small world..... Thought I would go ahead and post on this thread because I think it's pretty unique. I had read the original post and since my wife and I are with Landstar thought I would send a private message to the writer. We had completed a run to Smyrma, TN then went to a truck stop...

RE: And Still More Things to Learn in Your First 9 When I did my OTR training back in 1994 there was a time we stopped for a few hours at Cabela's in Sydney, Nebraska. I was really impressed by the fact that they had nice truck parking. That was my introduction to Cabela's which is now a huge...

We have all heard the old joke that goes something like this..."you can find me at the truck stop in one of the expediter trucks... the white one." Sure, sure I know there are LOTS of expediter trucks that are not white and we have all seen them, either on the road or in nice pictures. But you...

Here is another thought... and that's all it is ..not saying it is right or wrong. Although our truck (a D unit) does have cruise control, I never use it even though I am really tempted to kick back, relax and turn on the cruise... Here is the reason: Quite often I see a truck that has...

I think this subject has probably come up a few times before...There are a lot of things to like about expediting. Perhaps for you it is the freedom. Maybe it's that you get to see parts of our great country that you never would have otherwise. Or is it the excitement of finding out what you...

Can someone tell me where to buy air and fuel filters for my Pro-Heat generator other than just looking up Carrier dealers? Does anyone know the name of the place in Grand Rapids, MI that works on Pro-Heat? Thanks for the help..

I would appreciate a few thoughts from those of you with some experience that might be helpful with the following: My wife and I run team in a 2000 Freightliner Century. It has a Cat C-10 in it and we have been very faithful to maintain it carefully. It now has over 800,000 miles on it and...

Prof: I grew up just down the road at Belleville (not Bellview as mentioned by someone else) and although I have not lived there for many years my wife and I sometimes park our D unit in the Wal-Mart just north of I-94 on Belleville Road (mile marker 190). There are also some places to eat at...

Mike: I work for a different company but thought I would give you a shout anyway... Just saw your message and it is now Monday afternoon. Anyway, if you are still at the TA I would encourage you to head south, at the I35/35W split, stay on 35W about twenty more miles to mm 65. On the east...

RE: Transporting a truck im buying from another st A couple of years ago, we purchased a truck in Ohio, drove it to Texas (our home) then to Illinois before we went into service with the truck. I do not remember all the details regarding the plate, etc. but I DO remember that at one scalehouse...

On another expediter website there is a box in the classified section. It is an old ad (aug of 2005) but who knows it might still be there. It is a 22 ft box and it is in Pensacola, FL. Price is $1200. The name on the ad is Chris Rufner. Might try running down a phone number. Good luck...

My wife and I have a 2000 Century Class (bought it used) which has Eaton Fuller ten-speed auto-shift. The transmission and rear end in this truck have synthetic oil in them. When (or how often) does this oil need attention? Thanks for your help. :) :) :)

Hey! Someone is using my material!:7 :7 :7 ..Below is a copy of a post I made on May 6.... The thread started out talking about price gouging then went to Volkswagens (??).. Sorry, but I can't help myself.. I had a VW back in the "good old days". I put on a different carburetor that was...

Leo: Glad to hear it was a "simple fix" this time..... I have a question for you (or anyone else who cares to answer). ... We have a truck with a Pro-Heat unit. It was on the truck when we bought it (used). It works fine in the winter but it is not cooling properly. Do you have some dealers...

RE: Volkswagen Tales was RE: Truckstop gouging Sorry, but I can't help myself.. I had a VW back in the "good old days". I put on a different carburetor that was supposed to save 30% on fuel, a different distributor that saved 25%, super plugs that saved 10%, a small turbo-charger that saved...

We have a 2000 Century Class with a lot of miles (over 600,000) on it. It has a small vibration in the front end. We have good steers, almost new shocks and centramatics. I am convinced we must have some wear on some of the front suspension parts. Where can I take it to find the exact...

There is a frame shop next door to Fyda Freightliner in Columbus, Ohio that stretches tractors on a regular basis for Fyda. Fyda usually has two or three of these on their lot that you can look at as examples of their work. Don't have their name or number but you can call Brandon Creek or one...

Yesterday, Thursday, April 7 my wife and I made a pickup at Orangeburg, SC and headed north late in the afternoon. At approximately the 5 mile marker on I-77 north of Columbia, SC we caught a glimpse of a FECC D Unit being towed south. It had damage on the front and/or fire. Not really sure. As...

It is my understanding that they have a year requirement when you first sign on (don't recall what it is) but once you have a truck rolling with them, they will not force you to remove it as it gets older, as some companies do.

We bought a used truck that has a reefer and liftgate. The liftgate has been very useful but with our company, Landstar, the reefer has been more trouble than it has been worth. We have had very few temperature controlled loads even though the recruiter said we would really be "in demand" with...
