    M11 Cummins

    What would cause the coolant system to build pressure, and leak out of the overflow tube? I had a oil analysis done the first of april, and no coolant was found in the oil. The system has been flushed, heater core acid washed, new hoses put on. Radiator cap replaced, ect. I also have a...

    RE: State Police Warning To ALL!! Please Read.... Probably is a myth.. In my case it was forwarded to me from a overly protective mother that got the email from a Indiana State Tropper. She still hates the fact that I left the factory to drive a truck.. LOL

    How to be a good team member??

    I actually think it's a deeper than just experience or not. Most have had experience. They have just been ruined by the thought that you run 6-8 hours from point A to B, then sit and wait for a day or so for your next load offer.. You know, we have to be at the truck stop by 7pm so that...

    How to be a good team member??

    TEC, The new HOS will not allow the 5 split.. You can run a 8/2 split, but running team, that doesn't work well either..

    How to be a good team member??

    I always let the team members pick the hours that they want to drive. So 8-8 was the hours that they picked.. The reason was because of less traffic, ect.. And that makes me think twice again. For me personally, I don't care if it's Brooklyn at 7am or Billings MT at 10 pm, a job is a job...

    How to be a good team member??

    I don't know if I am just an complete idiot or what anymore.. I lay out my expectations to people while at the house during our interview, and all of them seem to talk the talk, but can't walk the walk once on the road.. Is it unreasonable to expect someone to sit in a seat 11 hours out of...

    What have I done???

    I would wonder why you are getting a 60% split, and paying for maintenance? I am assuming that you are a sub-contractor driving for and O/O. And if this is infact that case, why are you paying for maintenance?

    OVM, I love that you put biker on the same list of drugs and gangs. Seeing that most of the "american motorcycles" sold today at the average cost of 17k are sold to a group that has been considered "upper-middle" class. The days of the classic motorcycle gangs are gone.. The largest...

    How New HOS Rules Affect Team Ops??

    When ever I run team, I set hours for the truck. Normally 7pm-7am, then the opposite driver works 7am-7pm. You will always be able to log 1 hour break during your 12hr shift. Such as loading, unloading, fueling, bathroom breaks, ect.. Even if not on a load, I try to stay on the same...
