How do you have this mounted in your truck? Definately need to mount it with a good view. Will probably stick with my laptop since I watch DVD movies at night or dead time. Plus my screen is larger to view the map. Delorme has the GPS stuff to hook up now too. Keep us posted on how its doing...

They should make them get a class B license if over 26000 lbs. If it has air brakes then make them get the endorsment. Don't think you will get the physical every 6 months but at least 2 years like the rest. Not sure about this but I think Missouri makes RV's scale too. Thought I saw a sign...

Check out delorme.com . Everything you need except the laptop. Have a safe trip! Randy:7

Weave, Sounds like you got burned by this kind of set up. My 2000 runs great. No problems at 94000. I am glad I got the eaton 6 speed though. It may not be the most perfect truck out there but don't think any truck is perfect. If you treat them right and service them on time, should last you a...

What kind are you using? I have looked at handspring, palm and now checking out the ipaq. seems the ipaq is more powerfull than the others. Currently use a laptop with delorme software. Randy:-)

Anyone have the Allison 6 speed automatic tranny in there truck? Looking for oppinions (good or bad). Also maintanance and mpg info. Could you also state if you bought your truck with it in or had it installed. Thanks Randy

To take those nasty placards off, use what is called an eraser. Its looks like a round eraser you put on a drill. I was done under an hour. I picked mine up at a auto parts store. Good luck on the new job. Randy

Sub lease the trucks. This will at least pay for the truck and the drivers get the O/O benefit. Just charge a little more to cover expenses. Sublease a year at a time. Better than loosing the trucks to the bank and screwing up your credit. Good luck. Randy

Contact mikecop on this forum. He had problems with his. Maybe you two can get together on this. Randy

I wish I had $100,000.00 to pull out of my ##### to buy a new truck but unfortunately I don't. If I did, I would buy a century class freightliner with full sleeper and tandem axels with all the bells and whistles. Stuck with what I have for a couple years so have to make do. Keep us posted on...

Does your lease contract specifically say haul exclusively for this company? My last carrier I was with only required me to cover there sign on my truck if I pulled for someone else (backhaul). The only problem is I had only his insurance for cargo so unless I had my own insurance, no one would...

Looking for a generator setup for my FL 70. I looked at the proheat ice but don't think this will work as the sleeper is only 26 in. I would like something that heats in the winter and cools in the summer. Was thinking a generator with 12 volt plugs and run a extention cord inside. Then find...

I reposted this request in a seperate subject in the main conference. Please post there. thanks again Randy

I found the proheat ice web site. Don't think this will work. Might have to look for a generator and run a plug into the cab and hook up a heater . If anyone knows of a generator, please list it so I can check it out. Thanks Randy

What is the name brand of your genset? If you have the web site, let me know. Am currently looking for one for my fl70. Thanks Randy

Time to get a tape recorder and get the threat on tape. Then sue the bastards. Don't think any of the automakers would like that to get in the papers so would likley settle. These days, a threat to do bodily harm is concidered a terroristic threat in my book. Wouldn't put up with it one bit...

Thank god spring is finally here. I hope with the change of season comes better loads for all of us. I don't know about you folks out there but I have been sucking wind since December. My last day is friday with the local courier I am with and still haven't found another to go with. No reason to...

That sucks big time. I have a 3126B in my 2000 and hope this never happens. Is your engine the 3126B or is it just a 3126? Not sure if there is or not or what the difference might be. Later Randy

To my knowledge, you shouldn't have to change oil at 10000 unless your oil sample dictates. I have the 3126B cat in my fl70 (deep sump) and am researching putting synthetic delvac in it. I am not sure about the smaller diesel engines but the bigger ones can go 50000 without a oil change on...

Thanks for the reply. I will give the cusyomer service a call and see what they have to say. The fix you stated seems like a good one. Was concidering something like that but won't do that until the warrenty is gone. Mine is a 2000 and want freighliner to fix this. I even checked to see if I...
