I have always been curious to know, what percentage of Panther is O/O's verses Fleet Owner's trucks? Or is this privileged information?

Phil, I guess I need to re-word what I said about pulling money from our reserves. What I should have said is, the high cost of fuel is coming off of our bottom line. When I look back, to when we 1st became owner operators, fuel was not even at $1.40/gallon but our cost of operation has...

BUT if they can do any of that, what is wrong with them talking to, visiting with, writing to their representatives or getting others involved in politics. Is there some affliction that they have that prevents them from speaking out? I know this is like a broken record with me but you know I...

First of all,thanks for the compliment, I always like being called an "idiot":rolleyes: This is part of the problem with this industry, people are so quick to start with the name calling, instead of dealing with the problem. Everone will b**ch and complain about the cost of fuel but no one is...

After reading the posting about the April 1st shut down and how the Cattle haulers are hoping more trucks will follow and the couple of articles on OOIDA, I can't help but wonder, how many driver's on here would be willing to park their truck for a few days? And I am not talking about blocking...

This is funny, only because while we were sitting outside the Flying J in Dallas today, and the manager was asking us about the shut down on April 1st - which none of the driver's heard about. When we asked him where he heard of this, he said it was on the news. So I guess this shut down is...

Ark, that is FANTASTIC news!:D:D You know what they say, there is power in numbers! We will keep you and your wife in our prayers. (along with your father-in-law)

Very funny Melaine!:p:p Craig, did you notice I left you out of this. Melanie just likes to be a smart azz!!:D:D Be safe and have fun in Canada!!

Without codes it will try your patience as techs are taught to follow the codes and very few are taught any more how to listen and think diagnostics. It's a shame really because they should be taught and are more than capable of learning, guess it doesn't pay. Piper, I think you say it best by...

Ark, Sorry to hear you have so much going on in your life. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Vinegar also works for sunburn.

Piper, Thanks for the come back. The 1st time the unit pump was replaced was at Detroit Diesel in CT, I would hope that their techs now what they are doing but that may be a stretch! The mechanic at Freightliner in Dunmore, PA thought it may be a bad part but since it started doing it again...

Best cure for poison ivy: Baking soda - using water, make it into a paste, apply to affected area and leave it dry. You will see a great improvement after one use. The only thing is, it can be a little messy. I suggest putting a towel or sheet down where you will be sitting - since it does flake...

They have done all types of tests on this truck and the only one that got any type of reading was Detroit Diesel in CT - that was when it showed the #3 injector was bad. The sad part was, after they replaced the injector and fired the truck, it was still making the same noise. So once again...

If there was a dealer that could tell us something different, believe me, we would be there!

I was wondering if anyone else with the MBE 900 has had any problems with your engine rapping (or like the dealer calls it - misfiring)? And if so, what was done to fix the problem? We have had to replace, both, the #3 injector and the unit pump, twice and we are still getting the...

Your welcome!:) And yes, to your question on the GVW - at least the ones I know of. Maybe someone can answer if there are any less than the 26000 lbs.

You would need a "Class B"

Here is another beer I didn't see mentioned: Genesee Cream Ale.

Our ProHeat had a loud rattle to it and when Jim took a look at it, the only thing wrong was we lost a bolt! Hopefully that is all that happened to yours.:p:p
