If a couple more stickers are put on he will ruin its cuteness;-) -Weave- Come on, it's SORT of a girlie truck. Maybe Fran @ C&M can beat him up with her 22' Pete? :) Those must be the stickers on the back of George's old truck- his Star has the small black-yellow one placed diagonally. See...

I will soon be celebrating 2 years as C&M Transport unit 193. Company located in Painesville, OH. -Weave-

I MIGHT buy one with the MB engine and put up with the maint. costs for the Allison, (And whine about any problems on this forum) but I can't deal with the CAT engine.. Not at any price. What I look for is this in an expediter truck- 5 yr. financing, 5 yr. depreciation, 5 year 500k mile...

I know the Acterra is available with MB power as opposed to the CAT (I wouldn't buy a 3126 equipped truck), but is the Cummins ISB an engine option for it? Is a 9 speed Roadranger tranny available in them? Thanks, Weave

To give a better idea of HOW time consuming it is, it took me approx. 20 hours to remove my FedEx decals. Two sweaty days I'll always cherish in my memory- It was a labor of love getting away from that Mickey Mouse outfit. -Weave- Almost forgot.. My decal removal project got to be quite the...

I am going to take it this is Frank Katz, the tax man.. If you are a true independent, I would help him, because he has been more than willing to help anyone on this forum regarding tax situations! -Weave- Maybe Teacel can put his money up to his keyboard. :-)

HO BOY-- There's BIG bucks to be had hauling hot shot car-rv stuff!!! With your Dodge Ram/Chevy 3500 pickup. Or with your beat up weak tractor. BS. This is a new BS fad. --Weave-- The equipment may work, but the business doesn't.

George, I'm sorry for how much I pick on you. Did you make that yellow and black EO online bumper sticker yourself?? (Good work!) Your product line is expanding beyond your wildest dreams! -Weave- ...Man that 'lil box looks funny on that big class 8!..Hey, wash that DS fuel tank off..sorry my...

Early issue 1999 Cummins ISC's had a bunch of fuel pump problems, as this was the first electronic system Cummins tried to develop independent of Bosch, their long time supplier. I know as I was driving one of these as it just stopped in the most embarrassing place in the world at the most...

You can simply half-$%%ly paint over them like what has been done to 99% of the late model used expedite trucks I go to look at. Just about all FedEx shadows. Or remove them the right way, albeight time consuming, with the heat gun. You'll take up about 1 or 2 inches at a time, and then have...

RE: Great opportunity A great opportunity?? OK, Herr Landstar, prove it.

I am glad I have all this crud and the ability to get "cuuddy" right at home.. I love it. It's not just an oil change, you'll get to know your baby. And it will pay off in dividends big time. As an O/O, the truck is your job and your livelihood. After all, expediting is TRUCKING, isn't it...

Yes, we need our own sticker, and how hard can it be to make?? Maybe the EO highers-ups can take a few of the advertising bucks they make and support their highly loyal volunteer forum contibutors? -Weave-

I just talked to a fellow this week who has been leased to LEA for three years. He said he is now doing well with them, but it took him a solid year to do so. He said to me, "The agents won't use you until they get to know you." For new expediters the first year is VERY critical. It is a...

HEUI refers to the "high energy unit injection" system found on CAT 3126 and older 3116's. It does not have a conventional fuel injection pump like most all diesels. Instead, it has special fuel injectors that are powered by the engine's oil system. When seals on these injectors blow, they...

Yes, another interesting twist.. WHY did Penske sell off the profitable and decent (after GM) Detroit Diesel Corp. to D/C?? So they can SCREW IT UP PERHAPS?? And they will. With my luck Cummins will become part of that conglomerate too, and ALL "heavy duty" truck engines will be made of fine...

I have seen prototypes of the Freightliner Business Class M2- It is a direct copy of the Mid-sized Internationals. Does anyone at D/C have a mind of their own? -Weave-

If only.. the Cummins ISB were available in the full size Dodge van (It only fits into the big pickups), Now THAT would be a great expediter van! I'll keep dreaming;-)

How many times do I have to say stay away from CAT 3126's?? The HEUI CAT's blow, big time..they cannot be rebuilt and cost upwards of $14,000 to replace.

OK, here goes, and it's sort of a complicated story. Ford wanted to get out of the class 8 truck market a long time ago. They finally got the opportunity to do it with Freightliner buying out that division of theirs- now Sterling. The base Sterling designs are still Ford 8000 chassis. Don't...
