It depends on what you're (they're) doing out here. Some expediters have sold their homes and live nearly full time in their truck. Others have scaled back their housing expenses dramatically, be it moving into a smaller place, or whatever. I don't have a house payment anymore, nor the...

Bobtail insurance is for when you're not loaded, same as a bobtail without a trailer.

Not to worry, I never get offended by anything online, and I didn't take this personally at all. "...and everybody out there has heard from both of us and have some more info with which to make a decision on what will work best for them and that is all I am after." Me too (c) AOL (someone...

If you didn't text STOP as a reply, you will notice a $2.00 charge coming out of your next settlement (Owner's Web page, Driver open deductions/credits). I already pay $1820 per year for my Qualcomm. Add SMS text messaging for an additional (nominal) $104 per year? No thanks, I'll pass.

I wonder how a multi-tasking, dedicated border crossing, paper handling, dispatcher could have helped? Hard to say. If they have the same high level of competence as the person in charge of database changes, I have my doubts. hehe However, the person who actually made the changes, despite it...

A word of warning for ViaSafe and loads coming into the US: If you renew your plate registration and are issued a new license plate, make absolutely 100% stone cold sure that ViaSafe has your new plate in their system before you even accept a load out of Canada. Putting your new plate on the...

If you're against a Sprinter in the first place, you'll find a plethora of reasons not to get one. The reverse is also true. I had twp E-350's and specifically did not want another one, for my own reasons. The oft published problems with the Sprinter, all things considered, are very few and...

I was swapping out my fuel filter every 10,000 as recommended, but they kept coming out looking pristine, so I've switched to every 20,000. I do use Howes Power Cleaner in every tank, and Howes Diesel Treat in at least every other tank, which may or may or have anything to do with anything. But...

I had a really good experience at Freedom Dodge with an oil change. I supplied my own oil, however. hehe They have probably the lowest price of over-the-counter filters of any dealer I know of. I bought several of them there for $9.50 a while back. My local Dodge dealer (Parkway Chrysler off...

Not many specs on the generator there at all. Fuel consumption, amp output, weight, etc. Will have to look into it, though, and see if they will break it down without their rooftop A/C-heater unit, too.

Excellent info. Thanks! I've been swaying back and forth on getting one. Now I know. :)

I'm gonna switch to Linux as soon as they get it finished. :+

Or, simply get an EZ Pass or I-Pass transponder and be done with it.

Crap? Seriously? Thoughtless? Did no one see the little clown face next to the crap? :+ <---- that one? http://members.aol.com/dcreelma/imagesite/animated/otherstuff/dancin1.gif

If it weren't for the HoS and logging restrictions, I'd be in a straight truck, even with the downsides of not being able to go where I want, park where I want. I once had a load that took me to Flagstaff, AZ. I took myself out of service for a few days and took the van to the Grand Canyon...

There have been a glut of vans in the industry ever since the second van came into service. The impending demise of vans in the industry goes back to about three days after that date. I doubt that any driver, owner/operator or fleet owner could come up with any kind of accurate figures of the...

arkjarhead: The rules haven't really changed, but there are a few exceptions to them, agri-chemicals being one of the exceptions. Several types of consumer-packaged products that would otherwise be classified as HAZMAT are also an exception (depending on the amounts carried, and in some cases...
