All my life people asked me "why so sad man?" eheheheheheheheh just an ol six string slinger from a juke joint.

Its not a new idea. As said by others, yeah we have carried them. Both dry ice and self contained refrigerated models. What stuck in my mind was the fact that the shipper who wanted to use these containers also wanted them shipped on a temp controlled truck. So we loaded the refrig units and...

"great play of life", now THAT is funny bater.

Well, I for one would rather it be XPO vs ABF. eX Panther Operator sounds better to me than Another Bought Feline. Good luck with any changes.

Hi zorry, it must have been for the APU. The Thermo King shop is right next door to Stoops. That made orientation on the unit easy. There isnt a camera system on this truck. We did have a camera system from Dennis on the Columbia. It broke down with-in the first year. We had it repaired twice...

Hi Linda, thanx for the info. My Linda has been buying plastic boxes and bins ever since we learned we were getting a new ride. So she has, like you, put many of her items inside a clear sided plastic container for ease of getting at things. We never put the bed up so we use that space below for...

Hi Phil, the Thermo King is new to us as we had Carrier before. It is a T1000. According to Thermo King a newer model reefer which has less moving parts so maintenance and noise is less. The first load wasnt a reefer so we have only experienced the reefer as we acquaint ourselves with it. With...

Linda and I went to Fort Wayne on Tuesday the 24th to pick up our new ride. It took several weeks longer than expected. Man it was tough cleaning all the nose and finger prints off everything and drool was EVERYWHERE (thank God the bed was up )from all of the visitors to the Fedex booth that...

Being Polish I would like to visit that market. On a side note, while being stranded in Ottawa Linda and I rented a car over Easter weekend and did the tourist thing. There is a great market area called Byward market. It is huge covering 6 or 8 blocks with outdoor vendors and many pubs and fine...

All deliveries are done via helicopter.;)

Bummer. I dislike cancelled runs, but, that would have been over $1000 dry run pay for us.

Currently there is a post asking if there are any honest fleet owners. I want to express our thanks and appreciation to the owner of the truck we drive. I mentioned in another thread that we are broke down in Ottawa. At great expense he is having the parts overnighted to the dealer in Ottawa...

A tour of Ottawa is being scheduled. Gotta make do with the hand thats been dealt.

Thanx Joe. It is a pain in the hind quarters to me but I can roll with it, HOWEVER, Linda is not a happy camper at this time. But, this too shall pass.

Yep, 07 Columbia. This was just about the last run we were doing in this truck. Our new ride was the show truck in the Fedex booth at MATs. We were waiting for the tag and clink to be installed........sigh.

How about this, on load yesterday, blown rear end, 5 to 8 DAYS for parts.............in Ottawa.....eh.

Wow, what a difference a few weeks make. The last three times at the TA in Ontario the front lot was jammed, overflowing, just saturated with expediters. There were tall ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones.........but, on the 16th of March............THREE Fedex D or DR units were in the...

Eheheheheh I crack myself up. Okay here are a couple of pics of the truck. I am in the drivers seat. I was torn between the two trucks. But we eventually settled on the plain ol white one.;)

Well we made it to our first MATS. Louisville is a very nice town. Linda and I always wanted to stop and spend some time here. At last we have. The show is huge. We walked the entire inside exhibits. Took us 8 hours. Man were my dogs barking after that. Got a great yardstick from the...

Mrzz Bluz and Mr Bluz dropped in Columbus this morn. Havent accepted a load as of yet. May be the year to take in the REALLY BIG SHOW. Oh as an added incentive, our new ride is the DR unit in the FEDEX booth. We are looking forward to switching trucks. Please, stop by and look at it, oooooh...
