    Load One 2021

    Whew!!!! Night time tornado's scare the crap outta me. Remember sitting through one night time warning at Pontoon Beach J once. Heard the sirens and thought, how the hell is anyone supposed to see this if they are out? Spent about 20 mins huddled with the staff and a few drivers that woke up and...

    Anybody hear from Turtle today? That was some pretty nasty stuff down his way. Hope he's okay.

    Load One 2021

    Noticed we get a text message when we turn down a load now. Wondering what the thinking is behind this? I don't mind it, just curious as to the why.

    Load One 2021

    Glad you're OK Roadtime. Did CNN blame it on climate change? They like to do that. Tornado's....never had them before,climate change. Flooding......never happened before,climate change. 27 car pile up on the interstate.......climate change......or maybe the orange haired guy. He was a bad...

    Load One 2021

    It takes a special kind if idiot to repeatedly park thier straight truck in a no idle plug in spot at the yard......and leave their LOUD APU running all the time. Plug in and shut it off or park where all the other straight trucks with running APU's park. Total lack of respect for anyone else.

    sprinter / retarder shutoff relay

    If this kind of stuff is happening, given the age of the van, I'd be taking a good look at chassis and body grounds.

    sprinter / retarder shutoff relay

    Check your engine run relay. If the key is turned off and the ECM doesn't see signs of immediate engine shutdown you can get codes like this. Ignition switches rarely control actual engine run functions...just trigger a relay. Relays get old and lazy.

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    T270, when asking your local plumber or FritoLay guy....remember, they don't log because they stay in the 100 mile circle, so most of them are over 10,000 lbs, and experience almost no DOT enforcement anyways. The 'light weight' FritoLay Sprinters were 8800 lbs empty. So unless you're...

    Looking to become a fleet owner.

    To the OP, your Chevy cutaway idea is interesting but not worth it. To get enough wheelbase to do 3 skids and have a bunk you will need the 177 inch wheelbase and it's a dually. To convert to single rear wheels that will have the safe capacity to haul the weight, and the proper track width to...

    It would be a Christmas miracle (weekends usually don't produce a lot of cross border freight, even as hard as Tim tries) but, if the weekend crew does find me a load, I will beat my previous December record from last week. Talked to a few other expediters this week, they aren't seeing it so...

    Gotta admit, last week was a positive surprise for me. Not used to seeing numbers like this in December.

    If you were heading west (ish) then a right turn would not be false advertising (ish). Kinda like the distance signs in northern OH on 75 telling you how far away Tampa is......true but relevant?

    That sux. I hate losing the ones to places I want to go personally more than losing the big money ones most times. Nice pics though! PS, 6hrs late to del, wanna guess how happy they were?

    December@Load1

    Dear fellow Load One drivers, If you are bringing a load to the yard that is going to Canada, be nice, and send the customs paperwork to dispatch when you pick it up. It's easy, you can do it from the app, or email it ([email protected]). No need to find a fax. John has made both ways...
