    Why, why, why?

    I think it's because it takes a big rig to handle something as big as Expediters Online. OK, maybe a little. :D

    Safety Equipment

    I've got a pair of safety glasses that fit over my glasses. But I've also got a really cool pair of glasses/goggle that look like something Batman or Robin would wear.

    chevy cargo van heat

    Espar, hands down. It will pay for itself in just one winter for most people, and in a matter of a few weeks if you're not insulated and are idling. Insulate your van. The D2 will keep you warm and toasty in the most cavernous of Sprinters, BTW. RLENT has one, no bulkhead, stays warm, sleeps...

I knew it would be a few days for me, so I just kind of sat back and enjoyed the warm weather, cause I know it's gonna end soon. I'm first out now, so probably...

    Accident

    And part of being the driver is properly caring for the equipment. If you drive for an owner and have an at-fault accident, it's your dime to cover the deductible, same as a freight damage claim. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop
