Towards the end of my tenure I made sure to make my response over the QC. I stated that I had stopped driving to respond to the inquiry about my progress and that dispatch could expect me to stop and respond each time they asked whether I was rolling or "encountering any problems". I was...

problem signs One of the problem signs that I note when driving is the arm hanging out the drivers window. Not as bad as the cell phone driver, but they are usually enough not up to the flow of traffic. Maybe a little too relaxed. I think there might be something to the bumper sticker...

Sorry I ended up in the truck section with this question. I was intending to post this in the newbies forum. eb

I'm comfortable driving a tanker. No problems with a Sprinter van. In my new job I'm in a straight truck. I'm not used to having my rear end hanging out so far. What is the proper way to take a corner as to minimize swatting other vehicles on my outside side? Sometimes I feel like my back...

Mr Wizard was a good show. eb

If it is a Cat I was towed to this Caterpillar location when I was in a Freightliner. My company was footing the bill, but Thompson treated me very professionally. Thompson Power Nashville (LaVergne), TN 1245 Bridgestone Blvd. Nashville (LaVergne), TN 37086-3510 615.256.2424

Technically, I just quit expediting, but I'll still be attending my first expo this year, because the equipment is similar to what I'm doing now, as are the customers and freight. eb

You can't buy the research for the future stuff if you aren't making a profit today. The future stuff isn't here today to fund itself into existence. The economy has to grow out of the oil age and that will only happen if the market is free to do so. eb

I bought the kind of computer mount that I noticed mr. trooper had in his vehicle when he had me sitting there while he was researching a way to write me up. I wonder if mr. trooper's computer is capable of playing video. But then I guess I'm not allowed to have all the cool firearms that he...

I drove a Freightliner Century class. Schneider standard issue. It was orange. I got the impression it was a disposable truck. The big fleets service their own fleets minimally for the three or four years until they replace the vehicle. The couple times I had to visit a dealership I felt...

omg Not meaning to pile on, but my board position does look funny. I'm sitting just outside St. Louis, and I'm on the Chicago board. eb

After filling it with babes of choice I don't think there will be much room for skids. eb

another anomoly I'm another anomolous 07 Sprinter driver. My mileage has dropped to 19 mpg. The reason I'm getting such average results is because I added 500+ lbs of gear to the roof of my unit (apu+ac, but that's another story). All the extra wind drag permanently removed a minimum of 2...

When I was removing the last of the decals today, another driver stopped by to view my work. He considers himself an expert in removing decals, because he worked for seven companies last year alone. He suggested using a hand-held halogen work lamp if the sun wasn't warm enough to soften the...

http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/30607-lose-power.html links back to the question I originally asked. I'm leaning towards egr valve and idling now. When the dealership was looking at the vehicle and couldn't figure it out, they only had one thing to say--use an additive. I...

Had you done a lot of idling when you were in south Texas? I posted a similar problem in a thread a couple months back. My problem seemed to be independent of fuel, but same symptoms. Dealer couldn't find a problem either. I'm now wondering if something was getting mucked up from idling...

I just started removing my decals yesterday. Since I know my termination date, I'm removing everything in stages. I'll save the legally required numbers on the doors for last. At the rate I'm going this is probably about a two hour job. Surprisingly the vinyl is coming off easily. The time...

Or if you change to a new line of work you still have the foundation for a very nice RV. DC, as for your laptop's appetite I bet it is more the inverter or power adapter that is sucking up the juice. eb

19,000 to replace me. Or does that just leave a balance of +18,999. eb

I'd love to see them do a one-ton four wheeler. One of the 9998 lbs models. eb
