Truck is running smoother but Noticed a dropped in my mileage, and have been having a time at trying to figure why, no doubt by now the new fuel has run through my entire system. Had a service done about 3weeks ago + New Steer Tires and thought it was from the weight and all the bad & windy...

RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an And to make sure I posted correctly, my $$woes came from trying to hang in with my previous carrier. It is at TranStewart that I am doing well at. Smaller is Definately better, and the higher volume of work is slowly getting me out the hole...

RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an I can't put a finger on it. With this being the slow period and so many of us are sitting. And asking whats going on? But I am sure it will pick up soon (I Hope) And the higher rate will be more the Norm. I have concerns, And right now I am...

RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an I am also with TranStewart and what rollinthunder is about right, but I gotta add that I am always asked is the rate ok to bid at, if an area is slow moving it may be at the lower end. I have been offered help on DH but stuck myself by...

Welcome Kangar0085, I am in a Straight Truck, and all I will say is Please do your research on the carrier you decide to run with. I was with a larger carrier at a better pay per mile but was not moving enough, went to a smaller carrier and doing much better with more miles at a slightly lower...

Hey Driver628, I beleive it is business as usual for this time of year, so some weeks may vary (others will chime in on this). But if going to Canada will not be a burden and rate is ok, I may go just to keep it moving. AbeJr Stand Tall & Be Proud

I remember my large carrier days, Had my A** handed to me. Done it all by the book to. I love the smaller carrier I am with now and sorry they wern't putting on trucks when I first started. But I will still make the point, you gotta do your homework when looking to find your right fit...

Hey Gang, Well the Radio was shot, so I replaced it with a Panasonic w/Casette Deck since I was running my XM that way. Everything is cool for now. Let's see if the Panasonic can take a Beating. AbeJr Stand Tall & Be Proud

I turned the truck off when the flickering on/off started, I even pulled the fuse and it was doing the same with the truck on or off. Went to Freightliner today and was told right away the radio is done for, so I will double check my wiring, and if all is still good with that I will replace the...

Hey Gang, This evening while working on the truck, Went to start it up and my Radio was Flickering?. Turn the key on and off a few times and it was still Flickering. Turned the truck off in the Garage and the radio was still doing the same. I pulled the fuse, still the same problem. Pulled the...

Hey Hino, I feel ya pain. No doubt you have to be proactive in decission making, and it may take a moment to get the feeling of a company leased on with. Just don't let the moment be too long. If you have a feeling that you need to move out of an area then do not wait 8 days to do it. Look...
