    The Simple Solar Life

    7 years ago when I set my van up I bought most everything at the R.V. surplus outlets in Elkhart, Indiana. . The $15.00 single speed exhaust fan still works perfectly with no problems. With the 4 cargo area windows open, it really pulls air through the van at a surprisingly high rate. Very...

    Many of those were either 10,000 gvw, or 12,300 gvw. I see quite a few of those with individual numbers like they sell at Walmart spelling out "under 10,000 gvw" on the bottom of the door. They make it so obviously suspicious....lol.. yes, I see some missing zeros on the door bottom. I think...

    Me being a former potato chip distributorship owner. I can confirm that that is an old Herr's potato chip route truck. The rear doors have obviously been altered, however. What blows me away is that someone would feel comfortable putting their freight on something like that, let alone hire that...

    No nerve touched of mine. It is what it is. Even though I have my limits on just how low I'll go. But being debt free enables me to run cheap and turn a profit, if I want to, but I prefer not to make that a way to make a living. However, Im on a load that pays less than what I desire, but...

    I deleted my Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger over a year ago. All 3 seemed too intrusive into my life where they dont need to be sticking their nose into. And I was addicted, spending too much time on there as well. I dont follow every move that you make. But you make it difficult for...

    Oh, exactly, as I use the same methods as well. My moving to better areas is minimal, however, a system that has worked very well for me. Triangulation, a term and philosophy that OVM and I have agreed on in the past years. I hate excessive relocation miles. I dont care how many deadhead miles...

    Vantastic Article On Cargo Van Owner Operators

    When I used to own my 10 wheeler the rates being offered were not too far from cargo van rates at that time. It was difficult to get used to, but I easily adapted to the van lifestyle, loving every bit of it, wishing I would've done the cargo van thing sooner. Sure, the loads dont pay as much...

    No April Fooling with Load 1

    I tried getting into the golf thing once. Decided it wasnt my thing, as I kept getting teed off. What do you call a rabbit with fleas? Bugs Bunny.

    Sure, I agree with you to a point. But what frosts my as* about those who choose to run cheaply is the catastrophic end result to this once lucrative industry by running cheap. By running cheap, the customers, companies, shippers, etc will expect us to run cheap more often. " well so and so...

    I couldnt of said it better myself. ANYONE can be kept moving non-stop when they run cheap paying loads. But add cheap paying loads on top of expensive primary insurance policy costs and that adds up to very little money for a whole lot of miles. And a prematurely wore out vehicle. Work...

    No April Fooling with Load 1

    Too many times I'd deadhead out of Chicago only to turn around and go back in to get a load. So, I fuel up, shower up, before going in and unloading. I find a spot to hang out since it usually doesn't take too long to get out of there. There is a newer Pilot in Chicago now too.
