Higher fuel prices increase my DH cost. When you have to cross the fence each time, DH is a significant part of your costs even if FX has a good DH structure, you just gotta go farther to get freight, or sit forever waiting for a Canada load to drop out of the sky wherever you are. No big, just...

Corfu NY "J" again. leaving tomorrow noon. Lots of folks here!

It's picking up a bit. Still need more Canada freight. Watching the price of fuel very closely.

Except for having a scrubby, I'll be out in the truck Ken, feel free to visit if ya have the time.

Flying J N of Columbus OH. Hopefully get a load back to Canada today. Been a long time since I've seen the wife for more than a few hours, lots of weekend layovers lately. Oh well, at least it means I've been getting some miles!!

I think the carrier forums should be off limits to folks not working for that carrier. Case in point, I went to start a thread in the FXCC forum about a letter being sent out to FXCC contractors. About halfway through typing I realized that I would be posting company information on a public...

It's a tad tall but not a deal breaker. You just have to get used to it dropping into 5th when you climb a good hill. 5th is still OD and still a locked T-converter so you will be ok, it will give you nice mileage on the flat lands!!

Jeez, I go run for less than 48 hours and now I'm buying everyone dinner?? Coffee maybe but this cat ain't affordin' no Lahbster!!!! At home, hopefully for just the night!

A lot has changed with the Alliance brand in 10 years. Freightliner learned their lesson about selling cheap parts (which cost them $$$$ to warranty). Funny how FTL only learns when it costs them a chunk of money! Penske up here uses them as standard equip (the AGM's made by Deka). Lease...

They may be expensive, but the Freightliner (Alliance branded) AGM batteries are made by Deka/East Penn. Not to many batteries on the market better than theirs. Turtle can chime in with the real reasons but ya get what ya pay for!

If I ever run into you Joe, I'll be sure to buy you a 65MPH approved beverage, if we meet in Kentucky or some place that puts "7"'s on their signs, you'll have to buy, being from Ontario I'm not allowed to count past 65 anymore, unless I count in metric. Ever had a Metric beverage? I think Moot...

Ahhh yes, brother benny, he always did get the chicks.:eek:

St Albans Vermont. I can't believe I'm the only expediter here :rolleyes:. P/U tomorrow morning then back across to my side of the fence! Got to meet another EO'r. Had a good dinner and some great conversation with "the transporter" yesterday. So that's 2 (gotta go was #1), 9998 to go.

Kinda looks like the EKG of a heart attack victim.....

Maybe mount an LED light under the clear airtab? The resin should show the light at the edges! Now all you need is purple LED's!!!

Yep, used to use the tattletail feature to see if a truck had been tampered with from the way I set it up, it is a great fleet tool! The tattle function will not be used by the MTO as they have no jurisdiction over how often you change it. as long as it is set when they check and it doesn't...

You're right Joe, you and I both hate the law and the stupidity behind it. FedEx's decision and how it affects their contractors is an entirely different matter, and to me, how they are proceeding is well within their rights and duties as a business. How the individual contractor responds...

Barb, FedEx does have the right to issue policy, FedEx (as your insurer when loaded) does have the right to protect itself and it's customers freight from delay's due to non compliant trucks being fined in Canada, it has a right to protect it's operating rights in Ontario (the CVOR) from being...

US legal weights are OK with single tires in ON and QC. Out west I'm not sure of. Michelin (Michelin Canada anyways) has all the latest info available if you phone them, they have the driving force in getting Quebec and Ontario to wake up and realize these tires are a "good" thing. There are a...

www.nexiq.com Prices vary widely depending on what you get and how well the local dealer of these products gives deals. For older trucks, an older Pro-Link or older software package can be used and there are usually some products on E-bay. There is a listing on there today for older software...
