I am still here:( Dealer had to order a scv (suction control valve). From what I heard, its basically a toyota version of a throttle position sensor. Hopefully that will take care of the truck, then its off to the apu guy in New Boston. Week 1 Awsome. Week 2 Sucked. Week 3 Having...

What are the age limits at Load 1 for s/t? Sorry if I missed this question, but I couldn't read all 30 pages. CHop

Motorcycles was just a dream! lol. I've repo'd for years though. Off and on, good and bad. I figured I'd try expedite. Been curious about it for years and wanted to learn the ropes. I'm learning that if they'd keep me with at least 2k miles a week, it would be more profitable then a big...

Actually its a Rig Master. When it works, it works well. I wish it would have temp vary of maybe 3/4 degrees instead of 6 but other then that its wonderful. We found the previous owner had dropped a fuse into the brain under the bunk and it shorted 2 terminals. He fixed the board, but hes...

Your telling me!!!!! I was on the phone this morning with the apu guy and the Hino shut off. Started it back up, and it shut off again. On the third time I noticed no throttle control or response at all from the pedal OR the idle control on the dash. A phone call to the dealer revealed a...

2007 Hino, 96 sleeper w/ 22ft box. The sleeper is outstanding!! Bentz sleeper I think, 2 bunks, bottom folds up to have 2 benches and a table. Small counter w/ sink and plenty of cabinets. Also have an apu but its been acting up today. I'm sittin up here in Dundee,MI and its getting...

I'm in a straight truck, and yes, you need a cdl for this truck I'm in.

Just a little update. They did get me loaded last Monday morning....and kept me running till Sunday 10pm when I had to do a reset. Total miles start to finish was 2845. Thats including dh, and then 15 miles to get back to the office from my last drop. I was hoping this kept up starting...

Layover, I totally get your point of view!! I know in VA and TX (where I've held licenses) depending on your situation, they do have the right to refuse you rights to drive. Most situations can be doc. approved with a bunch of hassle, but yes.....states do hold the right to NOT allow you to...

Hopefully these guys will dispatch me tomorrow and get me rollin! Sitting around this hotel is getting boring!

Layover, I have had the box 1 time and the little ear thing 1 time. Other then that, no whisper tests or anything close to it. As far as you should be able to drive if you can't hear? I don't agree. Yes, your ears aren't your only means of driving or loading/unloading, but they are more...

When that does happen, you will not be cleared for a medical card. You should be tested for this when you go for your physical, but in 11 years of having a CDL I've only been tested 2 times for this. Truck drivers are making conclusions on 2010 based on rumors on the cb or boards like this...

I bet Panther has EVERYTHING to do with this leasing company. I'm sure the only reason they are agreeing with panther to lease trucks to them is the fact that panther promises to contract the trucks. That is the ONLY way a leasing company is going to allow a no down payment, no credit check...

Just strange to hear that a reefer can't come out of ATL. I'm still wondering if hes leased to a company......that might be the "catch" that is keeping him there?

I've never heard of reefer freight being that bad....esp in a metro area. I come from flat bedding and auto transport. I JUST got into expedite.......and got stuck here for the weekend so I understand the bored part. I keep hearing that reefers are running for no less then 2 - 2.25 a mile...
