The last time I talked to Kieth Bentz (Bentz Transport Products Ft.Wayne).He said there is an issue about putting AC units in a sleeper on the 4700. It seems when they spliced into the AC lines it caused the computer to go berzerk. Maybe they have found a way around this.At that time the only...

FECC used to get me up all the time to look for drivers who they could not contact before their delivery into the Ford plant at Lima Oh. I allways knew where they would be sleeping so it was a easy $50.00(They allways paid)

We were one of those trucks in downtown NO Wed.One of the FEMA people had been shot at a few hours earlier. Our second load into the area was aborted because of the violence. Part of our load was taken off (Med Supplies)and loaded onto military hellicopters. One of the Doctors we were working...

Leo you are oh so right! OOIDA is our only way of being heard. When the numbers are strong enough,our voice will mean something. Calling for a strike will do nothing. You could call for a shutdown on a certin day and you would be lucky to get more than a handful to go along.

A third battery will prob give you about 6 to 7 hours. It should be deep cycle, and gel type if located inside the van. Two batteries should be isolated away from your main starting battery. If you dont want to isolate I would recomend a battery alarm,by Volt Minder. It can be set to go off...

RE: Will outfitting a Sprinter hurt load oportunit As long as you maintain the same load capacity as the van had when you signed the lease,there should be no problem. Your company records this load capability,and will expect you to adhere to it. The only other thing to watch is any changes the...

We too threw away our "White Collars" 18 years ago.Never regretted it for a minute. To be in control of your own destiny is priceless. My daughter recently asked,Dad when are you going to retire? I replied.I thought I was retired. I ride around in my RV,get paid for doing so,and get to see this...
