Pagers are pretty much history these days.I don!t know how Panther dispatches loads but most dispatchers want and need an answer ASAP. They may very well bypass you in order to talk to someone direct on their cell phone. Cell phones are relatively cheap and as long as you disipline your self to...

George, going from 11 MPG to 15 MPG is an increase of 60% not 6%,Kinda find that increase a little hard to believe. I use Howes Meaner Cleaner and get 1 MPG better or about 10% increase.

Thanks for that response.I think thats the problem as today I redid all of the connections,cleaned every ground connection I could find. When I first turn the unit on after sitting all night it works,turn it off and on a couple of times and it won!t come on. I have 12 volts going into the unit...

Wondering if anyone out here has a Rhodes Rambler Sleeper with the AC blower mounted under the sleeper. I am having a very bad intermittent problem with the blower.It runs whenever it feels like it.I have changed the on/off switch, changed the fuse,checked continuity of the 12 volt line to the...

I believe you asked this question once before.Frankly I don!t think your chances are good,unless it was a real small start up type of operation.

I believe that engine is the old tried and true DT 466.International has been producing that engine forever and it is virtually bullet proof.Just get enough Horsepower for what you think your worst applications will be and you should have many miles of trouble free driving.

Well I stand corrected and have to agree with Youngin. I came back in service tonight and and the qual Com showed 6 trucks laying over in my home center. I sent a message asking how many tucks were W/g teams and received a reply saying"Sorry but we can!t give out that information". The latest...

After last months bill of $178.00 for a Speedco Oil and Lube service,I decided to get a PM at my local Freightliner dealer.It helps to go in every so often so they remember who you are. My invoice for a routine PM,22 quarts,1 oil filter,2 fuel filters and the SCA anitfreeze filter was $208.00...

Ontario Van Man,Thanks I did see your message a couple of weeks ago about Jim Bunting. Glad to heat that He is doing Ok.I met Jim a couple of years ago at the Louisville show plus did a lot of E mails back and forth. My humble opinion, He is a nice guy,anyone who does quality control tasting on...

I have health Insurance through OOIDA . I have a Catastrophic Plan which costs me $141.00 per month.However there is a $5,000 deductible then they pay 90% up to $10,000 then 100% over that.My maximum out of pocket would be $5,500 for any surgery,hospital stay etc. I used to have a plan with...

The so called FAST System was not set up by the US or Canada but by the usual big 3 Automakers, when they found out that their freight could be delayed by security checks on both sides of the border,they demanded expedited services through customs and as usual what they want they get. Many of...

Actually it!s a hell of a lot better then it used to be,yes you may not know how many teams are in a prospective layover location but you can find out how many trucks are there and what activity has supposedly transpired.Also when you check in you can see how many trucks have greater dwell time...

Have you checked to see if your throwout bearing is lubed?On that transmission there is a plate which covers the bearing,many times lube guys don!t know about it or are too lazy to remove it and lube the bearing.I have lost 2 plates which were removed and not reinstalled so I just have left it...

My Eaton 6 speed with 700,000 on it doesn!t whine but is starting to leak at the front and rear seals.Do you know if the seals ever disintegrate all at once. I guess to replace the seals the Tranny would have to be removed which is much labor,the Speedo Co guys have said that it was leaking and...

May have been some ongoing construction going on. I always avoid that route when I go into New England. If I am coming north I take NJ Rt 17 N to I 287E ,cross the Tapanzee Bridge then I 684N to I 84 E and on up through Hartford area to Boston.It!s about 5 miles more but you avoid that Cross...

I know that a lot of places like Home Depot have pre employment drug testing,but I thought that the only industries that did random screening were the transportation and the power plant industries. I wonder what would happen to the Ken and Barbie TV news types and the other media newscasters...

I met one of their drivers a few years ago in Ashville NC. He said they were based out of Indianapolis and he got trips out of Indy but never a backhaul. I havn!t seen any of their trucks since that time.

I have a Maxon 2500 pound capacvity lift gate. It is the tuck away type that you see everywhere.The problem I have is that this model which must be the basic one only has 39 inches of space on the gate from the rear of the truck and at times it can get hairy. Maxon makes a larger model that has...
