This works! An hour before your DOT Physical soak your feet in very warm water. As hot as you can stand it without being burned. A bathtub is best. As the water cools you can replenish with more warm water. I lowered my top number by 10 points doing this. I had a doctor's appt before my...

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.

I still have the old Clink system and have heard the new units draw a lot more juice than the old units. I just talked to 1 B unit driver that while parked after 40 minutes it drew his battery down enough where he couldn't start the engine. He said his battery was in good shape. Anybody else...

The brilliant minds in Green OH had another brainstorm. If you arrive in a center you dwell time now means nothing within that center. Oct 18 I ck'd into Nashville and was the only unit ck'd of any size that Sunday. I'm a single B unit, I didn't have a >75. On Monday sometime a single B unit...

If your driving single in a B unit and would like to try to increase our crippling 700 mi load limit write Jason Frederick directly with pen and paper. I've done this twice and he brought the subject up at the Safety Board meetings but the Board shot it down twice. If a number of us let the...

I thought I'd start a thread for B units here since we have a different experiance than the large trucks. Are you starving out here like I am? I've posted instructions on how to see all the Customs Critical loads online without any log in requirements at fedex.com I've been doing this for 2...
