    Rev's Ride 1

    Looked at the Cargo Maxx. Nice workmanship. The body is very aerodynamic. But I stayed with Aerocell for two important reasons. Look at the GVWR for the Cargo Maxx: GVWR Options Single Rear Wheel 10,750 lbs (80" width) Dual Rear Wheel 12,300 lbs Dual Rear Wheel 14,200 lbs...

    Pep boys:Nightmare:Duncan ville TX(Dallas)

    All the more reason to install a Fumoto drain valve and buy a portable drain pan. Slide underneath on the filter side, flip the oil pan drain valve, crack the filter, wait a couple minutes, spin off old filter, wipe down filter contact area, install new filter, flip drain valve shut. Takes...

    If the signs say, "RV Parking Only"...well let your conscious be your guide. And that's all I can say bout' that.

    Regulating vans?

    Personally, I don't believe it will ever happen and if it does I don't believe DOT enforcement will focus on that class of vehicles. Why? I visited a church down in Georgia and happened to meet a DOT officer. Basically he indicated that they already had their hands full with straights and...

    Rev's Ride 1

    Danny, Truck is performing well. The new owner has had it in service for just over a year. That truck will be two years old in May. The new owner has made a couple of nice modifications. One being making the bunk flip against the bulkhead so as to provide room for a chair and a fold down...

    Own authority/broker a good idea?

    It seems to me that all industries have standards. You get get charged by the airlines for the baggage they have to handle. You pay a premium for overnight service. Make a mortgage payment by telephone and you incur an additional charge as opposed to using online banking. Other...

    Truck stop safety?

    If your in a van, stay up front in plain view of the gas pumps and the front of the store. Personally, as you are a lady I wouldn't suggest that you leave your bra on the dash. People can see into van easier because it sits much lower than a big truck and when people are aware that you are...

    Finally the NEW 2010 Sprinter...

    Greg, I contacted the plant manager at Wentzville. They were very helpful in tracking down the rail car, getting it off loaded and on to a truck. I was referring to the delivery date from the upfitter as the chassis has been delivered to them. Now I am awaiting their production cycle.

    Truck stop safety?

    Greg, If new folks go to those places you named, there won't be any drivers to replace those who are retiring or quitting. Oh, never mind...that means more load opportunities for those who are prepared to navigate the "War Zones".

    Finally the NEW 2010 Sprinter...

    Yeah! What Turtle, OVM and Rlent said. We buy what works best for us. This is America dontcha know? Land of the free... That means nobody forced you to buy, or not buy, any particular brand. Instead of bashing Sprinter owners your time would be better spent researching what you...

    Own authority/broker a good idea?

    Yes, sign on with a carrier. The paperwork is overwhelming for most O/O's. Moreover, you can't look for freight while you are sleeping or driving. Moreover, in this economy some carriers are waiting 45-60 days before they settle their accounts payable.

    Ford E350 Unicell Sleeper

    Cruise is easy. Any after market supplier/installer that does sunroofs, spoilers, leather seats, etc. usually has cruise kits. I was a sales mgr for an Auto Network for a few years and our supplier did an excellent job. I can't remember ever having a problem with their installs.

    Finally the NEW 2010 Sprinter...

    Blizzard, It even gets better. A single rear wheel with ... .... capacity and a light weight body that might allow for a true 3000 lb cargo capacity. I call it my "Green" machine. It's a prototype so the data will come after its trial run. Don't want to be accused of CB...
