When I installed my tires at costco , nitrogen was part of the deal. They'll top it off for free anytime I need to add more. My last set of tires lasted 201,000 miles. I replaced them because of wear not some kind of internal damage. I mostly like the fact that the pressure stays more...

And whether the co-driver is in the sleeper berth, and the call isn't work related. eb

The one I'm sittin' in right now. eb

How is the wall held in place? eb

I third the motion. CIS has a very good balance between cost, and service, and they are an outfit that knows the business we're in. If you need to find them, they are an advertiser on this site, so they shouldn't be hard to find. eb

In my signature line, I've included information that I would find useful if this was my question. Hope it helps. One point on driving for an owner to try out the industry. I agree with that except when it comes to starting out in a van. I say, sell your personal vehicle, buy a used van and...

Sounds like the concept that makes a perpetual motion machine work. eb

What a way to have a weekend fall into place. Some time with family and friends. A nice light drizzling rain making for a perfect day to wash the van, and then a call from dispatch with a Sunday load. From a low freight area to a good freight area, so come Monday, I'll be back in the freight...

When my sprinter was new both front parking lights went out at the same time. eb

Happy Thanksgiving. Looks like I'll only be as close as St Louis, but I truly appreciate the invitation. Thank you. eb

Back in service. I had planned on staying out through the holiday week, but my fan clutch went into failure mode. Instead of risking it, I decided to have the shop fix it and take care of the next batch of preventive work. All the work was finished just in time for the holiday part of the...

I knew there was something else. Anyone have to get an external transponder? My windshield has the metalic filter (high band filter?). Some say it might interfere with an interior transponder (it certainly messes up my compass). Or can I just hold the transponder outside the window when I...

I'm a holiday hauler. It's the best time to haul freight. eb

For cargo vans/sprinters, is there a preferred transponder you use for navigating the toll roads? I'm asking here, because we tend to cover the same territory. Last time I was shopping around for a transponder, I think it was Pennsylania that wouldn't let out of state people order their...

I saw one in a restaurant. It was pretty much wall to wall. eb

The Enemy's comments were the same that went through my mind when I first read this. I know what Lawrence went through to get us added to the program and the tweeking he went through after the program was initiated. But I still don't use the program, because it doesn't fit into how I operate...

TravelCenters of America Headquarters 24601 Center Ridge Rd. Suite 200 Westlake, OH 44145-5639 This is the place to park when in the Cleveland area. Sort of an "occupy" kind of thing. Right now there are 25 vans within 25 miles of Westlake. eb

Actually, it's not hard to get to the inside wheels either. The blocks are easy to work around. But then again I lay on the ground to chain the wheels, and a lot of people don't like to do that. eb

I don't know if this applies in this particular case, since I know some load times really are "appointments", but... now-a-days when they say I'm too early, I tell them my time is a deliver-no-later-than time. I don't call it a protect time, because most people don't know what that means...

There is still a proper way of resolving conflict, and most of it is conducted in private. Go through internal channels first. Save going public for last after the proper channels have had a chance to do what they do. There is no problem with talking about problems in public which is where we...
