Yeah ... their prices may .... but not their coffee .... not even close. :D

Ken, Dang .... must be them stinkin' AirTabs ... gotta get me some of them. :D TJ, Nightcreacher made a post in another thread I think that described exactly what I try to do - something along the lines of: "treat the pedal as though it were an eggshell - try to avoid crushing it"...

I got a call from Dispatch this morning right after I dropped asking if I was "going to be participating in the fuel protest" today. I just kinda laughed and said "No - but I will be unavailable until around 15:00 because I need to get some sleep." She said "Ok, thanks - we will know to keep...

Ya gotta love it when that happens. :D

Jack, The tranny went south in the Sprinter and he picked up a Chevy extended.

David, Why not post the list here online ? I'll contribute my 2 cents: The state of Virginia requires scaling by commercial vehicles with a GVW of 7500 lbs. or more. The reference for that is contained on page 20 under the heading "Weight Inspection Requirement" in a PDF document that...

From the J at Oak Creek, WI last night to the J in Gretna, NE - drove it 54 to 57 all the way: 535 miles - just filled the tank: 20.432 gallons used .... 26.18 mpg .... and that was with running the Espar for 8 hours last night. :D (Admittedly it wasn't real cold out last night .... :))

Well, I'm sittin' up in Fond du Lac this morning (Saturday) and just about when it was looking like this week was gonna end up a little worse than last, Dispatch calls with a 659 miler picking up Saturday afternoon for delivery Monday morning @ 05:00 ... so I made my target for the week ...

Greg, From what I read (and I don't recall exactly where offhand) the system uses a dielectric sensor to measure electrical capacitance or conductivity. As the vehicle is run the oil becomes dirty and contaminated and the oil's electrical conductivity increases. I believe that other data...

Greg, I dunno of any reason why a bypass system couldn't extend the change interval - other than the fact that there is apparently no plugged port or other place to tap into .... at least that's what I have heard ..... haven't personally inspected it all over myself. (The actual housing for...

DC Airco were the ones Ray at Espar of Michigan was selling: DC Airco

Ditto what OVM says on the fuel filter - and buying oil at Autozone. I think I have changed my fuel filter twice - at around 35K and 74K miles .... probably could have gone longer but didn't want to chance having it ended up restricted while I was on a load - particularly during the winter when...

Ken, I was down in the Indy area this morning ... well, Lafayette anyways .... just long enough to drop and grab some sleep ..... up in Fondle My Yak, WI this evening. Yes, I have done well with Bolt .... December was good (particularly given that I was just starting) and January thru mid...

I've heard that same explanation ("that's an old ad.") given for at least one other issue - no CDL required for cargo van o/o's. You would think that as the largest expedite carrier (fleet size) they could afford to hire someone to update their ads and keep them accurate ....

Great news Joe - excellent !!!

Tuesday - ran a load from northeast Ohio down to Georgetown, KY - 341 miles. Picked up at 17:30 and the protect at the consignee was 06:00 the next day - but I could deliver up until 02:00. I ran it at 55 mph all the way - and still made it there by 12:30. Had another one Thursday picked up...

US 395 running down the east side of the Sierra Nevada thru the Inyo National Forest from around Coleville up near the Nevada border down to Lone Pine, just east of Mt. Whitney. A friend's family has a 99 year lease from the US government and a cabin at about 7,000 foot on the east side of...

That's ok .... nobody else did either. :D

Rev, You aren't - read it again. :) dcalien, Regarding oil consumption, my 2006 Sprinter's manual says the following: "When the engine has passed the break-in period, oil consumption may reach 0.5% of the fuel consumption recorded in actual operating circumstances. In isolated cases and in...
