Tony,good to hear from you,Give a call to Hans Freightliner in Cleveland.They can probably point you in the right direction.I had a friend running out of Cleveland with a D unit.His axle support legs were driven by air pressure.He said they could lift the back end right off the ground. If you...

JamminJim,,I don't know what engine you are running but the Cummins C has 2 thermostats.

Bad fuel,clogged filters,dirty injectors,lots of idileing in cold weather etc. How often do you change your oil? I use Howes Meaner Cleaner,seems to help out on soot and increases MPG.

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F Free Spirit, I am curious as too what prompted you to write this post, essentially saying only a few can post on this or other forums. These forums are open to everyone who is a member. There is no discrimination based on an individual's...

I have been followed and reported on twice on I 65 in the Nashville area.

RE: Found a Mack CS Joe, I like your determination and enthusiam and I think you will make it OK. Have you considered a short term truck lease through Penske or Ryder. Say about 12 months,live as frugal as possible and build up some cash. You can probably have insurance and maintenance added in...

OK, now a Full Bird Colonel can go after me,Terry,Davekc,Dreamer but leave our founder of this forum ALONE. LOL

RE: Found a Mack CS Joe my man think about it. A 18 year old truck with 57,000 miles on it,no way That means the van line only did 3166 a year,or 60 miles a week. I don't think so. Remember in this cruel harsh world we live in "you get what you pay for"..x(

Loks like I have been out of the truck stop loop for a while. The only ones I could think of that charge to park are the Detroiter,The two TA's in Ontario CA,and the TA east of Hartford CT on I 84 and I think that one is now free,but it has become a real dive.x(

Sometimes it amazes me how Companies demand superior performance from the driver/contractor but settle for mediorce performance on their Dispatchers part. I will not identify the Carrier that I am with but this situation could have probably happened on a number of them. Last week I received a...

I am sure that the A Team will take me to task for this,(LOL) but Hospital parking areas work real well , as long as you stay away from the emergency room area. The lobbies are open all night,rest rooms are clean and no one bothers you. Just make sure you are way in the back or near the...

Lawrence thats a Gross of 1 million dollars,not 1 million miles,still have a way to go to get there but it,s getting close.

RE: So, just how muck of your revenue goes to the We pay ourselves a very small monthly salary,just enough to keep the house and utilities and food going.At the end of each quarter whatever is left over we then take a bonus in the form of a distribution. The salary is taxed as earned income...

Well I don't want to announce my mileage on my FL 70 as you know you will regret it,But My FL 70 has grossed over 1 million dollars with very little down time.Take good care of it and it will take good care of you.

There is a Pilot T/S about 10-12 mile north of Laredo that is OK.

Merci Beaucou, Mon Amni

For everyone's info the US Counsular officials have issued a warning for all American visting Nuevo Laredo Mexico ,right across the river. They said to be especially aware of safety and security.In the last 4 months over 25 Americans have been kidnapped or have disappeared. Quote"We are seeing...

Back when Bill Clinton was in office we took a load of Presdential Christmas Cards from a printing place near Louisville Ky to the White House. The original shipment had a mispelled word,guess that person who was in charge lost his/her job real fast. We went through 3 security checks and had a...

You can still run 5/5 or 5.5 /5.5 with the new HOS rules.We have always run 5/5 and as the Raceman says you are lucky to get 2-3 hours of sleep. If you don't want to run 5/5 you can run 10/10 but thats a long haul without a break,even though yesterday I did almost 11 as a single.

I would avoid the Cat engine and only go with a Cummins C Engine.The Cumminsis is a wet sleeve engine and can have a inframe rebuild, thus keeping labor costs down. One oil analysis doesn't do much,you need to see several to determine what elements are starting to increase. But the fact that...
