    Repair work on a Sprinter, I need feedback

    I don't remember the cost but I had the same thing happen to one of our sprinters. Again, I don't remember what had to be replaced but the "gum" got as hard as steal and froze up some major internal parts to the point they had to be replaced. Not sure it was 9K but it was over 5K.

    What about Isuzu?

    I checked on getting a sleeper put on our Isuzu and it was going to be about 10K for a basic unit. They said they could do it but I don't see how with all the "stuff" that comes out of the engine compartment onto the back of the cab. They put everything you need to check on the rear of the cab...

    Rapid Service

    Don't focus on 72%. Focus on real $$. What is their average charge per mile? what is their FSC? what is their average length of run? what is their average deadhead %. Do they have a policy on dispatching company trucks vs. owner operators? Ask them for phone #'s of current o/o's. If...

    Criteria For Turning Down Loads

    I have a truck leased to FCC and they require a reason when you turn down a load. What are some of the things drivers put as the reason? I don't thing "you've got to be kidding me" is a good response.

    FedEx has a set fuel surcharge for E units. The pay it on ALL dispatched miles so I guess it all works out since FCC is paying it even when their is no customer to bill it to.

    Whats a C unit making

    Geo, I've got 2 sprinters with EGL and it seems all they do is make home deliveries. Its becomming difficult to find drivers to move TV's and book shelves for 35% of $11 a drop. I'd say 75% of their work is residential. Do you run into that at your EGL terminal?
