    Pets and Customers

    If I was the customer, I would probably have a no pet policy. And it wouldn't matter who or where or when I post my policy. If you arrive at the gate and I tell you not to enter with a pet on board, it would be up to you to comply. If you decide it more important to refuse delivery, before...

    westland, mi Public Library of Westland 6123 Central City Pkwy Westland, MI 48185 I like this one for the number of times I end up in the Greater Detroit area. It's 1.5 miles east of the Ford Rd exit off of I-275 (exit 25)(the Ikea exit). It's medium sized and tucked away in the trees and a...

    That's nifty. I didn't realize I could say, "****, **** and ****ed" and the forum would automatically edit my comments. I had always thought that everyone here was surprisingly considerate and proper in editing their own comments. eb

    Pets and Customers

    Miguy you just don't get it. How could you possibly compare family members to hazardous materials? (hehe--as he stirs the pot.) Every time this topic comes up, I picture standing at the shipper with an Express-1 driver with their dog milling around the vans. I had already kicked the dog...

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    OVM, I've agreed with your approach to running your vehicle since before I bought my van. Most of my rhetoric is to emphasize the differences between the T1N and NCV3. I've never seen my ASSYST system count beyond a 10,000 mile interval. eb

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    OVM, Would you consider the modification if it was scheduled to break five to seven times during your million mile life time? This is the rate others are experiencing. eb

    What's this? No one's tried to make a jump on starting the May locations thread? Plymouth (Indiana) Public Library. Six hundred miles for the week. Not bad considering a day and a half of that was in the shop, but still didn't come close to breaking even for the week. eb

    Re: Sprinter and the backyard mechanic

    OVM, this is for you and others having success with your sprinter vans. I've been wanting to ask this question for a while now. Lots of the 2006 and older sprinter owners have had good luck with their vehicle. What vehicle will you get to replace this vehicle when the time comes? Do you...

    April 2010 locations

    Yes, and both are shot. Doesn't seem like such a long wait for the part like some people have experienced. It should be here first thing in the morning. I don't see how people could keep driving with it bad while they waited for the part to arrive. eb

    interesting sprinter idea

    The last couple months I was thinking about pulling out the engine and transmission, putting an apu under the hood, and converting the thing into something resembling the cross between a horse trailer and airstream trailer. eb

    What's the worst thing about layovers?

    Should we define layover? I consider layover the time that I am dedicated to a load but can't be loaded or unloaded, so I have to wait for the shipper or consignee. Like detention, but measured in days. Or am I confusing paid layover with a common everyday layover? eb
