RE: Fuel Mileage on C10 Cat ?? Truck I'm going into holds a Cat C10 I'm told...do I need to know anything about this engine? Tranny is a 6 speed Eaton Fuller. Thanks, BigBus

Multiple things Ok, first I want to comment on that bus with the cargo box. I actually read the article where those photo's came from-very interesting...however it still leaves many questions unanswered...atleast to me it does. "Our prototype has been on the road since January 2001."...

RE: Hey: Wait a minute ! Yes, Rob...and thank you Rob. That is 30 to me, 70 to the owner. The owner is paying for everything though & I've already spoken with his other driver who speaks very highly of him. The truck has a shower, fridge AND freezer and FLUSH Toilet-that flushes into a holding...

Dreamer, click on that link of yours, then click on Race Teams at the bottom, then click Floorplans at the bottom, then click Aero-Condo Chief... that floor plan shows a 96" sleeper. The plan does not show a bed above the cab, so I'm thinkin' what may be is that there's a shower & bathroom...

Wow, thanks everybody for responding...honestly I thought this was kind of an unusual set-up, however it seems like it's a rather hot idea. I'm not planning on buying it, an owner has this kind of truck & has offered me a driving position in it as a solo driver-therefore I'd be the only one in...

Hi Mcbride, that's good to hear. This truck is a 2001 FL80 Crewchief with approx. 67K miles on it. I'm told the truck sports a 96" sleeper with a full bathroom-shower & toilet-and a bed over the cab. A 22 Foot cargo box, tag axle, & lift gate are on it as well. 6 speed Eaton Trans. in it I'm...

What's everybodies opinion on the "CrewChief", made by-yes, I'm gonna mention that name-Alumi-bunk. 2001 FL80 Crewchief, 96" sleeper with 22 foot box. Now, for those of you that don't know, the crewchief is like a small motorhome-or atleast this one I'm talking about is. The truck has a full...

Arky, when you go to Register at the show-you'll get a floorplan, the vendors should have a booth number on the show's site-maybeand/or when you get a program at the show. Get a name tag at registration & maybe put on it "driver for hire" or just "driver" or O/O or whatever you want-that...

I have to agree, just because there's a number of Panther II or Fed Ex CC trucks in one or two truck stops does not mean that those are not good companies. Esp. now with the 10 hours off-duty rule, those trucks sitting are more than likely solo drivers that have no choice but to sit. I've...

ok, I'm back. Panther II does not advance like FedEx CC does. I realize that the owners of a truck are not obligated to tell you much of anything-although they sure make themselves look alot better when they do tell you about things available to you-esp. like advances-those are things that...

First, it's not a van, it's a straight truck. 2nd, I did tell Panther what was going on-all they said was that they will have to talk to the O/O regarding this. Panther stated that some contractors set up different deals with the company. 3rd, Regarding Panther & advances...Panther advances...

In response to your ad... Lets just say a 775 mile trip at $1.30 per mile, that gives you about $1,000.00-which would give the driver the 40% advance up front he needed-with FedEx that is. How many 750 mile trips are offered to solo drivers in a straight truck at FedEx Custom Critical...

Let it be known...To drive for an O/O for Panther II Transportation-you must be able to cover your own expenses for the 1st (First) 3 Weeks-yes, three weeks. -That is if you are on a 60/40 split deal with the O/O.- That includes Fuel & Food for yourself...Figuring just for the fuel alone, at...

RE: What does everyone think of this as a back up Have you looked at the MPG between the cab over shaker you were considering & this Volvo? I'm gonna take a guess & say yes? The Cab Over as one person said so elequently has fuel mileage measured in Gallons Per Mile, where a Conventional will...

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso Very interesting & very educating, thank you Weave-as for your Detroit S60, thats what many busses I've driven have in them-they're great engines! tough & can stand up to alot thats thrown to them. Interesting about the FL 70 & 80's is many...

I'm still sticking to my MAG Lite. The Flare issue, I guess I think too much on the safety issue as I still drive busses from time to time. The gun issue, there's nothing wrong with it-I've had some BB guns & pellet guns & wished I'd had 38 in my cab when that snarling dog jumped up to my...

SpaceGhost, my suggestion...very simple: get yourself a Great Big MAG Lite, the biggest they make-or the 3 D cell Mag Lite. Personally I've used the 3 D Cell MAG Lite for many years...used it to fend off dogs(a few times too many), used it to give a security guard a concusion-he snuck up on me...

Boy oh Boy, I tell ya'll, bus drivers get the toughest crowds sometimes! Smile!

Seriously I'm looking for work Chet, if you know of an owner that needs a good driver I'm your man. About the spokesman remark...I was & still am on occassion a tour bus driver, who sometimes does narrate tours and/or talk on the mic-I tell 'em: even if you don't wanna hear me, your going...

Alright, for the 3rd time let me try this. I tried to include a link to the Kentucky Truck Show-it would not work. Truckingshow.com is the Kentucky Truck Show Web Site. Bring comfortable sneakers/walking shoes-you may think you'll look cool in your boots, but you'll be in pain (from all the...
