Yeah, I attained some of my goals, and fell short of some. Ya win some, ya lose some. I got the shelves done, which was a big one. :) Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

I just use an old 2" winch strap, with a flat hook on one end, that I stole off my brother's flatbed. Cheap. Works. It's a little worn and frayed, but not bad, but bad enough that he wouldn't use it to secure freight with. Works fine for what I need. It would be better if the flat hook was a...

It either means 6' of cargo space, or a 6' bed in that sleeper. On '06 and earlier Sprinter, there is 165.9" between the back of the seats and the inside read doors. If it's a 6' bed, 72 inches, plus half an inch for the bulkhead, that leaves just 93.4" for cargo. That's enough for a couple of...

Greg, no, they aren't wrong, and you didn't mis-read the book. More likely, I didn't word what I was trying to say properly. Thinning diesel with gasoline is one thing, but putting pure gasoline into your diesel engine is quite another. When you thin D2 for cold weather operations, you can do...

Leo, don't kid yourself about all those possible scenarios as to why a straight truck gets a "van load" instead of a van. Sure, absolutely, those possibilities, and many others, happen. But, when push comes to shove, a carrier will let a van sit rather than let a straight truck sit. They have...

Diesel fuel is refined from crude oil. During the refining process, different hydrocarbon compounds are distilled from the crude. On one end of the spectrum is the barely-there light gases such as methane and propane, and at the other end is the thick, gooey fun stuff like heavy tar and asphalt...

"If Companies values Strt Trucks more than Vans.... Why on earth are there 69 StRT Trucks for Sale for the Month of November ????" You kind of answered your own question. Because there are 69 straight trucks for sale is the very reason companies value them so highly. For a carrier, straight...

Prices spiked initially, but they've already fallen back down. There are four pipelines that carry heavy Canadian crude from the Enbridge, Inc.' Clearbrook, MN hub. Only one of the lines was damaged. They expect to have it repaired and all 4 lines back up and running within the next few days. In...

RE: Drain plug ruined threads in oil pan,need new Fumoto Drain Valve Extra drain plugs? Replacing oil pans? For about $25 you can pretty much eliminate even the possibility of stripped threads and rounded heads. http://www.fumotousa.com/ http://www.quickoildrainvalve.com/ I got mine here...

"A lot of you guys on here are bashing someone interested in getting into Expediting with a van or Sprinter .... Positive comments help people new not trashing !!" Giving someone blunt, brutally honest advice is not the same as bashing. It's far better to let someone new know exactly what they...

If you separate out different forums for different vehicles types, newbies who come here looking for information may very well come here predisposed to a certain type of vehicle, say, a van, and may therefor ignore the forums that deal with straight trucks. They end up missing out on straight...

Unethical? Seems to me that you need to step back and take a look at what this business is, and accept it for what it is, rather than try and make it into what you wish it to be. The five-day work week didn't even exist until about 100 years ago. In some parts of the world the weekend is...

It's a rip off. Basically, you pay them for all their hard work (a.k.a. Google) in scoping out free Internet radio stations and video streaming Web sites. Then you download their proprietary software (a.k.a. an HTML page) that indexes and allows you to watch and listen. http://wwitv.com/ Same...

I download a lot of large files. There are 7 or 8 TV shows that I download weekly, and I'll grab a movie or two per week. Most of the TV shows are in the 350-600 MB range, and the movies are generally in the 1.2 gig range. I'll download a log of MP3's, as well, that range from 8mb to 30mb each...

I don't have big stacks, bull nuts ,train horns, chrome sitting ladies or any of that other shiny stuff. You should see my penis. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

I delivered a load in Ajax, ON on Wednesday, then later that day got a load out of Ajax for Thanksgiving Day delivery to Lebanon, KY. Ended up sitting all weekend, but got a Monday 0400 load from Morehead, KY down to Jackson, MS. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop
