Con-Way Now had Highway Master in their company vans when they started up. Very basic and crude. If Highway Master is still available it my be a good tool for the original poster.

I prefer to keep my food in the truck. Seems like a lot of work tarping and untarping just to eat.

Tuesday afternoon I accepted an 813 mile load with 120 miles paid deadhead. The actual deadhead was 148 miles. I burned 3 hours driving and loading, leaving me with 13 hours to drive the 813 miles. That's an average of 62.5 mph. Unacceptable to the safety department and there wasn't enough...

As you pointed out there isn't much difference. But you are only looking at driving in top gear. Hills, wind, weight etc will cause downshifting. What's the difference between 5th and 4th on the 5 speed compared to 4th and 3rd on the 4 speed? My personal belief is for a cube van like the...

He would still have a 5 speed but this should help fuel mileage.

A little Bondo and...

I think Scott meant the drivetrain in the Ford you mentioned isn't set up for highway use, but who am I to interpret for two Canadians speaking in their mother tongue?

Ouch!

Oops!

No I was referring to the Unicell CW on a GM 3500 or Ford F 350 chassis. One way to eliminate big payments is to put make a large down payment. Another way to eliminate big payments, completely eliminate them, is to pay cash. The best way to afford a large down payment or a full cash purchase...

And well it should. I thought 4.10 rearend was the lowest gear ratio in these and the 4.10 is scary when mated with a 4 speed OD. If you have the money a Unicell CW with a 6 speed could get an average of 17 mpg on the highway if driven with a modicum of restraint.

Ooh, roof top AC for my Transit next year if Bernie wins!

A great addition to your Classic Movie Saturday disaster line up would be: "South Side With You". Unfortunately it hasn't been released yet.

These numbers are total miles run divided by total gallons used. I'm not going to try and figure fuel used by the Espar so yeah, without an Espar my mpg would be slightly better. I don't pay much attention to my computer mpg except while driving to give me a snapshot of my performance. I do...

Unfortunately my f.s.c. is down to .07/mile!

The following are mileage stats for my Ford Transit 350, high roof, extended length, 3.5 EcoBlaster, 3.31 rears for October, November, December 2015 and January 2016: Miles 23,339 Gallons 1,357.8 m.p.g. 17.2 p.p.g. $1.93 Espar B4 installed in November.

I watched the video. She had a bit part in a very short ad and I didn't even see her boobins. Ted Cruz's 'Conservatives Anonymous' ad stars a softcore porn actress!

Yeah, for truck load carriers.

Not nearly as silly as sitting in Atlanta for a week and a half then deadheading to Nashville where there are just as many cargo vans, only to sit for a few more days.
