    First time out

    Dinner and a drink at a truck stop is about 12-13 dollars plus a tip for the great service you will receive. I'd say $15 a day would cover it.

    Auto Shift not wanting to go into gear at start

    My problem was intermittent too. I kept running it until the spring came out of the clutch and the drive train wouldn't disengage in a Walmart parking lot. I had to pull the parking brake knob and shut the engine off to get it to stop moving. My shop said it would have cost less if I had...

    What did you do during the Blizzard of 2011

    Having spent all of January running in snow storms between Indy, Chicago and Connecticut we got a run to Pompano Beach, Florida delivering on Friday. Made our drop, dead headed home and watched it on TV.

    Auto Shift not wanting to go into gear at start

    I had the same problem. Pilot bearing wore out causing the clutch to not be in the proper position. Then a spring came out of the clutch causing it to bind on the flywheel. The drive train would not disengage when that happened. I had to have a new clutch, input shaft, and flywheel installed...

    small fleet start up

    If you incorporate and establish credit in the businesses name you will still have to guarantee the companies credit. And if the company fails the creditors will come back to you for payment.

    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    I don't run for Load 1, but it seems that the shore power idea would be a great one. A place to plug in your block heater, space heater and electric blanket. Sleeping warm in peace and quiet.

    So I nearly killed us

    Good to hear no one was seriously injured. I don't no what advice I could give to restore your confidence except to say that even the best drivers make mistakes at some point. I always try to learn from my mistakes and not let them happen again. Good luck to you.

    Quallcom shutting down & other questions

    Ours shuts down and restarts whenever it wants. We can be on a run or sitting in a truck stop idling. So now we have to stay available on the phone or we could miss an op while it is doing its thing. Dispatch has not been able to poll us while on a run for 10 days now. So we have to send a...
