    Dallas, TX. Ice. They say the highways are slow with patches of ice, but I can't get to the interstate due to solid iced side roads. Late Wednesday afternoon. eb

    Two oil changes in a wee over three weeks. Been too busy to chat. Delivered in Laredo. Load out in the A.M. For a change it's nice to watch all the colorful patterns on the weather map in locations that are not where I am. eb

    Alittle help getting started.

    Most of your questions are answered in the links my signature line. My quick response is that it is tough to share the little profit between an owner and a driver. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/45780-thinking-buying-couple-sprinters-what-do-yall-think.html...

    kindle or nook or...ipad?

    Books burn better, too. Story out of the UK late last year about people buying old books to burn for heat. The favorite was supposed to be old encyclopedias, because one volume would burn all night. eb

    Funny (not your situation), on reading the title of the thread I automatically assumed it was a NCV3 sprinter van thread. eb

    Tires for a Sprinter 2500

    I used to complain about the horrible wear of the Continentals, but considering the miles that regular sprinter owners put on their vehicles, they'll dry rot before they wear them out. eb

    From time to time in the Bolt Express carriers forum, I post a snap shot of my real world numbers. It can give you an idea how the real numbers come in compared to the rules of thumbs and averages. eb

    Interstate 70 from MM 205 to 175 Both Directions Closed in MO

    Yep. I was stranded at I-44, exit 230 in MO. I was lucky to be at the exit when I saw all kind of vehicles sliding ahead of me. Rolled up the off ramp and parked it for the night in a gas station parking lot where I got stuck on flat pavement. Had a real good view of everyone else lining up...

They put up a board as a place for graffiti for those who feel obliged to leave their mark, so the graffiti "artist" either engraves their message in the board or post their mark next to the board. Who dares tell an "artist" where they can leave their...

    Washing our truck?

    We weren't allowed to use simple green on aircraft because it is corrosive. It gets into places and can't be rinsed out. It is hard on hydraulic and pneumatic seals. eb
