Just like all mechanics now days. They go thru some classes and they are mechanics. They only know what they are taught in class. Don't know how to use common sense and try to solve a problem. If the book didn't tell them how to solve a problem, they don't know how, simple as that. Its not...

If anyone hasn't received or gotten the expediter from express-1 yet and/or unable to get it, post a message here and I'll send you a message requesting for your e-mail. Doing it this way, because if your able to post here, your more likely working for Express-1. Didn't want a lot of...

Honestly, we will be taking our r&r staying with our kids and grandkids at the end of the month. Gotta see the grandkids. They are my sweet peas. :D Other than that, I would like to do something like that some day.

I asked once why we were getting a CV or sprinter load when I knew there were some there in a CV or sprinter. They told me because we had more hours sitting than any other person there. Which made sense, but being as a team, I would like the longer hauls, like in the 700's or higher. But...

Garmin has finally released one, thought I share the info with all the ones who likes using Garmin or the ones who like to check it out even. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=275&pID=31541

Don't worry its packed right now. :D It always stay packed. :) Once I see food started disappearing from it, its time to hit wal-mart again. ;) Unfortunately, we haven't been able to cook much since the APU took a dump on us. The conviction oven we use to cook with and the appliances use...

This is inkasnana husband. We have a APU. The owner of the truck prefers us to go to a certain place. The APU has a cat engine in it, its a powerpac. The owner sends us to place where they work on cat engines. We have never had to go before, so I don't know what their knowledge is on the...

Yep, I remember Leo. Guess you can do a back up every time you go home. If your worried about important documents, you can do a back up online. There are many places you can do that at. Most all charge though.

Hence, thats why I'm not in a Sprinter any more, got tired of playing their game. Straight trucks are a little different, not by much, but I do better in a straight truck.

Ya, but it all depends on the amount of the fsc. Not all companies pay the same.

Here is a good link to read on about DAC reports and such. DAC Services: Who They Are, What They Do and How They Affect You!

I tried a sprinter for about two months. Couldn't wait to get out of it after a month. :o Its rough to be in one, unless you have a sleeper conversion put in it. And the cheap ones are rough to sleep on. All it is a thick foam you are laying on. I woke up every time with my body aching...

Yes, I agree, we found this out the hard way. We did the 60/40 split for a short period of time. It really depends on the truck also. We drive a Hino and going thru the mountains eats a lot of fuel. I remember one week, we were going back and forth from Michigan to South Carolina. We were...

Well, we tried a truck with just the batteries, no soler panels. Its fine if you are just sitting for a few hours, other than that you have to idle to charge them back up and that takes awhile. The guy who has been pushing this ideal onto the owners, told me to go driving around for a few...

haha, I've done a lot of work McCain probably wouldn't be proud of when I was younger. Between the ages of 14 - 16 I use to tromp greens. Which where a few guys get into back of a semi trailer, which is open on top (can't remember the actually name for it) and they have a cutter that which...

Well, from my understanding, with the gel batteries, we suppose to have 12-14 hours of juice to run the air conditioner, depending on how frequent it actually turns on. The new trucks that we will be getting, the sleepers will be better insulated, to help keep it cooler and warmer, which ever...

Wonder what Obama would look like with a little short mustache under his nose. :eek:

Well, we made adjustments for the decline rate. We got rid of home, which took about $2000 a month to keep up, which includes all the utilities, insurance, etc., We know stay at our daughter and son-in-laws in a guest room when we want to take a break from being on the road. At the same time...

Well, I think they need to stop people from coming working in our country temporarly for good. Number one reason I say that, my aunt and uncle had a business in Texas and they hired Mexicans that had visas to workin in the US. When I would visist I would talk to some of them and they always...

We are in El Paso, TX atm. I hope we get a load going that way. It seems every time the show comes about, we are always on the other side of the nation. :)
