You spend too much time at home to be an expediter. Also, going out of route on a delivery is a waste of time and fuel. It's generally not a wise business decision. But then again, you're not a real expediter.;)

Just an example, A month ago, my water pump went out in Charleston, SC, so I deadheaded home and changed it, along with the thermostat, hoses,fan clutch,flushing the radiator.New antifreeze.Including the fuel to go home, I saved $650.00 doing all of this myself.Ford in Charleston wanted $975.00 To change just the water pump,and 2 days to do it.That made the difference in paying bills and not being able to.Just saying..

Go easy on the boy, Guido. Just look at his avatar and tell me if he appears to be the kind of guy who can do a tune up in his back yard. I'm just being honest here bud.:p

305$ later the van is fixed. Needed a boot and plug, a blower motor switch and a new air filter. So I'm available and dispatch says it's slow today, so here I sit....dumb luck I guess.

Hey Faligator, if you don't have a manual that covers your van grab one the next time you pass an auto store, they are usually under $30. If anything it will be good reading and allow you to save some money down the road. Turning wrenches isn't hard if you have the correct tools and knowledge.
Also reading the book is referred to as "RTFM" should you hear it down the road...
