    inverter question

    Add up the consumption (wattage)for every thing that is plugged into the inverter and add 15% - this is the minumal inverter size you will need. UNLESS you use have a refrig, than add 20% to be safe (the start up current for a compressor is usually 20% higher than running current). The bigger...

    I have talked to two UPS expediters, they also do courier work going overseas. Both of these UPSers talked about their trips to Europe.

    2006 Chevy 17ft Unicell

    Leo they do put the 17 footer on the G3500 chassis. but I can't find the extended weight capacity for the G3500 (like the 12K chassis) they used to have. I would actually look at the Aerocell SRW instead, it seems to be more suited for the chassis. As for the fuel consumption, 15 will be on...

    Problems with the International 4400 DT466

    I read this a few times and wonder what am I missing? I may sound dumb tonight – guess I have a lot on my mind. I want to add some things that may help you, please don’t get insulted by my opinion. So let me get this straight – you bought a truck from Alumibunk and it had 11 miles on...

    FDX

    ohhhh..... thanks Well FedEx has the brand name, except UPS isn't far behind as you know and Panther I think is not far behind of UPS. The funny thing is I think we will see a lot more of contracted freight with more compeition.

    FDX

    I am really puzzled by alwaysbroke’s comments. Please explain to me how can FedEx CC limit the DH miles when they are not driving your truck and don’t have a clue where the next customer will come from? I see it this way, if they could have a crystal ball and see where the runs are...

    Bryan Thanks but I knew about it since it hit the market. I bought the ODB ii adapter for my laptop and was running Autotap and a few others. I am not satified with the setup, mainly because I am trying to figure out how to get it to reset the body ECM on my caravan. One program I had allows...

    First post, lots of questions

    Ok, I guess I am rather confused - your wife has a job, you have 15k in loans and you are buying a new truck? Something is wrong here. I don’t want to sound insensitive but forget about what you hear and stick to what you know best to get you through college and then decide. I can not see...

    slow start to the week.......

    Taking in account the coastal areas that are still recovering, We in Michigan (the great state of denial)have the proud distinction of having the highest unemployement rate, Alaska and SC are a close second as of today. We also have one of the highest crime rate in the nation.

    Scanguage

    Not to be a smart a**, I am wondering how many people even know what you are talking about. Right now I am using my laptop and an interface, not quite satified but it tells me what I need to know.

    To Die For!

    Bryan I somewhat agree with your premise but I never saw any of this with my return to the trucking culture – which expediting is part of. See I was wrapped up in trucking in the late 1970’s and left it as a dream only to return last year. As an outsider I didn’t experience the gradual...
