    Hino 338 vs. Freightliner M2 106

    If you were concerned about the International's quality just wait until you are driving that Hino. :D I believe Freightliners are the way to go, lots of dealers if you need parts and TA/Petro are service points. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Profound Information for All Expediters

    It seems that there would be a better option out there for CV companies. That could really be a nail in the coffin for small companies. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    How are things going this year?

    The things to look at are what other skill sets a driver has to offer that could provide a living. The answer all to often is nothing and they aren't trying to acquire any new ones so drivers end up trapped and being forced to fight for bread crumbs because they can't leave. Then you have the...

    Confused?

    The Republican party was divided on the shutdown, the Tea Party wing was fighting with other Republicans like McCain. You incorrectly claimed that the Tea Party had no problem spending money on wars that we shouldn't have engaged in which is exactly what the liberals want misinformed people to...

    Confused?

    You really need to educate yourself on who the Tea Party is and what they want. Perhaps most importantly you might understand that although Tea Party members run with an R next to their name they don't just tow the party line. The Tea Party wanted to get us out of Iraq and worked with Code Pink...

    Miles

    Absolutely, you want to focus on things like revenue per day/week or if you have to hold the load over the weekend but that doesn't have anything to do with how many miles per shift you guys run. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Miles

    The high rate per mile equals a better rate per hour. Of course there could be hold ups at the shipper or receiver but detention pay helps there. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    You get more power, better MPG, and you get to sell the converter to the scrap yard. It is a win, win, win. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Yikes those catalytic converters can be expensive since they have platinum in them. I might be inclined to tell the shop it is to expensive, take it home and replace it with a piece of straight pipe. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Miles

    If you have a big difference in average speed between team members it is most likely because of the difference between night and day driving or one drives much faster than the other. The first one is just dealing with traffic, etc and calculated into your average dispatch speed. The second one...

    Extended Automotive Warranties

    I put almost 60k miles on my van in a little less than a year and ended up with $1700 in work over 3 trips to the shop. Each trip to the shop requires a $100 deductible so I am ahead $200 on them and they haven't given me any problems. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Miles

    The average miles per shift wouldn't come into play in this decision. You would look at the revenue per mile and where the load delivers to see if it is a good area. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Extended Automotive Warranties

    When I bought my E350 I paid $1200 for a 4 unlimited mileage warranty through a 3rd party. I believe Chrysler may just be in the warranty business. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    It's a Team's Life Government Shutdown: It's a Teams Life

    Yes, most people are against Obamacare and the polls have reflected that. The costs of healthcare could be controlled by less people having insurance so that they suddenly care about paying $12 for an Advil. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Help someone.. get fired...

    That one sentence throws your whole point in the garbage. Something is worth what someone will pay for it and a job is worth what someone will do it for. If Wal-Mart or any of the other big chains have a line of adults willing to do job that high school students do for $8/hr then there is no...
