Can independent drivers really strike anyway? The Schneiders of the world will just move in and sell their services as "more dependable". eb

I shut down today. I was second on the board and a first out came in and pushed me down to third. I might be striking tomorrow as well. Solidarity. eb

I did hear that some of the Sprinter RV's have slide-out walls. (: eb

I sort of figure it would no longer be cargo vanning as we know it. But then the 10000+ cargo van may become the vehicle of choice. As a solo I can see that me sleeping in the cargo hold can be considered off duty, but the real problem as Terry and Rene point out, is the team under load...

Turtle, I'm not even sure that all the boards have a shipper as the company says. I've been stalking the Lone Star, TX board. And I'm suspecting the Jerrell, TX board as being a similar case. For about a week and a half I covered the Lone Star board. I had loads regularly, but the loads...

This is similar to another thread going, but my questions go in a little different direction. 1) With all the talk about one of these days cargo vans having to start logging, can anyone picture how they might accommodate the lack of "DOT" sleeper space in a cargo van? Especially teams--I'm...

I like English for readability. eb

Dallas Dodge I won't even break down at Dallas Dodge now that I know how they operate. It's a shame, because I have family in the neighborhood and could use it as a service layover area. The final straw for me was when I had a reflector fall off the rear bumper near the end of my warranty...

RLENT any idea where you are going to get your service manual? Anyone find a trick to resetting the ASSYST counter on an 07 after doing a self service? My computer won't reset like it's outlined in the owners manual and the dealership says that Daimler says the owners manual "misspoke" and...

big brother Technically speaking this is not an example of Big Brother. Big Brother is the trooper that pulls you over saying you weren't wearing your seat belt even though you were, just so they can try and peak into your vehicle. Big Brother operates the scales for your safety? Big Brother...

or super truckers? Have you met a super trucker before? Sitting at the EO booth have you ever had someone introduce themself as a super trucker? I've never met anyone who admits to being a super trucker, but I don't think that means they don't exist. I've read enough ATeam threads to...

I was planning to ask something similar [ but I was going to post in the panther dedicated forum below instead of here, but since we're here...] I did figure out one thing yesterday. Let the system catch up before requesting board position when arriving in a new area. I came wheeling into...

I couldn't find it in the manual. Much of the things in the manual I have are just powerpoint briefing slides that only outline what might have been covered in orientation. I regularly complain about the lack of written policy, so I'll just leave it at that. eb

The fairly common sign that I can't figure out is--Guardrail Damage Ahead. Maybe we shouldn't have an accident here today. Many have probably seen the twin water reservoirs above Marion, VA on I-81 southbound side. One is labeled "hot" and the other is "cold". Saw that somewhere else but...

I drive two to three hours and power begins to fall off. I shut off vehicle for a couple minutes, and I'm back in business. Two or three hours and power drops off again. No malfunction codes. Dealership can't find anything. I'm now thinking grime in the fuel tank that blocks the fuel...

Is this 8/24 hour advance policy written anywhere?

A breakout like this also helps people shopping for a company. Running searches on company topics won't consolidate company specific discussions quite like having a dedicated forum. eb

okay, I'm using it now too. eb

I am geographically separated from the letter, but it apparently doesn't state a recall number. It is referred to as a safety recall for the crankshaft position sensor on 2007 Sprinters with 3.0 liter diesel engine both dodge and freightliner. The symptoms are that the vehicle will stall or...

Looks like the recall notices are arriving. I already replaced my crankshaft sensor in November out of my pocket. I'm in the shop right now for routine maintenance. Will have to see if the dealership is ready to do the work. Previously the dealership said they would probably re-replace the...
