    Sprinter Q. & A. time again

    Rolling: You indicated you could buy a sprinter in the USA. Would you have to pay sales tax in the States and again in Canada? Would you also have to pay the equivalent GST to Canada for imported US goods? Just curious. Terry

    Oil drain plug

    I had one of these gadgets on a 92 Ford diesel. Worked great! One word of caution before ordering. Make sure a grease monkey hasn't retapped your drain hole due to stripped threads and installed a larger plug than the OEM

    Cell Phones and your Opinions

    I just "migrated' from Cingular (ATT) to Cingular (Cingular). They still have different rate plans and features, and they aren't interchangle between users. I like the fact that I can talk to any other Cingular phone, including Rene's, without impact on my paid minutes. I also like the...

    Registration for the Expo

    T-Hawk. Et. Al. Tickets or no tickets, you're welcome either way. There are no gates nor are there any gatekeepers. The pre-registration provides a means to gauge the anticipated attendance and helps to assure Lawrence and the sponsors of this Free-to-the Public event that the trucking...

    Did We Miss Sometning Here?

    Dave must have Mother's Day on his mind in refering to the $100 sticker as a bridge fee. I'm sure he meant to say the $100 U.S. Customs user fee that they collect from commercial vehicles entering the USA. Bridge tolls are additional.

    Per mile vs percentage

    Dave and I disagree on this issue 'cause I prefer the percentage method that FedEx Custom Critical utilizes. As the customers tariff increases, so does our share. We are not locked onto a fixed pay per mile no matter what the customer is charged. I don't disagree with Dave about the checking...

    Truckstop gouging

    When the VW's first appeared en masse in the USofA, their owners were constantly bragging about the great mileage from the little bugs. I had a new '65 VW so I was one of the braggers. There were stories then, of neighbors tireing of the mileage claims so they would take turns adding a pint...

    Was this a scam?

    I can't imagine what that was all about.. I never had to scale a military truck and never required T/T that reported to me in my last assignment to do so either. Mainly 'cause the military trucks are exempt from state regulations related to weight, size, etc. If he was involved in a...

    Tall Van Drivers

    Not to be a stickler for detail, but I believe it's 10,001# GVWR logs; 10,000 or less no log, unless carrying a reportable quantity of Hazmat. Terry

    Tall Van Drivers

    Check out a company called "The Mattress Factory". I've seen their name in several cities, but my experience was in Cleveland. We were in a hotel there on a Sunday and saw their ad in the paper, went there, ordered a pair of custom made, sized to fit our van, mattresses at about $85 each...

    Miles?

    Miko: I forget what I paid for the alternator, maybe 300 installed. the $400 fuel pump takes two hrs labor for a mechanic. 1/2 hour if you have precut a hole in the floor and you replace it yourself. If you've got the 1 ton and use it OTR, you should easily get a half million miles from it...
