Uh...why would we need an ELD to track where we are and what the load status is? This is an app to give customers easier access to the information from the tracking system that's been in use for a long time.

Canadian made.

You still in his van or back in yours?

Havoline/Chevron Full synthetic DexronVI. All Dex6 has the same additive package (if it is a true GM licensed Dex6) but the base oil and other goodies are not all the same. The actual GM/Delco branded bottles of Dex6 are an awful fluid...maybe fine for the Family Truxster but not a hard working...

As far as GM transmissions go.....not all Dexron 6 fluid is created equal....and the bulk stuff at the dealers and transmission shops is usually some of the worst....sure...works OK for the local plumbers van that does maybe 20k a year...the expediter...not so much. After doing used samples on...

Did they say what it was that failed?

Most Walmarts install a dust like substance on the DEF box to let you know it's well seasoned and extra special....see it all the time.

Might be a silly question but.....Brent...have you ever done any expedite driving work?

Careful with the moon view thinking....dispatch used it on me one night a couple weeks ago...Chicago and St.Louis were the same thing from the view they were using.

You're right....coolant color doesn't matter....if you know what you are doing. If you don't....it's an indicator that you may need to ask somone who does.

Mixing coolant colors........bad....unless you are 100% sure of the compatibility.

Face it Moot....you are impressive.

Not a single van at the Detroiter....is it that busy or did they decide we were not welcome again?

^^This^^ How much more do you really end up with if your carrier relies on bid board freight anyway? If the extra $ for hazmat are spelled out in my contract fine otherwise doubtful you'd see more than a few pennies. (In a van, totally diff for trucks).

Or if in the process of the load washing through a few entities before it gets to the actual carrier,....someone conveniently "forgets" it's hazmat and hopes the end driver just loads and goes...believe someone mentioned something like that a few days ago that they "weren't aware" it was a...

While I agree alot with the above.....FedEx also is to blame for the image loss. In their constant search for new not so smart newbs to take advantage of...the standards (at least what I saw at CC) were lowered quite a bit when it came hiring time. Last time I was at HQ (2011) the trucks parked...

I wish you hood luck with your additive...it sounds like most of the additives for sale as far as claimed benefits. While I disagree, I'm leaving this alone...we're just going in circles. People can make up there own minds. But.... Just a suggestion....don't suggest an opacity test in a DPF...

This industry does run on points....the 2 numbers after the decimal in the price. If shippers want top quality drivers and equipment....generally they know who to call....the rest look only at a number. I like your idea Tim....just don't think quality matters to a good chunk of this biz anymore.

Putting up the "Welcome Mr Buffett" banner perhaps.
