In the package that came with the new lease it states that "the escrow amount has increased for existing vehicles in the fleet" Yet on the lease the dollar amount is blank. Does anyone with a B unit know what the amount is?

Is it a Kenworth? Could be part of the big red fleet.

Ya...some guy who watches Olympic figure skating....not that there is anything wrong with that....:rolleyes:

This Feb has been the best month I have had in the last 12, I almost doubled my revenue target for the month, beat my $/all miles target by 14 cents, and...had some down days as well. It was really odd for Feb. I hope March is just as odd!!

While I am no fan of PJ's, I can tell you that any concerns regarding your ECM are not going to be an issue. The unit reads the J1939 data that the ECM sends out for scan tools, automated transmissions, ABS, traction control etc. The link is a read only link so the Qualcomm does not "send"...

I wish I could do that bubblehead but all my loads are cross border. If I do that or drive off the customers lot before doing a departure call ppwrk check w/ a person I get (and have gotten) in hot water. I hope the new QC automates this, or even automates just the US to US shipments, thus...

If you can get the small antenna up on the top of the box or near the top of the roof fairing in a TT you will do well. Just remember to mount it on the drivers side of the truck, this will prevent some signal loss if you are beside a rock face or a heavily tree lined road.

I am really starting to miss the 'Schroeder' piano music too. One thing for sure, when you press 1 for dispatch and then press 1 for departure it would be nice to get someone right away. It feels really silly when a customer loads your truck with hot freight (it is expediting right?) only to...

If it's a 2 bolt mount, did he put the shims back in (if any) under the starter? If the starter is not lined up properly with the ring gear the starter gear will have undue load on it that will cause it to drag when dis engaging. In a lot of cases there will be a couple of thin shims between the...

Greg is right. On any application, class 8 to a van you need to be very careful when you start talking about changing rear end ratio's. A van with a 4.6 will not react the same as a van with a diesel when you are talking ratio's. Dropping to a 3.55 will do you no good if all it does is lug the...

January was a bit soft for me but I met my revenue targets for February before the 15th. We got a great new customer close to home that has really kept me busy, needless to say I am doing everything I can to keep them happy. April will be the telltale month for me. If I meet target in April I...

If he wins....Tennessee will find the best performing most popular state in the country........buy..oops I mean "merge" with it....and then slowly destroy it. Sounds like progress to me.

Does anybody read through things anymore?

After sitting in dispatch for an afternoon I highly recommend it. You figure out pretty quick that a) the system does not let things get "adjusted" very easily and b) the dispatchers have no time to play games anyway. It sure opened my eyes to how things really work!

Doug, when your Qualcomm powers up and the mileage it see's from the engine ECM doesn't match the last mileage it saw from the ECM before it powered down........do you think the QC will send a little error msg to safety? I'd bet that these new units are a lot smarter and more tamper or "screw...

Flying J whenever possible. We get a discount (not huge but still something!), the shower program suits a van guy the best. I don't often eat in the restaurant so the T/A program is no good for me. Pilot continues to do their best to have dirty showers, expensive everything and crap service...

a liter is about the same as a quart

The 2010 recovers all the mileage we lost with the 07 emissions package (which in my opinion Mercedes did a horrible job with). After talking with OVM and others with 06 and older units I was generally 3 mpg off of theirs with my 08. The 2010's bring that back. The 07-09 engines had a DPF that...

Thanks for the post and pics Dale!! Not being a cigar smoker can you elaborate on how big the black box part is and if you had to guess, how much the box weighs? Also, is the screen/keyboard unit connected with a thick curly cord (the current units could be used as a tow strap I swear) of...

Didn't we all?
