I could see the terminal thing working if, It was limited to express centers where no suitable or safe truckstop exists, like Dearborn or Elk Grove, it would improve customer service as too many trucks stay outside the 25 miles in these dumps and If we paid a small fee......yes it would be...

Spent a wonderful:rolleyes: afternoon in the snow going from Hartford CT to Binghamton NY (ish) and heading to the wilderness in Quebec tomorrow. Mother Fed has me routed over the Champlain Bridge between NY and VT...guess I better break out the pontoons for the Sprinter or the load will get wet.

New Freightliner class 5 thru 7 will only be available with Cummins or Mercedes engines. Any Ftl's with Cat's are trucks already in inventory. Internationals will only be available with International engines (the current Maxforce 7 and DT). Cat is finished with on highway engines in any region...

Wix changed their supplier for the Sprinter oil filters as well, now the filter comes with really cheap o-rings that don't always seal and the filter is made in Poland instead of Germany (an is slightly smaller).

Re: Im thinkin of screwing my dog carrier in to the floor of my van Just when I was beginning to think you didn't have a sense of humor.....thumbs up Ken.

Stopped off for a bit at the J in Corfu NY, me and the other 3 FedEx B's are all staring at ground that is WHITE......and there is a pile of it in the corner of the lot.....yuck. Looks like Bison SD in June.

Ahhh yes..that odd cringe laugh when really nothing is funny. Thanks Jeff, I had a real good laugh (comfortable) when I read that one!

Albany......still.......it was Monday tho.

Once you surpass the "free time" your carrier gives the customer then I would call in and say "am I getting detention time?" and if the answer is yes I would stay put...if I leave on my own decision I would fully expect to forfeit all the detention money paid to me so I would need a darn good...

Stoops. I didn't buy my truck there but buy parts there and have gotten service help from them. Very knowledgeable and helpful considering I am not a big customer.

How often do you (B units) get "locked"? Is this something I should check at each check in? I got locked today (dunno why) and possibly missed out on some loads. I neglected to do a 9MSG after check in (I called the VRU and did a location check to verify) and thus missed knowing about it on my own.

Pilot at I-88 and I-90....guess this is considered Schenectady NY. Had 2 options after del...Bridgeport CT or up here. Did I get it right for a Canada load?? Stay tuned.

I heard the owner was charged for beating up expediters parked on the lot.

Somewhere Mass, behind a big fence with lots of voltage in it and cameras pointed at it....and me. Think I will sleep soundly tonight!! I might get out and look for Dick Cheney as this is definitely "an undisclosed location"

Only a guy who drove a van can be that smart and figure it out!;) How's "E" life treating you so far Cip?

Corfu NY, for now, truckin the rest of the weekend while y'all are holiday'n. No turkey on the buffet tonight....booooooo.

Ask any non FedEx person, ALL us purple folk are snotty supposedly;)

The bulbs last about 3 months, like I said, my Sprinter eats bulbs..Silverstars or anything else. I bought them at PartsSource up here in Canuckville but have returned bulbs to Wal-Mart, O'Reilleys and Auto Zones in the US. It says 12 months right on the package, so I keep that and then bring...

Smaller company based out of New Dundee. X-west does a lot of brokering and has a division called Boyder that does nothing but act as a forwarder. The units you see are mainly used for freight in ON, OH, IN, MI which, is pretty much as far into the US as you can go as a Canadian and still expect...

The noise gets worse when the truck downshifts under a pull, Fuel economy has gotten worse, 2 things there point to either a turbo or a leak in the air intake piping or charge air cooler. Under load the boost is higher, after a downshift it rises considerably. That event will expose any...
