    Ford E-350 Water Pumps

    Wanted to try and get more responses to my question on how long your water pump lasted miles wise, if you own a Ford E-350, 5.4 gasoline engine. Please respond via private message. Thanks. I currently have 437K and still no sign of a leak.

    Van to Dock Ramp

    there's a product attachment for a fork lift that attaches to the fork that goes down and out with 2 fork blades that can lift out outskids but I only saw one facility that had one. The other thing you can do is carry web slings that can be placed under and over the skid and put the loops of the...

    Gas pump shuts off...

    Did you ck the rubber hose that goes from the mouth from the filler to the tank in which there are no kinks in it? I have 2008 Ford Econoline, and I always have to pump on slow setting or the pump will click off. I think its just the shape of the design of the Fords that the fuel gets backed...

    Work Accident Insurance

    I haven't as far as a B unit. Our insurance carrier is one if the largest available and i doubt you'll beat our fleet rate, If you go with another carrier you'll be paying the individual rate unless your a member of a trucking assiciation.

    Staying warm this winter?

    I also have a Honda 2000 watt generator, and I carry a small electric space heater to plug into the generator. Works fine. I'm never cold in the winter.

    floor in cargo van

    Go to a Truck supply store. In the yellow pages or online look up freight securement systems. Then get Etrack straps or E track loops. The loops can be used with rope or hooked Securement straps. Plywood Flooring can be used over the mats. Liquid nails sounds like a good idea or you can use...

    Strange

    only the C link dept would know about that. The dispatchers and CC won't know about that stuff. A couple of times I had updates and thats how it works. It appears to shut down etc. Totally normal.

    Freight disappearing

    They signed more B units anticipating a strong economy for 2012. I'm out of Wilmington DE and they usually call 2-3 times a day, mostly for loads picking up 100 mile away. Sometimes I take them, sometimes I don't. Depends on how many trucks are ahead of me in the centers surrounding me. The...

    Waiting for predispatch info.

    Like it was a said before its a good idea to call in and get the pu info as soon as you're predispatched. The 01 macro won't work until the current load POD is enetered into their system, which they do themselves. Your 07 POD you send isn't in their system until they enter it. Its the same for...

    Ford E350 water pumps

    I have a 2008 Ford E-350 with 400,000 miles. Would like to hear from other drivers with the same type of B unit that had their water pumps replaced and at how many miles. If I get a good idea when they go I will replace it before it goes to avoid the extra expense of breaking down on the road.

    Dry Run Pay

    Its always been like that. If the customer isn't charged than you won't be paid a dry run pay. If a customer calls up before 90 minutes of scheduled pu than they won't be charged. If you enroute to the pick up and the 90 min isn't a factor you should be paid, if they say don't leave for pu...

    How Are the BR-units Working Out?

    Why not to get a BR based on the original owner of the first units I talked to when fedex said I was chosen to have an option to get in on them. 1. Fedex salespeople aren't even selling the BR to its customers. 2. Freight is only in the Northeast now. Only 30% of the loads offered are...

    Qualcomm Costs

    I sent #2 Jason F a letter and asked them if they ever looked into intergrating Droids or Blackberrys into their sys instead of using this 80's technology of Qualcomm's. As a non white glove b unit I don't need to transmit temps of a box. I don't expect any change. Fedex buys the qualcomms...

    health insurance??

    rates depend on the state you reside in. I'm based in NJ and its the highest in the country. All my ehealth quotes are outrageous. I pay $566/mo just for myself 70/30 (I pay 30%) with a 2500 deductable. I'll pay more next year because in this state the co's can charge based on age. I'll hit 60...
