Well if it was a cab/chassis setup, the sleeper would look rather odd. You can get it in a 9900 GVW but why would you, to haul 1100lbs? If it has a 102" wide box, would that even be legal, the track of the sprinter rear axle is something like 7x inches - a lot of overhang.

Just go to penske and call them. Tell them you are looking for a Dock high truck with a lift gate and have them search for you - not all their trucks are on their website. ALSO just a thought - using a third party to make your deliveries my be the best solution because of insurance...

I find it rather hard that you have that choice but if you did, than I can understand your reluctance. We are all our own little island and nothing will ever change that. Unless we want to run our business in sync with others and put an odd but concerted effort into making sure we are on...

You really want to know? It is because this industry, not this niche but the entire industry allows entry into it with so much ease and little real qualifications it really is the foundation for the industry to have nothing but people who are marginal and in many cases very substandard...

How do you lose something you are not even offered?

Most of the states are the same - have to take the test in a vehicle you intend to drive. There are ways around the rental thing by the way. BUT with that said, I would just go for the class A license instead of trying to get a class B.

That's the important thing - getting with the right company. If someone is willing to be patient and seek out the right company for them, then they may make good money but most are not patient or willing to wait while taking a risk. Capacity is not all that important as it used to be - no...

I've heard that for 6 years now and it has yet to happen. I got to add this, it isn't really the capacity that is the problem - van, straight truck or flying carpet - the problem is the company. If the company has 125 vans in the fleet and only five people trying to capture enough freight to...

I think some of you proved my point, Obama must be in charge because many of you think he is the Man who can spend the money and make the people happy. You know thinking about it, many don't believe in him as a way to get money, a lot of them believe he is doing good fixing what others messed...

I also think that because vans are cheap and pretty much dependable enough regardless of age, getting in as an owner should be the least that a contractor has to do to get into the business.

Um ... I don't know if I should even add to the discussion. BUT I will. The moderator shouldn't have left, it is their job to keep things moving even when it gets rather boring, even if they have to do card tricks or something. Them leaving showed others no one was interested in going on...

Nothing like interrupting a night of cooking shows to see our great leader tell us things we already know. BUT with that said, I think as mentioned to start taxing those uber-rich who seem to be able to hand out advice about what we are supposed to do while not paying much in taxes because...

Well if I would have known you two were so close, I would have made lunch for both of you.

Well I'm messing with all of you, I boycott FB as I do twitter for a reason I will not get into online. Oh so what do you guys do in SD when you have no internet connection? You using the good old light signal to transmit those 1s and 0s?

I understand your point but GE isn't the worst even if their CEO is sitting with the prez drinking long island ice tea while discussing how to screw the US citizens. I won't get into the worse offenders but your point is well taken and goes back to another comment I made in another thread -...

OK dakota, I'll use yours, what is it and while your at it, what's your ss number?

GE is moving where the business climate is better than here and where the talent is. I don't like it but I don't see the problem with just GE - I see the problem with our country, our education system and our business climate. Maybe the Fairtax is one possible solution.

I don't see it as a problem when it is related to immigration as much as I see it as a problem when it is related to civil rights. Both issues are valid but not the same as the French running scared because of the riots in Paris and other cities by very poor people - not just Muslims...

Thank you, but what is your truck and sleeper size?

Well I would prefer to drive out there but I got to work, so it won't happen until my vacation in 2015. BUT seeing you are married to the second most prolific writing EO member and third most important moderator, I don't see the issue with the pictures. Have him talk to Lawrence to get the...
