    new dispatch system @ the fed

    This idea sucks, I don't want to lose precious sleep being bugged by load offers I cant run anyway. Its bad enough being woke up by offers that are less than profitable in the first place. Expedite sucks, unless you are White Glove or whatever the pay isn't better than general frieght and...

    Comfort Pro APU BLUES!!!

    OH Yeah I forgot to mention that if it is warmer than 75 outside it cools like hot coffee. Also it has always been loud. It's noisier than my Drive engine. About the only positive thing I can say about it is the heater works good.

    allison transmission

    I have an Allison 3000RDS in my Hino its an Auto. My only complaint in the maintenance costs. You are supposed to change the fluid and internal filters every 50to70k miles which in an expedite truck will be about three times per year. The cost for this service is anywhere from about 300 to 500...

    carrier apu water pump

    engine coolant pump. all of the replacements have been done by carrier techs. Shouldn't they know how tight to make a belt. Even the original factory pump only lasted 750 hours. (but I guess that doesn't mean they did it right)

Believe it or not it is considered Fraud to sell somebody a vehical that you claim is in good condition while knowing it needs an overhual. However to establish the fraud will require...
