    It's that slow or what?

    I never checked for an Opel in states, but I tried to find a Renault Clio... the only place where I actually saw one was in Harlingen... registered in Mexico :(

    Diesel Sprinters in 2013

    While in Europe, I was talking to a Sprinter owner. They haul up to 2000 kg (that's about 4400 lbs), the European models are lighter than American ones, maybe that's why they can put more weight, but Ford Transit is more popular, resistant and way cheaper than Sprinters.

    Congrats, Monty! I see you have quite a driving story, maybe you'll write a book when you'll retire... BTW, I've been behind the wheel only from '81...

    Hauling Hazmat in CVs and Sprinters???

    It became uncomfortable since I had two barrels of some corrosive stuff in my van. I must mention that the barrels weren't placed on pallets, but directly into my van. All the way from Detroit to KC.

    Hauling Hazmat in CVs and Sprinters???

    I ceased doing that long, long time ago. As a matter of fact, to make sure they don't force me to take any HM load, I dropped the HM endorsement.

    "LATE" delivery?

    I drove a White GMC when I was in trucking school... no power steering either.

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    From Laredo I usually get runs to MI or OH. Sometimes they're shorter, it either MO or AL. But in 5 days I can have 2 long runs and believe me, I had many times 2 long runs in a five days range. For $.50 I won't even turn the engine on!

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    I don't know, maybe it is a good area now... last time when I went down there, and that was about three months ago, it took me 5 days til they got me a load...

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    Bolt claims that they pay at least 85 cents... that's what the recruiter told me about two months ago...

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    Would ya rather wait a whole week or maybe more instead of leaving same day and going to a better area? Well, now it depends how much you are paid now, but for my $.85 it's not a huge difference.

    It's that slow or what?

    Funny thing... I had an Opel Vectra back in 05. I bought it when I went to Germany, used it for my vacation then sold it before coming back... better than renting :D
