My resonator went out on my sprinter all I did was buy the part and replace it myself. Now I have a 2005 and only needed a screwdriver to replace the part. What I'll be doing soon is buying one of those resonator eliminators and will never have the problem of the plastic part ever breaking again.

Just looked at the ford web site and it says Summer 2014 for the van what a change from fall of 2013. Must be other problems then parts. Just maybe its the eco boost engines their having a problem with. Oh well I guess I'll be buying another sprinter next year. Won't be getting a Ford like...

Nothing planned for me, I just hope I get a load next Tuesday or Wednesday Because I'll be in Orlando till the 3rd, that is unless someone offers me one hell of a paying load going long for the weekend.

I stand corrected on my earlier posts.

Okay dispatch sad sit tight, but only for dry run pay. What happens if the customer says they won't pay a TONU. Then again the customer isn't responsible for his company telling him to sit tight, that's going to between driver and company. These are just my thoughts and could be wrong.

I'm I missing something, Moot said the freight was ready, but wouldn't fit thru the doors because it could not be laid down. In that case there would be no D-time just TONU. IMO

Because there are no exceptions except for certain types of explosive loads. There is no guidance needed for this break other then what is written below from the FMCSA C. No driving if more than 8 hours since last break of 30 or more minutes The final rule requires that if more than 8...

All the companies I was at after leaving LS, take to require me to give them 7 day notice to take time off. Now I never listened to them and took time when I wanted. That one of the reasons I ended back at LS, plus the fact that I work when I want and go where I want without any problems from...

Because LS has a yard for trucks about 10 miles away near the T/A off of I95, that is where were supposed to park overnight.

Re: Those of you that have 05-06 engines. What are your plans for California next yea Most are disqualifying the state because they cannot afford or aren't willing to upgrade their equipment to run Cali., that is their decision and I cannot find fault with their reasons.. That said, the few...

If you look on this site and others they also seem to not be able to take 1/2 hour break either. Plus I should add nowhere that I've worked has the 1/2 hour break for lunch has been paid the two 15 always were. Then i came to trucking where the companies want everything for free except driving...

Anyone who says they drive 11 straight hours without stopping are BS'ing everyone here and themselves. You need to stop sometime during the day to eat. Now it will be required to stop and have lunch with the 30 minute rule coming as of July first.

Did I miss something in your post, you say you reset over the weekend and unless you had to startt the day before 5am you both should have reset. Even if the other driver had to have a couple of hours more to get the reset they could have done that in the bunk as long as they didn't come on duty.

Zoory, you can take it at 5.5 hour mark which would take the break to the 6th hour mark and to hit the 14 is 8 hours later at which time you would either do a post trip or go off duty for 8 hours either one would be fine.

Unless you take more then one 34 hour restart a week you will not lose anything. Unless you never stop for anything lunch, pee break, the 30 rule won't affect you. Unless you violate the HOS the above wont affect you. This is JMO and you can take it or leave it. All is good

In SoCal looking for short loads, have a 8 day long range fishing trip for Saturday out of San Diego. Eight days on a 116 ft boat fishing for yellowtail and tuna. Life is good

You are correct and thanks for catching my mistake and that is why I posted the FAQ, because I seem to forget to add the actual rule sometimes.

Here are the FAQ. from the FMCSA's web site. C. No driving if more than 8 hours since last break of 30 or more minutes The final rule requires that if more than 8 consecutive hours on duty have passed since the last off-duty (or sleeper-berth) period of at least half an hour, a driver must...

The only loads that get the on duty exception are only if you need to babysit the load 24/7. 7) Can time spent waiting to be loaded or unloaded count toward the break requirement? Time spent waiting to be loaded or unloaded is on duty unless the driver has been released from all responsibility...
