Chevy Colorado Astro Body by Supreme

I know a dealer that has one of these at an amazing price, in fact they are really trying to get rid of it (you know the economy and they have too much inventory). It has the added ladder rack, interior bins, and the back-up camera. It is nice! Make a comment on this page if you are interested in it, I think I can get you an even better deal than the already ridiculous one they are advertising.

Commercial Truck Insurance

yea i know you send that insurance guy big money each month for something you never use, IT SUCKS!  However just have one accident or problem and that insurance is the greatest deal ever.  Two things to look for in insuring your work vehicles is does the agent truly understand your needs and will the company back up all promises the agent tells you.  This is a good time to read all that crazy fine print.  I know several guys who use Progressive and are very happy but do your own research.

High Mileage Heroes

Hey readers!  I talked to a guy yesterday with a HVAC company and they have 3 Chevy Express Cargo vans and get this the "new" one is a 2005 with 175,000 miles on it!  The other two are 2001 models with get this 420,000 miles and 510,000 miles!  The only major repair was one got a new transmission at 350K.  He credits his success to regular maintenance and having employees that treat the vans like they owned them.

I know some of you have some great stories like this.  Send them to me to publish here and let others know.  Some people may brag about buying new trucks all the time.  But the guys with the smile on their face are the ones who are stretching every dollar out of their equipment.  

Go ahead send me your story.

2009 Chevy Express Cargo Van

someone said to me the other day "boy these vans look the same as they did 3 years ago"  I think he was just making a statement rather than a complaint.  You see in the new car world there is this mindset that things have to change every year, so everyone will know you have the latest model.  However when it comes to people who use their vehicle for work those things dont matter much.  Sure new improvments in technology are always nice.  But with the Express Cargo Van Chevy has found a design  that works, why mess with it so much?  Many of our customers have ten year old vans that they keep maintained and clean that look just like a new one.  Or when you do replace your van with a new one you know that Adrian bins and ladder racks still fit and everything works like it should.

Also just read in Motor Trend that the Chevy van wins hands down as the best Cargo van on the market.
