Cargo they replaced the tranny with no questions? I have about 55k now and my friend Dan had the same problem. He changed both the fluid and then the filter and that seemed to do the trick, no more chattering. I had the fluid changed only which didn't help at all and now will go have both...

Breakfast Pizza is my favorite and if you do one at home you can freeze individual pcs and heat them up in the micro. I buy a ready cooked large crust from the local store. It is ready browned and no need to cook, but those more ambitious can cook their own. I fry up a pound of bacon and chop...

Hi Redytrk, I tried the verizon navigator for a few days and really liked it, however it will burn your battery quickly if you use it thru your phone and if you do not subscribe to the package, you will be charged your minutes. They quoted me the whole package at 19.99 a month so make sure you...

RE: No bashing, a little advice to X-Conway Now Ow > Google (or your favorite search engine) Drivers Daily Log >:) Cheri, thanks, will google....:)

Hello, the way we are getting paid we get 25 cents per mile over what a normal load pays. That is for all miles, not just reefer miles so we figure at the base extra cost of 16K we figure on an avg of 100k paid miles per yr on avg so it on a very basic level will pay for itself in less than a...

dark, hey hi. I heard the day cab 338's haul 53 footers, haven't seen one yet. Maybe just last minute worries. On the rear gear, the dealer called and emailed Hino, they approve the lower 5. gear but nothing lower than that on the autoshifts, they are testing the lower (higher?) gears but...

Okay folks I have another question, has anyone heard of or seen a Hino with a Tag or Push Axle? If so how does it perform? Are there any problems that anyone knows of? Just asking. We already have one being put together with a tag axle, reefer and lift gate. Just wanted some input from...

Hey On another note, how do you do with the reefer and lift gate? We are getting one and would appreciate what we could expect as far as load opportunities, yearly gross. Percentage that you haul reefer freight? Any help would be greatly appreciated! We are buying the proheater, hope we...

Don't know if you heard about this project in Rochester NY but it was a huge and extremely expensive FLOP! They renovated the entire inlet area and while I am sure the community loves the changes for the better we went in the hole for over 40 mil AFTER the ferry was sold to someone who is going...

I started as a Roberts Express Driver in '97 thru '02. I never made under one dollar per mile, and one banner year I made 27k between mid Sept and Christmas. I thought I was rich! Things however slowly changed and it seemed as the cliche began, they had a van on every corner. By '02, my...

Yeah, I got one of those memory mattresses from Wally World and it works great, also cut it to size with an electric knife and then topped it off with an egg crate type topper. Have a select comfort bed at home it IS wonderful but cost prohibitive in a van...tried one of those double high twin...

Hey Alvin, how are ya? I compared apples and apples, and was still way ahead with Rush. In fact the box is a Hercules, refer box and that is top of the line compared to a Morgan which is what the "other" guy spec'd out. So we are happy with the choice. With the extra $ saved, we are adding a...

Stupid or Simply uninformed or misinformed would be my guess in many "stupid cases" Ran into a poor ConWay transplant who thought that the "available" on the relocation screens (macro #8) meant how many loads were available in a given area, not how many drivers/trucks were available. Poor guy...

RE: Straight Truck with Reefer/lift gate opinions Thanks all for your posts....We are going with the lift-gate, and will probably try special services with one company first and see how we do. They all pay differently and we've heard anywhere from 160k+ up to well over 200k per yr gross. I...

bryan excellent idea, that is what I did with my straight truck before I sold it, had a team-mate who smoked way too much, like 4 packs a day and even though I smoke one pak a day, I wouldn't get any sleep smelling the smoke. So...I took out the curtain, built a frame up against the cabinets...

Garman, which sleeper co didn't return your call or email? I am working with Weldon sleepers out of Ft Worth, they've been very accomodating so far..... sorry for your trouble:(

Dark, I went to Churney's and they came in with a price 20K higher than Rush Trucking did. I therefore went to Rush. And am happy. I understand a smaller dealer cannot get the incentives that very large dealerships can. I understand once you get the Hino, there is a nationwide network that...

On the air bed post, I tried one of those, and it was winter and the air mattress got soooo cold I froze even in my sleeping bag....just wondering how it worked out for anyone who has had to use it in the dead of winter? I finally found a very comfortable mattress at Wallyworld, it is one of...

RE: lease needed? 1 truck owner adding driver to m Straightcruisin, well I agree with some of the posts and some not....Getting a co-driver will be good for your bottom line and good for a co-driver. Personally I paid a straight 20% of what the loads paid minus the fuel surcharges. I paid for...
