A low-wattage night light may help,too...you could switch one of the bulbs in the sleeper to a blue or red-just a thought-

There should be a sticker on the door jamb stating empty weight and max loaded weight(8600# in your case).Check your owners manual,too,and also do as Dreamer says,about going to a certified truck scale.Remember that your load has to be balanced properly ,too,so as not to overload your tires and...

By the way-I don't promote any of the above mentioned companies,just responding to the post,as two of the four I would have nothing good to say about.Thanks.

TEST PHOTO--

I know of at least four here in the Milwaukee area that have company trucks/drivers along with owner/operators.They are Taylor-Made Express(Oak Creek),Jung Express(Milw.),Bonded Messenger Service(Milw.) and Action Express Inc.(Milw).While not all may be true "expedited" companies,they do have a...

I have not been on a team run in a truck for over two years-but here is my input:FIRST-YOU MUST HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN YOUR CO-DRIVER,you need to trust his driving, you need to know that HE is rested enough not to doze-off;you need to be sure of a signal when stopping for fuel or toilet...

Glen is correct in suggesting the Power Service brand.That has been my number one choice,too.What you really need to start with is a high quality,name brand fuel from a high volume dealer... Paul

MrandMrs-have you checked your E-mail? I sent you something earlier today

Have you lost a lot of weight?-just kidding-Have you changed fuel brands or driving habits? Other than that,with 175,000 miles,it's probably just a blip,but at least it's one in your favor.Other factors include,but are not limited to,tire pressure,alignment,various changes in mechanics of the...

I seem to always get the same error message when I try to post a photo.I meet all the size and type requirements,but cannot upload/download any pictures.I keep getting in-person and E-mail requests for pictures of my van,but only get frustrated when trying to post or send them through E.O.(they...

I don't know if there is anything "typical" as far as how many miles or rate of pay-read through the posts here and you can get a general idea.As for myself,I contract a cargo van(Ford E250EXT) with a local Milwaukee trucking company and command a minimum rate of .90/mile or 60% of the freight...

I applied at Jung Express in mid August.The owner is a friend of a friend of mine,and used to be a contractor at the same company that I am currently with.I was told that Jung has recently purchased several 2005 International straight trucks with sleepers(only 36"or 42"),and that they are to be...

I built my own fold-up 32" bunk,attached to the bulkhead panel and installed E-track to the floor using a base of 5/8" plywood and a top layer of 3/8" plywood(the height of the E-track)with the E-track in-layed,fastened by wood screws. The plywood does not need to be fastened to the floor,but...

Thank you in advance for your help.I am wondering how closely companies watch the online applications that are sent to them.I ask this because I have sent four online owner/operator driver applications(all to companies through Expediters Online),but have not received any responses,even though...

Human nature tells us to always be polite,especially when encountering someone who is stranded.In a situation like you have described,just say"NO".If this seems rude,it is,but these people usually know that you are on to them and will find another victim.I have told these types that I never...

I have filed an application with Jung Express and am looking for feedback from anyone who drives for them or knows other information (good-or-bad)about them.I would be putting on a van with them.Thanks...

I have a 2002 Ford E250 extended van in which I have installed a 32" retractable sleeper. I have 98" of cargo space when the sleeper is down,and 10 1/2 feet when it is folded-up,hinged to the bulkhead panel.Most of my freight is delivered direct,and then I am able to set up my sleeper for the...
