uses various financial companies and we were able to get financing for the Cascadia. One surprise I had though was with OOIDA. They were advertising a great rate of 6% financing for second...

Hi Steve welcome to the forums. We were lucky enough to speak with you at the workshop in Knoxville. I believe you gave the most informative workshop I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I hope you are planning on holding a workshop at the Expo in Wilmington as well.

Maybe you should step back and think about this a little more. You BBQ all of the time in the parking lot right? But you go in and use their facilities, you take up a parking spot, invite others to your BBQ, and they have wear and tear on their parking lot and do not spend a dime in the their...

I asked some questions about this thread with the VP of the TA/Petro, who is in charge of Marketing as well as Public Relations, this is what I have heard back so far: We still only need to buy 50 gallons of fuel to stay free or $20 in the store per 24 hours. The rate did go up to $20.00 and...

I have seen the signs in other truck stops near the bathrooms advertising the weight rooms. With summer coming on I believe they will be used less as many would rather exercise outside. The rooms are often near the showers.
