I still see the trucks and drivers out here in Indiana. I thought they closed up shop also. All I know is we are going to have a glut of yellow sprinter vans soon LOL

What's wrong with Hino? From what i hear they get great mileage and are dependable(Hino is Toyota). Also how are the Chevy Kodiak trucks or the Ford F650's? I can get plenty of information on Freightliner and International but seem to hit a wall on the other trucks available. Is there any...

Unfortunately, "Sulley" will have to retire in three years. He is 57 years old and has mandatory retirement at age 60. I think they should look at physical health and not age. Hopefully his talents will be put to good use, maybe in the FAA or as a teacher. Personally, I'd rather have him...

Excuse my ignorance and getting off the subject, but what is a comdata card and how does it work?

Someone was reading the archives. I have brought up old threads accidentally

Cool, just didn't want you to mess up the washer system in your truck. Also, I believe years ago when they used a different ink in the newspapers, it would actually polish the windshield. Now they use soy ink mostly so it probably doesn't work the same, but the paper is still good for cleaning.

Great, that might be a good alternative for me since I'd only be out occasionally. I don't really want to invest in a condo for two nights out per week.

I think but am not positive you just pour the coke on the windsheild, cleans the bugs an gunk off good. I don't think you add it to the resevoir. It would go flat in there anyways. Just don't want you to add a can of coke in there. Correct me if I am wrong. Also, an old firefighter trick...

I like the new wiper blades that don't have any pressure points especially in snow and ice. They are kinda pricey though and don't last much longer than the regular wipers. I might run regular in the Spring and Summer and the pricey ones in the winter

Okay, I have been doing lots of research. Does one of those extended cab trucks from International or Freightliner(cab is extended 26") qualify as a sleeper for DOT purposes? The trucks do have a divider curtain and a mattress back there.

I second the Rain-X washer fluid, great stuff Also carry a safety pin and clean out nozzles when needed, you can also aim or re-aim the nozzles where you like them

The plane hit a flock of geese, The pilot landed the plane with no engines, he made the right choice landing in water. Amazing!!!

Will this additive work in straight trucks also?

I'd really like to run the local but am up for some long runs. I don't really want to invest in a sleeper truck for two night a week out

I was going to join OOIDA if I decided to hop aboard, but if they will help me with the contract that is $25.00 well spent The pay structure I posted is for the out of town/state runs they also pay per drop for local. Ceva has just started up the expedite arm of the company, before that I...

Okay, I got the lease agreement. It's about 18 pages long and written in legaleze. Has anyone taken their lease to a lawyer to have it looked over and if so how much would that cost?

I have a Garmin 250W and love it. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the newer ones but the maps are the same. I heard the newer ones have lane assist which would be really nice in the larger cities. I would think between the Garmin and the Road Carrier atlas you would be set in my...

The lease would not be thru the company I'd be leasing from Penske, Ryder or Idealease or whatever companies lease trucks. Personally I think leasing a car is a ripoff but the idea of all maintenance and breakdowns being coverd on a truck sounds appealling as big trucks can cost big money to...

Why not wait six months and call her again. From what i hear it's a bad time to jump into this business and it may pickup by summer. Six months really isn't that long Jan-Mar is always slow

*ask the recruiter for phone # of at least 3 owners I know and have talked to two O/O's they seem happy one does more local work though can get a third contact though ** no sleeper - you will have to show a hotel receipt for every night out . I am hoping to get more local with a few...
