    truck repair and maint costs

    Our 2001 truck has almost a million miles on it. We have had miniscule problems with it. I will be the first to admit I personally know next to nothing about the mechanics of our truck but I do know that my spouse routinely replaces "thingys" that are not broken or what I perceive sometimes to...

    Expedite Expo 2007, Just Got Back

    We would like to thank EO for an outstanding Expo this year. It hard for us to remember back to that first Expo… which was a couple of tents erected outdoors in 90 degree heat at the Detroiter truck stop parking lot and the prizes were comprised of seat cushions, oil and LED lights. We have...

    Anti-Freeze Disappearing

    Our good friends have a 2006 M2 Freightliner, C-9 Cat engine and they just had the same type problem. Their truck would show the engine protect and even shut off a couple of times because the coolant got too low. Their problem was a hose by a shock in the engine compartment…the vibration of...

    Six of us left now...the two WG trucks got out...we have 120 hours of dwell and are now #2 after being #1 for the first 90 or so hours. lol Powers at be say there is nowhere they can send us. We may just leave for home...there really is no point in waiting anymore. -mcbride- --What goes around...

    I guess we will be in Phoenix for another day at least...a D surface unit was given a WG under 75 load-came back...and they now are a head of us...amazing. Perhaps, the J will let us put a mail box up here. -mcbride- --What goes around comes around--

    Back-up plan

    Yes, Hawk, great advice- We were absolutely blind-sided when Con-Way sold out. I wonder if the bad side, if there is one, of always worrying and having that contingency plan to go elsewhere is the feeling of being unsettled all the time. I hate say this as it sounds kinda corny but...we like...

    Who do we call?

    Lanier- I wonder just how many loads are available over 550 miles compared to those 550 or lower? I know as a D unit team we would love to have all our runs over 550 miles! Ideally they would all be over 1000 miles! That is the reason we are out here as a team living in our shoe box. We...

    Who do we call?

    In my humble opinion no solo load should be offered to a team when solos are available. Nothing is more frustrating than to see a team with more dwell take a solo load out of the same express I'm in and then have a team load come up that they DH a team in from a couple hundred miles away to do...
