    October Locations and Banter

    Got a call this morning from Mike J. encouraging me to get farther away from the storm...on L1's dime. So I'm working my to Charlotte. Did get a call about a p/u in Lynchburg going to FL. I declined...last I heard they were calling for up to 2 feet of snow up there.

    Relief Loads into hurricane effected areas.

    I have a couple of questions for those who have ran relief loads in the past to areas effected by hurricanes like Sandy. Katrina is the only one that comes to mind for me as being one that effected such a large area. Questions: 1. I would think that there is a lot of freight going into the...

    Super Thread : East Coast Storm info ONLY.

    The wind is going to be strong but not 100mph. The problem is that as slow as this thing is moving, it's just going to keep pounding with 60-70 mph winds. But still yet, the water is going to be NYC's disaster. TWC says every state east of the Mississippi will likely see some effect. Im not...

    October Locations and Banter

    Im west of Emporia, Va at I-85 and hwy 58 jct. If I move, I'll probably go south to Haw River. I wanted to go to Roanoke, but they're predicting up to 2ft of snow over there. I went out of service and got a room. I want to see what this thing is going to do before I'm in a position where I have...

    Multiple Choice Survey

    I have to say, it's nice to be leased to a carrier that sends very few messages across the qc. They will send a few of the fleet messages out, but not many. We also have the volume button that WORKS.

    Sitting in W. Memphis. One nibble yesterday. Debating whether to stop back by the house or just start heading north and east. Will probably just start driving...already been home!

    Fee Parking at Truck Stops...the new future?

    As long as the pay to park can be offset by a reasonable amount of purchases, it's not so bad. I would still use a free parking ts if available just to avoid the little bit of hassle. My hometown in AR was always plagued by lack of truck parking, especially on the weekends. Lots of folks in...

    New idea for generator mounting

    Somebody has already mentioned...they hang spare tires off the rear doors all the time. The generator and brackets might be a little heavier than a spare tire, but not much. If I were going to do it, I would access the inside of the door and use some re-enforcement from the inside where the...

    About Half-Done, I Reckon

    Those numbers are not out of line for a well maintained truck. I would think that 1.5 million is not at all too much to expect from a well maintained class 8 engine that has never pulled more than 50,000 lbs. With that said, you are nearing the lifespan of many of the peripheral parts on the...

    Mechanics creeper

    I found one at Autozone last time I was there that I like a lot for the van. It has a metal framework covered with some sort of mesh, it folds in half lengthwise and is lightweight. I really like it. For overall durability and supposedly will roll in gravel..."The Bone". At least that's what...

    a good electric fuel pump should have got the job done just fine. Not sure where to put the battery though? :D
