    mbe 900 average life

    I'm on my third. One was the 7.2, we drove for fleet owner, second was truck we owned, 6.4@250 HP. Third is truck we're in now, with 561k on the clock.....7.2@330 HP. I've heard many stories, some not going more than 400k (questionable maintenance), others with engines replaced at 650k, and...

    Wow....

    And still, you don't answer Moot's query. Why keep moving the goalposts? As Moot said, the thread had not run it's course. Turtle regularly, as a Mod, deletes derogatory posts, and THEN EXPLAINS WHY HE DID SO. Locking the thread did nothing but stifle people who were genuinely trying to get...

    Looking for some cooking ideas

    I swear we have as much cooking crap in our truck as we do at the house. I've said before that we don't have the tag axle for extra freight weight....it's just to carry the Puerto Rican's cooking supplies. We even have spice racks mounted inside the cabinet doors. While I like to give her crap...

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    Doubt that very much. "Heard at truckstop" should have been the first red flag.

    1099?

    It's all money paid to you for the entire year, and he only does it once annually. Does that help?

    Flying J Parking Policy

    Screw Flying J. The only two I have ever enjoyed were the ones in Baytown, Texas, and Lordsburg, NM. I pulled into the hook in Lodi, California last week, and parked up front (where just about EVERY expediter does). It was late, and my bride was sawing logs. I shut off the truck, and turn on...

    Stay away Inland Kenworth in Albuquerque, NM

    One wouldn't have to hide behind a 'mod' shield when one doesn't instigate in the first place........Got a right to my opinion, too. This thread could have morphed into a wonderful teaching thread for a newbie driver and/or O/O. Regarding your last paragraph, OVM....well, nevermind. If you...

    Stay away Inland Kenworth in Albuquerque, NM

    I'm wondering if Moderator School has required reading of "Winning Friends and Influencing People". Fail.

    What forums do YOU read?

    I use the "what's new" button, but look to see which forum the post came from. Like others, I try to avoid the soapbox. WAY too many wackos in there.

    Brunswick, ME to Florence, SC

    Are we doing this again? You guys didn't get this right yet? Turtle, can you please ask John Elliott to talk about tolls in orientation......wait...never mind. He bills customer, two guys don't ask to be reimbursed, he keeps toll money. Do we need to do the "how much I keep" chart...

    M2 Freightliner ABS problem

    That ABS sensor dynamite refers to sends an electromagnetic "flux" into the "tone ring" that has slots in it, mounted on the inside of your hub. It works similarly to a crankshaft position sensor. As usual, dynamite's spot-on about adjustment of the sensor. Another possibility, though, is that...

    Twic = useless

    Do a search on this site and any other trucker forum, Craig, and you will find that it is just one of many very redundant identity credentials being used to soak truck drivers needlessly. I'd love to see your report when finished.

    Canada WHat? No more purple pill?

    Wow. So much to say........ Never mind. And yes, you're right, Jenny. Wonder what OVM's purple pill is really doing for him.
