    Stopping the reverse beeping on the transit

    Hi, everybody just bought a new fancy transit van. One thing don't like is when every it's in reverse it makes a loud beeping noise. Any body out there figure out how to turn it off or where the speaker is for it. Until I figure it out sorry everybody for waking you up in the truck stops

    How Did You Discover Expediting ?

    Drove a semi for Millis for 2 years loved the lifestyle hated the all the regulations, no where to park, and forced dispatch. Always saw the the vans in the truck stops. Seemed like the logical choice.

    What methods do you receive load offers by?

    I used to work for bolt. The thing that they did that would piss me off is wake me up at 8am for a 700 mile load that would pick up at 4pm deliver direct. Great now that I'm up at 8am I'm sure I'll be super tired at the end of this delivery

    Do you want me to make you aware???

    Well I guess everybody must be as confused as I am over this. I wonder if Panther is aware that they are habitually asking there drivers a question that none of them understand.

    Do you want me to make you aware???

    "Do you want me to make you aware." This is question that is asked a lot by dispatchers, and it has always puzzled me. What happens is a dispatcher will call you telling you that they have sent you a load. And they go on to tell you, it picks up here, it delivers there, these are the loaded...

    I've been using a space heater and a Honda 2000 for 5 years. The trick is insulation. I have a 700/1500 watt space heater. Even at zero degrees I only use the 700 setting. You will go through 2 gallons in 12 hours though. So and external tank is needed.
