I think leasing on has the following appeal to some, 1) you get paid quick, and if you don't, its one phone call to one company, not several. Ya, you can factor, but that has its own pitfalls sometimes. 2) its easy, you don't have to find the loads, to some, this may be a daunting experience...

Seems odd that just as hub and spoke style of LTL freight is making a comeback, the 2 (now 1) former kings of this style of trucking are drowning. Maybe the merger wasn't a good idea after all!!

That would have made my day!! I did get out on the Tuesday of the week originally posted about.

Too bad the Baby Max engine program got shelved Moot, while it was still a V8, at 4.5L it was a lot smaller and lighter. I was hoping to hear that there was 16 feet available for load space (same as a long Sprinter) then you can do 3 skids and have a nice sealed off bunk.

Well it was fun to watch till you guys had to roooooooon it with your facts. Next you'll tell us there is no easter bunny.

I agree if there are more than 3.

Moose, congrats, I believe you were number 200,000!

His brother made a couple of good movies too! Oh wait.......

Someone on here recently advocated that as a safe way to drive their big truck in a city, a CDL holder to boot! I like your logic Turtle, but stupidity comes from the brain, regardless of the contents of the wallet:D.

Any engine will meet CARB requirements if it has the right aftertreatment devices installed, the issue becomes the cost to apply these technologies to older engines that polluted more in the first place. You can make an NH220 Cummins from the 50's compliant, with a LOT of aftertreatment. Most...

If the engine can be in it's sweet spot, slower will ALWAYS give you better fuel mileage. Wind resistance above 55 MPH goes up exponentially, meaning the rate of HP needed to overcome the air rises much faster than the rate of speed. A lot of trucks got geared so that they were at the bottom...

The OM 926 LA is more commonly referred to as an MBE 900. There are 2 variants of this engine, a 4 cylinder and a 6 (the one you want info on). It has been available in Freightliner Business Class trucks for a number of years. The engine, while not a power monster, has been reasonably reliable...

Is it just the speedo or is the odometer out of whack too? If its just the speedo your options are limited as any changes will affect the odometer and how the engine ECM see's the world. If they are both out, the likely culprit is an improperly set "Tire RPM" in the engine ECM. The difference...

Thinking of Ontario laws....4500 kg = 9920lb. Us silly Canadians!!

The Allison never made it to the vans. The HD vans got the 4L80 or 4L85 E transmissions which were really great transmissions. The new 6L90 has been available in the pickups for a year or so and it is a winner. I don't think they will turn the full HP potential of the Duramax loose on it tho...

Good mileage is do able in the 07 and up, I average 28 MPG which is 23 US MPG. Somedays it drops to 21.5 US and somedays I can get 25 US, depends a lot on the wind. That said, I am still very interested in this unit. I almost bought a Vision but was un satisfied with the length. This thing...

Great!!! and true.

This really is a great chance for people to communicate. As Expediters we can educate the vendors as well. When they leave after the weekend they will be full of the conversations they have had with us. Recruiters will be armed with fresh insight as to what really matters to us based on the...

2 words.....Game Changer.

I hear his death was caused by some Mighty Putty his doctors had used on an artery giving way.... Booooooooooo.............
