    speedo calib.

    I would say that you have found a good reason to purchase a GPS if you don't already have one. It would be cheaper than the fix. A GPS would let you know exactly how much your speedo is off and will always be there to back up the milage or speed. My speedo is only off 1 mph at 60, so I know...

    Commercial Truck Rentals

    Color me a dummy. I'll be heck if I see what the rest of you see with the figures and statements he made. $350 a day for a truck? Plans on 200 mile trips? Even the 300 to 600 mile trips would be hard to pay back $350 truck rental. I don't see it, I don't figure it. Guess my mind is clogged with...

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    I say, I did it! It cost me right at $1800 to do exactly what you want. And yes it is China made generator, but the rooftop is a Carrier AirV. Now it has only been used one time so far (cause I been in Wisconsin and it was not hot there) but for the first 9 hours of use, I ran it 9 hours on 2.46...

    Commercial Truck Rentals

    $350 a day for a box truck? 300 to 600 for 500 miles? And you are furnishing your own cargo insurance on top of all this? If you break even, you will have had a good day. Something not right about your figures. No way you could make any money using those figures.

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    Got my rooftop unit installed, generator mounted also. Have not been on road with it yet. Will use it this week and repport back. One thing I hadn't counted on was the generator had a gravity fed fuel tank with a return line. So, I had to buy and install an universal electric fuel pump and run a...

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    I have bought a diesel powered 6KW generator off Ebay. It has an oil filter with oil changes recommended every 100 hours. I also bought a Carrier rooftop AC. My thoughts are, I can replace generator several times for what I would have to pay for a new APU. Plus, my truck is a 2000 year model...
