    Cargo Van Upfit to Van

    The only time I've ever bought a new vehicle, it was a small car and I drove it off the lot. So as someone who is a complete virgin to even the idea of buying a new truck, I have a question: Is it possible to finance an Espar heater as part of the initial purchase? I know that money is...

    Not such a Fantastic idea

    Silly me, I thought that if a Fantastic Fan only draws 3 amps, I could safely wire it to my starting battery. Wrong! :mad: Thank God a Pilot employee came out for a smoke a bit ago. He took pity on me with my cables in my hand, and jump started me. As I type, the van has been idling for 45...

    Does any truckstop have decent internet?

    Paid $20 for a month of PFJ internet the other day; it's terrible! Service is weak when it works, which it usually doesn't, and when I complained, I was told that no refund is possible. Gonna take it up with my bank; maybe a backcharge will get the attention of the hacks in Knocksville :p

    Delicate Subject

    As we mourn for our good friend Letzrockexpress, it occurs to me: What happens when a driver dies or becomes seriously incapacitated on the road? Who will help the family with the various logistical challenges? Not only must the driver, or his/her body be returned home, their truck needs to be...

    Good place to move to, as an expediter

    I don't want to go into details, but unfortunately my wife and I may have to, shall we say, change residence. As an expediter, are there states that are especially advantageous to relocate to? I love PA, and may simply move to the cheaper western side of the state, but I have also considered...

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    Once in a while we expediters (especially us lowly vanners) find ourselves at a motel front desk, exchanging credit card for room card. This happens when the truck falls ill, is full of freight or simply to give ourselves the luxury of being able to stretch out a little bit. This thread is for...

    Interesting observation

    How weird is this? I'm in the Walmart in Newtown, CT. No firearms, as you'd expect, and very little ammunition (as is the case everywhere). No gun magazines (the paper-and-ink kind) either. But if you want an airsoft or BB assault rifle, they got 'em! :eek::rolleyes: Sent from my SCH-I110 using...
