One mans cheap freight is another mans treasure!! Very true! Even a load that pays for fuel only is better than sitting or deadheading if it gets you out of a bad area.

In a current post on winter driving I stated that I use Bosch Micro Edge wiper blades. I replaced my Bosch blades this weekend with a pair from Rain-X. The Rain-X blades have the traditional 2 pivot points on the main frame but have 4 instead of 2 pivot points branching off the main frame. In...

I found the high pitch whine is an indication of a plugged fuel filter. This causes the pump to work harder. My neighbor had a Jimmy with a 5.7. I noticed the high pitch whine and suggested he replace the fuel filter. That solved the problem.

I have a Mr. Heater portable heater that uses the 1# propane bottles. I bought it for emergency use. I have never run it while sleeping, but have used it during the day to stay warm. My van is insulated and it will keep the cargo area and cab toasty. The cab is partitioned from the cargo...

Prof, an in-line fuel pump would be nice, but I not sure such a critter exists. I would be happy with an in-line fuel filter like the 5.7's had. I would change mine every 30,000 miles. The only pre-event symptom I had when the fuel pump went out in my 5.7 was increased cranking time before...

Dave, I think I found what you were looking for. Marty6731 posted "Cargo Van" on the general forum. The original posting was Feb. 5, 2006. Terry used self tapping Zerks on his hinges. I remember him posting pictures but couldn't find them.

I would think the Hadley train horns qualify as a wildlife or any other form of life dispersal system. Paul, what is the Quadraleveler system. Is that similar to the system R.V.'s use to level the unit when parked?

I don't believe there is any law that states a commercial must not drive in icy conditions. Unless of course the road has been closed. Or in the mountains when chain laws are in effect. I did hear a state trooper on the c.b. tell a driver pulling an O.D. load during snowy conditions that he...

Drive axle tires.

Danny, good luck with your new business venture. Make DannyD II do all the heavy lifting and bending.

I always hit the T/A in Hampshire, IL. It is located off I-90 at the 36.5 mile marker. It will put you half between the western suburbs of Chicago and Rockfish, Il. The Denny's on Busse in Elk Grove Village used to be the hot hangout for expediters, especially vans. But it has been closed...

I hired my own personal spell checker.

Terry, where did you mount this antenna? I need to stay under 8' so I can get into my garage. How's the new van working. Can you create your own weather with all of those Fan-Tastic-Vents?

Star, I guess were're guilty of not calling him the "world famous" DieselPhreak. I think I just called out for the DieselPhreak. Looking good Phreak. I would like to see you and your rig a little closer than from across a median strip and 65mph in the opposite direction. Take care.

It's nice to see an apology for an honest mistake. You're OK Art.

Get an attorney and get the J.B. Hunt driver's logs showing his last 30 days. Chances are he made a mistake somewhere and that will help explain his demeanor and actions at the time of the incident. As for the assault charges, you may have to let that slide. But by all means go after the...

Your link features the 3rd quarter loses for 3 major national truck-load carriers. None of these carriers owns an expedite freight unit. How are the LTL carriers doing? Especially the ones that own an expedite freight company? If you want to make a comparsion, I think an LTL carrier to an...

Thank you Jayman! You are a gentleman and a geek. I'm in gigabyte heaven. Just moving my music to the D drive freed up 3 GB's. I'm on a mission now. Look out! Thanks again, Moot

OK indeed!
