    Chinese diesel heaters

    Does everyone who buys these things end up having to fiddle around with them, or are they more likely to be plug and play? Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    See You in September

    Starting out the month in Jackson, GA. Brought an emergency load to the Home Depot distribution center in McDonough; they will ship it on to Florida. Waiting to see where next; we got a little extra $ in case we need to beat feet somewhere. Also keeping a close eye on Dorian; it’s now a Cat 5...

    Is this the end of the road?

    It may be for us. This industry has a way of culling the weak, and it may have caught up to us. I covet your prayers. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    Get your wallet out

    Another new year, another toll increase on the PA Turnpike. These increases happen every year, and are scheduled to last until the 2040s. For years, the car toll between Valley Forge (326) and Pittsburgh (57) was $5 for cash (no EZPass existed). As of today, the cash toll is $37.00 [emoji33]...

    Cargo Van Time for a high top

    Ye Olde flattop, while still running well, is starting to get a little tired. So now, I wonder: minicube, Transit or Sprinter? If Sprinter, what advice on how to keep it healthy? Whichever, new or used? What say you, owners of each kind of van?

    Cargo Van Controversial idea?

    As we know, a certain group of expediters have a reputation for running cheap, and the thought occurs to me: do the individual drivers realize how poorly they're being paid? And is there anything they can do about it? Or are they being kept silent by their bosses? Something to think about, maybe?

    MAJOR TROUBLE on PA Turnpike

    The Delaware River Bridge is closed until further notice. This is the bridge that connects the PA and NJ Turnpikes at MP 359. Suggested alternate routes include I-78, other nearby bridges, and for locals the Burlington Bristol Bridge. There's a structural crack in the steel on the Jersey side...

    Cargo Van When to replace your van

    This week's Bambi problem could have forced me to replace my current low top van, but it is to be fixed. That said, when should a smart vanner replace his/her van? I know I'm missing out on some freight by not being Sprinter height, but how much? The current van is in pretty good shape...

    REAL ID

    Five states, including my own Pennsylvania, are noncompliant with the Real ID standards for drivers' licenses. For us, that means you won't be able to gain admission to Federal facilities and/or nuclear power plants starting 30 January 2017. More info: Current Status of States/Territories |...

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    ... for sitting too long. Apparently someone complained about the man taking a nap in his vehicle with his (shod) feet sticking out the side door. This is after I spent close to $50 over two days at the restaurant AND bought $45 worth of gas. The kid that confronted me asked me if I was...

    Cargo Van Should I even worry about not being Sprinter-high?

    Been mulling over the idea of replacing my flattop with a taller vehicle. Also looking into a professional roof cap install, which would give me 12-18" more door height. Lord help me, I've even thought of having the roof cut, braced and modified to accept a pickup cap! :eek: (Although my pimp...

    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...
