I think any gain would be a number far to the right of the decimal point. I ain't no rocket scientist, so take that statement with a grain of salt. I remember quite a few years ago that the kids running in the SoapBox Derby were covering their cars with graphite powder to decrease wind...

Last month I contacted a Company which had already approved me looking to hook up with an owner to drive their "D" unit. I was stunned that the majority of the owners I spoke with were adamant about keeping the fuel surcharge even though they were offering a "traditional" 60/40 split!! One guy...

After checking out the Fenway Partners website (www.fenwaypartners.com), I don't think I'd be too concerned if I was a PII O/O. There probably won't be any drastic changes forthcoming. Read the "Game Plan" that outlines their investment strategy, and check out the other companies that they've...

Sorry that you've got problems with your truck. Could you provide more info on the truck itself and what types of problems/breakdowns you're having? Rex

I'll start with a 300" WB International 9200i. The 72" OEM Hi-Rise sleeper is cool with me as I'll tote a small porti-potty and truck stop showers are free. As a solo, I think a shower/toilet is a waste of $$$ and space. I'm gonna spend that cash on a kick-a** sound system!!! Powertrain wise...

One of the first things you should do is either fill out the FECC on line application or call a recruiter and have him/her send you an application and info package. Once they have approved your application, then you can get the physical/whizz-quizz taken care of. Rex

Leo, Converting an existing transmission to an Autoshift would likely be cost prohibitive. Keep in mind that the electronic package for the transmission is integrated with the engine's electronics. It may be difficult to retro-fit an Autoshift into a truck now equipped with a manual shift...

It would be interesting to find out the "real" details about the situation. There can be "Adverse Conditions" (Sec. 395.1b) that allow a driver to run an additional 2 hours over the allowed 11 hour maximum. I familiarized myself with that section as I sat on the detour around a nasty accident...

There have been ads in the Cleveland Plain Dealer by ConWay Retail lately. I called them, and they were just getting the local terminal(?) organized. After talking with the guy, I didn't feel that it was anything I wanted to get involved with. Rent/lease/buy a straight truck...deliver goods to...

Lawrence, Although I was registered for the Cleveland workshop, I found myself in TN doing a 10hr. sleeper period. (Being a Co. driver, when they call, I haul!) Were there any informational hand-outs that I could get my hands-on???? Rex
