HI This is the reason I never buy a vehicle the first year it comes out.We put too many miles on them in the first year to fit into the average maintanance schedules.It would be nice if the van builders would recongize us but they don't.By the end of the first year we have put on as many miles...

HI SCA's is Supplimental Coolant Additives.Fleetguard and Napa Cool are the two that I have used.Take the truck to a big truck dealer and have them test it.You can buy the test strips from Fleetguard but you get 50 of them and they are only good for 1 year.You'll use 2 of them and then throw...

Hi I talk to everybody who will talk to me.The good the bad and the ugly.We are all in this together.

HI Now how can you say PA is a boring drive. Thats where bambi dodging became a sport.And that rolling upturned pavment is just like the diptydos {sp}in Tough Truck Racing.I've often wondered how fast you'd have to go to become air borne. Try counting road kill or cops.There is usually...

HI Im still confused.Sorry.When you say they hold back your pay do you mean you hauled your first load on 01/01/06 and you normally would of been paid on 01/07/06 but instead you were paid for those loads on 01/14/06.Also how much are we talking here.Don't want actuall figures just a general...

HI Extended running below operating temp causes soot.If an injector isn't working then the cyclinder is operating below temp.because there is no fire in that cyclinder.MOst oils that are designed for deisel engines have chemicals that remove the soot.If you used a regular oil meant for gas...

Hi In my opinion Sprinters are destroying the expedite industry.Before the Sprinter came out 2 vans would of been called in to take these bigger loads or one 5 ton.The customer would of paided more to get the freight hauled and wouldn't of questioned it.Yes it's better for the customers but...

HI Less than ten years ago GM and Ford were reporting records sales and record profits. That all changed when the Republicans took over.You can bash Clinton all you want.The US had no debt, normal relations with our neighbors and the auto makers couldn't get the parts to the plants quick...

Hi Byesville OH. Local cop wrote more tickets in 4 hours than the sheriff wrote all year.Locals citizens put bumper stickers on there cars saying "Welcome To Byesville Your Under Arrest".Oddly enough Ohio has the same law as Texas or at least a similar law. Monroeville OH cop gave me a...

HI First let me apologize for being abrasive.I get to grumbling like a sleepy bear sometimes. Sometimes you just have to sit.It's the nature of the business.We can't force the shipper to give us freight.Expedited freight carriers charge premium rates, so shippers don't want to call us unless...

Hi You don't have to live close to the carrier.Heck me and Highway Star didn't even live in the same country as ours.The age of the vehicle could be a problem. Shop around and talk to the recruiters.Have a list of questions already written up. Don't be afraid to ask them the tough guestions or...

Hi Personally I feel that Espar heaters are the way to go.There compact and fuel efficent.I did the fuel saving calculations when fuel was at 1.87 and the thing was going to pay for its self in 9 months.With fuel at 2.50 it will probably pay for its self in 6 months.This is for an extended...
