Rocket,
No kit on mine for that reason. I just use a marine tank on mine. Gives me something to do if I'm sitting.

I have all the "stuff" to do it, just haven't yet. Yes you can have vacuum problems if you have any kind of leak letting air into the tank...so you have to make sure you have a good seal where you drop the pickup line in the tank. JB Weld and maybe even a silicone sealant around and over that.
If i wasn't so lazy, mine would be done, but it is what it is...lol...
Is there a possibility of problems coming from the generator end of the system? I'm thinking that the generator will be "as closed" of a system as the main line running to the van's engine? Which would mean it is workable?
Just trying to decide the best way to get it done...without dropping $350 for what looks like $30 worth of parts to me..lol.
What are you using for a pickup tube?
You sayin Florida hard to get out of? LoL..eh, hope not, but got a place to hang for a bit :+) hopefully not long tho.

From what I am hearing, this new Workflow program on the Q-C is alot more difficult and time consuming than the current, or old setup.Do we have to use the new system? Can we stay with the old? I am hearing that we have to go to different pages, or screens, to retrieve information(Load info) that is currently on one screen with the old system.Sometimes simple is best.I am basing this on what I have been told by drivers that have the new setup.a lot of negative feedback floating around out there, unfortunately.
I find it pretty easy, and certainly more of a web page like look on screen. Any change just takes time to adapt. My .02
Been on Workflow for a couple of months now. Real easy, haven't had any problems. The screens are easy to read, all the info on the load is right there, and as I understand it you will be able to push a button on the screen and it will give you directions on the nav screen. One stop shop.
When you compare it to the phones we used when I started with Load 1, it's like the difference between biplanes and jets.

Ken, go easy on yourself there! lol....
Maybe I am just prematurely worrying about nothing based on speculation and opinion.I'll put it aside until I get the new program installed.I don't think I really have a choice in the matter to begin with...lol..
I know this is a traditional slow month, but I really would like something to do, as far as work goes....I could sand the floor and polyurethane it, but it would take at least 3 days to air out from the fumes...

Good morning....it is I, John Elliott. The most loved and yet hated man in expedite.....
Loved and hated at the same time....I hate to ask....lol..
Most all of the feedback I have gotten on workflow has been very positive. Most drivers find it much easier, especially if you have a multiple stop load.
Be patient grasshopper, only at 19 hours. You shall roll.
Be like me and avoid the shop.....LOL....things are tending to break at the moment..IE: scanners...when close to shop...it ain't broke I am fine as is....LOL
