Besides the required maintenance, what was actually spent and on what areas? This would probably give a better picture of what to avoid in the future. My little kitty cat 7.2 has 98000. The only problem was a oil presure line went bad and was covered on the warrenty. My opinion on these little...

If you have a laptop, check out delorme software and gps. Get the deluxe version. I use it and say its about 97% acurate. Why rent when you can buy it. Also a write off on taxes. With stand alone GPS systems, the screen is pretty small. My laptop screen is pretty good size and adjustable. Good...

I have never used an inverter but wondering about this subject too. Whats a good price for a 1000 watt inverter? I saw one today for $250 bucks. Forgot the name brand though. Any infor would be appreciated. Randy:)

Has anyone thought about (or is doing this) have your own authority, contact with all the expediting companies when your empty and load for whoever calls with a decent load but since you have your own authority and insurance, require 90% of the revenue? Heck thats 10% free and clear for...

Still checking out carriers and haven't seen much said about Express-1. Anyone out there with any experience with them please give me your 2 cents on them. I've been home for 3 weeks now and am in no hurry to get back to work but have to sooner or later. Getting used to being around the house...

Happy holidays to all the staff at EO and to all the drivers and O/O's. Hopefully next year will be more profitable for us all. Safe driving to all. Randy:)

I jumped on freightmasters to get closer to home. It was there retail division. Was told would be dropping at docks with pallet loads. Was BS. Had to hand unload every piece cramed in the truck. After about 5000 pieces in one day, my back was shot. That was the unload part. If the store had any...

Probably depends on how much you want to make. I drove tractor trailer for a couple of years then switched to expediting. You can always find work with tractor/trailer and keep pretty busy. Expediting is a little different as trying to keep busy. If you run as a team, you can probably make some...

Been getting a mix of replies about landstar. Been looking at pantherII but will probably make my decision after new years. Was with a nice carrier before and tried to get closer to home but unfortunately didn't work out. Can't go back either so have to find a new carrier. Living in minnesota...

Any Landstar express O/O's out here that can give me there opinion on Landstar Express? Considering jumping on board but want to ask current O/O's how you like the company. You can comment on this board or e-mail me personally at [email protected]. After reviewing there packet, seems like alot...

You should check with ford on this to insure if something goes wrong by using synthetic, you are still covered by the warrenty. I have been tosing the idea myself but remember reading somewhere on EO that someone tried it and the engine crapped out. I know the big rigs can handle it. If you do...

Did you ever install it? Am curious. Looking for something to heat the sleeper to. Randy:)

Thanks 5th wheeler. Looked at that thread after I posted this question. Double eagle has some nice sleepers. Kind of expensive though. Thanks again Happy Holidays & safe driving Randy :)

Doing a little research on possibly putting a sleeper on my FL70 extended cab. This one is to small. I have looked at alumi-bunk and double eagle on the web. Asking for your input on sleepers you have (good or bad) and recommendations. Want a good size to be comfortable in though. Will be...

I have noticed alot of tractor trailer drivers won't talk to us or give us a flash after we tell them its clear to come back into the lane. Its like were a :censoredsign: child or something. Anyway, the cb has more trash mouthed people on it these days than 10 years ago. I listen for the traffic or...

To my understanding, there is one out there for cummings. Not sure for engine sizes though. I am seriously concidering this for my FL 70. I have to park my truck were there is no plug in receptacle for the winter and don't care to pay $7000 for a gen set. I forgot to mention another web site for...

Has anyone with a 3126B cat engine ever used or have installed a temp-a-start in there truck? This is similar to detroits opti idle. Just found this in the last edition of Land Line magazine. For those who want info on it, check out www.tempastart.com . Am looking for personal experience with...

I think the sticker in your previous post would be fine to get the ball rollin. Just add some color to it and maybe an american flag on either or both sides. Safe driving Randy:-)

So when is the bumper sticker going to be ready? I'll put it next to my OOIDA sticker. Safe driving Randy}>

There is one in minneapolis and they are more of a courier service. They are (to my understanding) nation wide. They run dock trucks on down to cars. They also run cheap. Up here they don't take O/O's. They don't pay very well either. They do take away business from home grown couriers. Sounds...
