    DTH Expeditors, Inc.

    I have a friend who leased on to them. They very rarely had any loads coming back to Atlanta. So count on deadheading back empty for another load. Well, this was happening about 10 years ago, so things could be a little different now. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Need help

    Don't go out and buy a van and then hope that someone will take you with that felony. Talk to recruiters, apply and when you are 100% sure they take you then go and buy it. You wouldn't want to be stuck with a van and not being able to use it. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Intl 4300 do I bags when loading with a forklift?

    The right way to do it is to install landing gear behind the rear axle and lower it any time you have a forklift drive onto the truck. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Swapped Instrument Cluster on Sprinter

    As far as I remember, the instrument clusters have the VIN of the vehicle burned into it and it cannot be changed. Basically, you need a new cluster to make it work with your van. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Best straight truck dealers

    Another one is Buckeye Western Star in Columbus. But I believe the best way is to buy a truck from a private party. You can save a ton of money. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    2021 MB Sprinter 2.0 gas or diesel

    Slight? I averaged 26 mpg yesterday driving the Sprinter family wagon from TN to FL with both front and rear AC on. Any gas sprinter owners with real numbers, not just made up stuff? Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Canada Former hourly driver going O/O

    Grumpy, Sprinters are a special breed of vehicles. Some love them and some hate them. I personally love them. I have a 2004 that I expedited with for 800k miles without any major issues. Still runs today but it only does trash runs once a month or so. I liked this van a lot that when I needed a...

    Rest while we fill your truck in your parking spot.

    No thanks. I'll pump my own fuel. When I was driving a van I always hated it when I needed to fuel in NJ and they would come up to me and bother me. Sorry. I can stick the thing in the hole. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    President O'Biden

    I kinda doubt that. Is it possible, maybe, they know something we don't and can think for themselves instead of allowing media to put fear in them. Sent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk

    Thou shall not steal, its ok in California,,,

    I expect it to get even worse. I read about a month ago an article about eastern Europeans crossing the border from Mexico. About 2000 of them have been apprehended since Biden took office, or something like that. I used to live in that part of the world some time ago. What you guys probably...

    How realistic is getting to planet fitness regularly as a straight truck team?

    I had a membership at Planet Fitness up until the covid thing. Had no issue whatsoever parking my straight at any location I stopped at. Some locations I couldn't find space in the front parking lot, but I would park in the back and ask the guys inside if I could park there for a couple of...

    Fuel, DEF and Engine Idling

    Grandpa, I have a family mover passenger Sprinter that uses DEF, I used to use bottled DEF, but then I switched to bulk. No difference, haven't had a DEF issue yet. 74k miles on the van. My opinion, use what makes you comfortable. WalMart sells a 2.5 gal jug of DEF for 6.98 plus tax. That is...
