    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    You are right, I am one of the highest paid, but when the majority of the loads I am offered are less than 200 miles loaded and some of them have 300 and up miles deadhead, no wonder I am making 300 to 400 a week. Well, last week was the highest week I had this year. I made over $900 :eek: I...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    Are you sure of that? I would like to talk to one of them that didn't sign the new contract. I was told that I either sign the new contract or I am gone. Finally I signed it, to see how it will work out. Well, it isn't working for me, so I will 'move on' shortly. Sorry for the off topic....

    EO Works!!

    Yep, it is cool to meet other EO people. A few days ago I finally got to meet Rlent. We were talking for about an hour only and then the darn C-Link beeped. In this day and age you just cannot refuse a decent load, so I had to go, but I wished that I didn't get a beep.... Such is life sometimes.

    Pro Numbers

    Got me thinking, and went and looked to see where the loads are picking up, and this is my take on it. Since I picked up a bunch of 2xxxx loads at the same places (like ppg) but the 5xxxx loads are always somewhere else, makes me think that the 2xxx are contract loads and 5xxxx are loads that...

    Pro Numbers

    What is the difference between the pro numbers that start with 2xxxxxxx.x and 5xxxxxxx.x? Prior to this year I used to do about 90% of the ones starting with 2. This year has changed. I do about 80% of the 5's.

    The annual EO awards are here!!

    Another award: The person who did the most innovations to the truck: RLENT I know that there are others with highly modified vehicles, but RLENT does all the work himself. Great fountain of knowledge he is.

    Year over Year Comparison

    A lot of deadhead miles. It does not matter where I am, it takes 2 to 3 days, sometimes even more to get another load. If you catch the weekend somewhere in there, it is even more. Like right now (thurday morning), I delivered around DC. I checked everywhere around here. It is either full of...

    proper tire pressure on vans?

    I also am a member of the 'max pressure written on the tire' club. I run 80 psi in all tires on my sprinter, first set of Michelin LTX A/S lasted around 170k if I remember correctly. I have 105k on the second set.

    Oh My great Sprinter

    OVM, Congrats on the achievement. I consider mine to be a great vehicle also. 275k so far, no major problems. I had the turbo resonator replaced under warranty a while ago, an EGR valve at around 180k, water pump recently. Brakes are still original, still some life in them, but I will replace...

    Oh My great Sprinter

    I don't know about other 'heads', if you try to remove a glow plug on a sprinter engine when it is cold, you will break the glow plug and then you need to buy another head.

    Advice for Carrier Executives

    ATeam, I agree with you 100%. And unfortunately this is what I heard in the conference call yesterday with our dear company. Such a waste of time those 30 min were.
