I had the same experiance as Vernon. I spent some time with tech support (you have to get past the first level) got the bugs worked out, the software updated and my card has been working great. Sprint will be cranking up the speed soon, but you should be connecting at speeds of 115.2 or better...

I played with a serius radio at a truck stop last night. I like the music line up better. Do they also play comericals on the music channels? Have DJ's that like to talk? If I am going to shell out money for comercial free. I want comercial free. Talking DJ's are free on fm. I already dropped...

actually, the DT466 his a higher RPM engine. The two trucks I spoke of at our company run 2450 RPM at 65 MPH, has not seemed to hurt either one of them, the one is aproching 750,000 miles with out major work. I think that is where international designed them to get the most MPG's. My Mack runs...

This is from the boys in the coop in WI. A truck with a GVW of LESS than 26001 that is equpited with air brakes CAN be operated with a standard drivers license. Not sure why, even the officer was confused. I mean, air brakes are air brakes. I guess it is because the newer systems need less...

That figures. They lose nascar to serius and they raise the rates. I am *still* waiting for the no comercial music channels. Sure, theres no comercials for other companines, but the family plan spots, black history month spots and other misc spots they run are still in my opinion comercials. And...

ebay has all sorts of listings for track and straps. hooks and everything. price shop, you never know where you might find a good deal.

I use PC miler streets for most everything. I have noticed my copy is getting a bit out dated because a lot of the new industrial areas are not in it. However it has always been good to me although a little slow on my PII 300 if the detail level is to high. I am probably going to get their...

your not kidding about drivers with B's and hazmat being in big demand. I stopped by the house to empty the mail box today. There was all sorts of mail from recuiters trying to get me to team with other drivers. Problem is, if I am gonna live in a 48 to 98" box with someone, I want to know them...

I saw a all types van once.... It was in the breakdown lane on I90 in Ohio. about 25 minutes later he passed me like a man on a mission (80-90 MPH) and headed north to Detroit. The van was a early 90s Ford. Not sure when they stopped using amber in the tail lights, but this one had them, and my...

RE: Wannabe's a lot of the trucks on www.trucksforsale.com are rebuilt wrecks. The owner is also known to buy trucks off e-bay to resell on his lot. Our company has 2 trucks from them, and I think it will be the last 2. One is a FL70 with the freightliner sleeper (that little tiny worthless...

This is a great lesson in expediter repair. Down time costs, so get it fixed right the first time ;) The mechanic that repaired it the first time should have told you to replace the whole thing, or at least warned you that it would need to be replaced. I have cobbled things together to get back...

I use to run a 01 and a 97 both with the DT466E's in them. The 97 has just turned 785,000 miles with out being opened up. Still sounds good, but well.. shes tired. Still gets 9.5 to 11 depending on the foot on the peddle. It's a company truck so it is governed at 67. That makes a HUGE...

They just build a new Loves on I90 right before the tollway near the WI/IL boarder. It is great, did my 10 there last night and that is saying something because I *hate* truck stops. The main reason I pulled in is there 200 dollar 2000 watt inverter. I needed one, might as well get a big one :)...

we all gotta do our 10 hours at some point :) why not do it with company? And if it did have a effect on frieght, I would think the net result would be a higher offer.. hey, maybe we should do lunch more offten? Glad to see I am not the only one that is up at 4 something in the morning EO...

I am sure it is a neat sleeper, but all I see is a red X.. guess the new server is having issues now too :(

Say someone asked me who I worked for in a private message but the only e-mail address in the message was "[email protected]" It's a small local gig called Western Delivery. We do a lot of intown stuff, hauling mainly medical stuff from the air ports and canceled checks to the large...

Same here, beats waiting around for the phone to ring :) although it did finely ring last night. Ran a hazmat load to Duluth Minnesota from Saint Paul. Not very far, about 150 miles but we know how to charge for hazmat :) The load was so large two vans had to haul it. It was radio active and the...

RE: Is there something for expeditors like getload They are not worth the 35 bucks. I gave them 4 months, we had a 5 star account (verified dot and what not) what few expedited loads did show up that a D unit could take where offering less than 1 dollar per mile, I think in 4 months I counted 5...

There is 20 of us at one company in Saint Paul, 7 straight trucks, and 15 vans (some of us own both).. Now if we could just drum up some more work. Drive on!

Try state farm, that is who I have my van insured with.
