Sounds like it might be time to talk to management. What you are offering is win/win strategy to me. Talk it over with the highest person on the food chain you can get to talk with you.

I hope it does work out for you. It ain't over untill you have there money in your hand. Just be careful thinking this is all settled. Do you have a claim number, are you recording your conversations? At least keep a jornal of everytime you call and of course who you talked with. Caution is the...

Time to add another battery, I recommend a deep cycle gel filled battery with an isolator to protect the van battery from discharge. This is an RV piece so easy to acquire. Good Luck and stay warm.

Thank you Dreamer for putting into words the thoughts of so many of us. When I started to write my thoughts on the same matter I was embarrassed how I was sound a little over the top myself. We got a good thing here, and I for one do not want to see it go down the tubes! Thanks again.

I would cotact the manufacturer and see if they would want to use you in an add for there littl elife saver? Can you say "Hollywood"? Seriously that would make a great product endorsement. Just goes to show how fast your life can change! One other thing, did you see that Leyman liftgates makes...

Great posting Raceman. The truth is always hard to right about and you did a wonderful job explaining just how easy it is to go backwards in this business. I've always said a driver can either make you or break you! I'm sure your drivers, including yourself are taking it easy on the equipment...

If you are willing to work hard and stay out to give it 100% as a team I might be able to direct you to a owner you could talk with. If you're interested please write me on the private side of EO. Good luck.

If you want to slow that engine down a bit, the next time you buy tires go to tall rubber instead of the low pro setup you probably have. It'll buy a couple of miles per hour at the same engine speed. Battery wise I would run your sleeper batterys separate from the truck ones to insulate any...

There are contractors who have been very successful at the lease purchase option. Look into the EO sight for truck sales and do some research and interview prospective owner/sellers the same way you would applying for a job. Good luck..

No dumb questions here. The DOT part of the sale is the inspection which certifies the vehicle will be safe to operate and meet all Department Of Transportaion requirements. This would be the same type of inspection you will be subject to on the highway when you are pulled into the scale. The...

I'm originally from Cleveland Ohio and my accountant should be out of prison at about tax time! No seriously, interview your prospective accountant the way you would a Doctor, if he ain't got trucking experience then move on to the next one.

I've commented on such products in the past and highly recommend you slow down a few miles per hour and save your hard earned money that way! A well tuned engine with fresh filters running good quality fuel and additives while reducing idle time will benefit you more in the long run. Just my...

Remember this is suppose to be fun! Come on group lighten up! Life is way to short for all this to deflate our enthusiasm!

With that many miles, the pin is pulled on your grenade! It needs to be overhauled, seriously. The dealer is giving you want you want to hear. How about if they will gaurantee that engine for 100000 miles it might be worth considering, otherwise there are plenty of trucks out there. Keep...

Now lets think about this one? Is any passage or port going directly to the ignition area exposed to the inside of your unit? Trust me on this one, being on fire is NO fun at all!! If all you are getting is hot air without vapor and ignition I would think this would be safe? Better check with...

Hi there, heard you jumped ship? Everything OK at new company?? Take care, just saw your post and had to yell at you!

The Allison has superior acceleration characteristics. It does seem a bit harsh at times. The Auto-Shift is a good setup if it is the 10 speed or bigger. The small 7 speed is a joke and anyone who has had one will tell you the same. Dollar for dollar I would go Allison, just don't scrimp on...

I love it! How cool, and practicle!! Come on Knoxville freightliner lets get one on order, what do you think?

Keeping track of your numbers as you have done should be on everyones mind as fuel prices will never come down. Knowing idle time and other times that fuel economy are effected is critical in making good business decisions. It's funny how we all know our amount of deadhead and very few know what...

Whatever gets you thru the night! If it were'nt for that darn freight you could stretch out all you wanted. Have fun, stay warm.
