Two blondes were talking,one said "I wonder which is closer,London England or the moon"? The other blonde replied'Silly you of course the moon is closer as you can see it".:D

I believe the alternator has the voltage regulator built in.When the batteries were tested I disconnected them from the truck. Not sure about the engine ground,what is that? In addition to the truck voltage gauge I also plugged in a seperate voltmeter to a 12 volt outlet in the cab.Both...

I am having a weird problem that started about 2 months ago.When I first start up the batteries will not charge until I go about 100-150 miles. Voltage gradually drops and if a load is on such as lights or the AC the voltage drops quicker. Then I can drive about 2-3 hours and all of a sudden the...

Chet,glad to see you guys worked it out as both you and Tom are decent guys,good luck and stay safe.

Thanks for sharing all of your concerns and problems that you encountered. That is the purpose of this forum,to give information so that others can make decisions.You truly may have helped others to shy away from a company that will not tell you what the pay is and to lie about your freight...

I have to really be tired to get any decent sleep while moving,noise + bouncing on bad roads and unfortunately every time my wife slows up for something I wake up. One time we did a cross country run and were really whipped in LA. As soon as we unloaded they wanted us to deadhead to Tulsa,I...

Roberts used to get a decent discount at YMCA's ,might still exist. I carry a fold up bicycle that I will sometimes pedal around parks or malls.

Just about everyone I know uses Lucas Oil Treament in their oil,prevents dry starts.

I use Howes Meaner Cleaner both in summer and winter,average price is about $9.99 and lasts for 3 fillups. I get about 1 mpg better with it then without it and have never had gelling problems. Power Service also seems to work well.

I agree with Terry. I run a D and when we run team we run at least 50% at night.Last week we had 2 all nighters where we picked up in the AM drove all day and night,delivered the next morning. When I run single it is usually in the daytime.However you can get into a cycle that will sorta lock...

We did leave Canada from Yarmouth Nova Scotia,never heard of Yarmouth Ontario. Now wouldn't it be the responsibility of the carrier who dispatched me on the trip to be aware of the potential penalties??We were stopped at a port of entry scale in New Brunswick and also in Nova Scotia,they checked...

I recently got nailed for an alternator that appeared to be erratic. I always thought alternators either worked or did not. After starting up the batteries would not take a charge for about a 100 miles then the readings would gradually get normal. New alternator was installed,after a day or two...

Rob Several years ago I hauled within Canada.I went from Brantford Ontario to Halifax Nova Scotia with shelving for a new Supermarket scheduled to open on a Monday.We picked up on Saturday morning unloaded Sunday night. I was told that an American Driver may make one trip within Canada ,then...

Brand new and clean air/fuel filters may have helped.

No. If they are smart they are small business owners operating a business that uses a truck.

If you have the ball- to stay at a Mr Patel Motel and it is late at night you can bargin that sob BIG TIME. I have seen them drop their prices by 50% at about 11PM just to get someone in a room,of course the quality may be iffy but what the hell,pretend you are in India..

I won't identify them but Tery and I know of certain dispatchers in Ohio that would do that to certain contractors and you can't blame them..

In your first post you said"Am I crazy"?. I just did the math,if you did this run legally you would have to average 93.25 MPH. In a 48 hour time frame you have a total of 28 hours of driving time legaly. Wonder what kind of mileage you got at that speed. You know we all get tempted by the big...

I have seen that photo before.I think he has a death wish..

Sounds like Try Hours,if you ran that run as a single it was illegal and guess who pays the fine, You do not want log book violations in California.
