Ours lasted 2yrs and was runnin when I saw the truck with the new owner a year later,for around 100-130 bucks a reasonable alternative. Ours was in an ALumni bunk non air ride sleeper Ouch!:)

So true but futile!

I have taken a couple out for myself and others you must be sure to remove all trim,most time there is a fuse that goes out located on the top or back. That said they are junk after a couple years. sleeper mfg may be able to assist you with how to remove all are different. also if I remember...

this has been a very good discussion,the panther policy was well described by turtle,however the most telling thing is the original poster has not been back which prolly means that his lack of attention to detail has put him in the fix he's in at panther. it is always your responsibility to...

I can not remember a single time going from southbound i-69 to i-465 east bound, that I have Not been passed or had a t/t tailing me on this curve. I take it at a safe speed. This is just one place of many that are the scenes of accidents because of plain carless driving! No excuse for the...

What effect, if any, does it have on your truck and sleeper purchase plans? Will the integrated sleeper disappear with Bentz? We looked at and compared two units one a M-2 with a 100 in Benz sleeper , the other a Columbia with a 120 in AA sleeper. after all was said and done the class...

There was no quesstion in my post Dave. They do have Canada qualified drivers.

I obviously did not explain enough of the details, all 4 offers required 150 to 250 mi dh,with no bonus pay so all were unprofitable. Duh!

add I-95 va n of ex33, 4DOT, 4 straight trucks, Dot said they are catching a lot of st truck log violations. got our "9" sticker.

Dave, I agree with you ,now my penny in the pond. Have had 4 swap offers from Romuls to Canada in last 6wks,all were from south Texas and wanted us to carry the last 150mi or less, all the bs but no miles, the answer is always no. If you want the first 1500 mi you should be willing to do...
