RE: GM Van owners: What fuel mileage are you getti I have rode with Richard Petty (oops sorry I meant Terry) and I believe an extra 2 mpg is possible. Nuff Said:P

Excellent location

I doubt if a local cop would know what to do but a DOT guy could write you up,but you could fight it as most speeding violations have to be proven by radar guns,following you etc.You could easily claim that you put the wrong city in your logbook. Out west they used to check trucks at the port...

OK this is one I had to forward on..

Read through the Archives here about that CAT Engine.Unless you have proof that it's been rebuilt I would stay away from it.

RE: wiper design Many years ago my Ex Wife's Uncle received a patent on windshield wipers made out of teflon.He sold the patent to Ansco who makes wipers,they were supposed to manufacture them and he would receive royalties. Unfortunately for him they sat on it and to the best of my knowledge...

Very nice Tony,Best to you and yours.

What seems to affect me the most is wind,then speed.

I have also used Hans FL when I am in the area.I am in 100% agreement with DD,they do excellent work.

Warm here in Jax also,just came in from the patio,short sleeve weather tonight.

the Bakelit connector that plugs the harness going to the blower has also melted and will need to be replaced.Looks like a FL dealer will be required. x( x( x(

Heater blower finally went out last week.It had been going for some time, I took off the front panel and the 3 position swich has just about melted along with connector to the blower .My problem is that I do not see a way to remove the switch,looks like it has to be pushed out but I see no...

Very difficult question to answer. There is no firm guide as too what a New expediter might want in a truck.The smart ones stay small and see how their income is and go from there.Other folks rush in ,then they over buy,the income cannot pay for the truck plus their lifestyle needs and they...

Today Terry passed on to me a Website that will give you hotspots throughout the country.You can type in your location and it will give you hotspots based on your location,and you can expand the coverage.Say you were going to deliver in Las Vegas,you can check ahead and locate areas that you can...

There are no stupid questions,but I don't think your plan is doable. First of all to haul someone else's cargo you will need operating authority as a carrier. I am going to assume your truck will say "Private Carrier not for Hire". Now if you had an agreement with a carrier and they brokered the...

I would like to see just one day, "Where we can have peace on earth and good will to all."

I would think it would be worthwhile to talk to Freightliner about the spring. There might be a recall or a bulletin out about it. I don't know who you run forbut we have always done well out of El Paso.

Interesting posts about life style on the road.just yesterday i stopped at at the Petro in Bordentown NJ and the TA in Paulsboro NJ.Both truck stops had golf carts ,guys who would drive around and bring the 300 pounders out of their truck in the back up to the buffet line so they could keep that...

Stay away from Mega Life that you will hear advertised on XM. They are truly crooks and the agents will lie and tell you anything to sign a policy.My experience was that I was told there was a $3,000 deductible on the policy.I asked the agent was this a yearly deductible? He said yes. Turned out...

Man oh Man,just got back in from a East Coast trip.In reviewing this thread Tom and Weave and Dave have nailed it pretty good. I have been with one carrier for 18 years,have managed to get through the bad times and enjoyed the good times. I have never overbought on a truck.To me this is the...
