I wonder how many of us are in the Trucker buddy program.About 12 years ago this program was started by a trucker to help create a more positive image of truckers. It links up truckers with school classrooms around the country. Basically the the trucker sends some postcards to his/her class a...

RE: crash Davekc hit it on the head,overspending on a truck is one of the biggest reasons people fail.They listen to the salesperson,get all kind of bells and whistles but fail to understand that now the truck owns you,you don!t own it. I see these huge D units out on the road and you get to...

Hope you guys plan on adopting a truck mechanic named Guido. He will become a valuable member of yopur family.

DD you could not have said it better.Way to go

I know it can!t be the same but it sure looks like the Iveco that I complained about on the other post.

I would say your odds are very good. Get the CDL with all the endorsements and you should have no problems. GOOD LUCK

About a year ago I was stopped in my car for going slightly too fast in a school zone. Received a warning for that and a $55 ticket for not wearing a seat belt. I was just keeping up with traffic through the school zone but I was pulled over for no seat belt . Where I live they cannot stop you...

I guess that is the all time record for asking about a company and then getting qualified and signed on. Express One must live up to their name for sure.

Take a look at www.SelfDefenseandMore.com. They have interesting items for sale including a cellphone stun gun. Has a 130DB alarm and hits the bad guy with 180,000 volts.

Wow thought I was the only one who knew about Iveco!s. Mark,back in the middle 1980!s I lived in your part of the world near Utica NY. I worked for a company in New Hartford NY and we needed a small truck to run around the country doing Cash Register installations at McDonalds restaurants. Over...

UD!s are Nissan!s ,Hino!s are Toyota!s,About 15 years ago International was selling a cabover,it was a UD in disguise. I would stay away from all of the Asian built trucks mainly due to parts availability.I know some folks out of Akron Oh with a UD that had a transmission seal blow out at 65...

Florida has that law,if your wipers are on,headlights must be on, and they enforce it big time.

Go Jack,I sent you a private E Mail with my comments.

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso Small correction,if the Cat 3126 as low mileage it would probably work out OK.From what I hear and read the engine seems to start giving problems at about 400K.However there is always an exception as DaveKC can attest to.

RE: Whats the better Truck??? & Why-Opinions/Reaso The FL 70/80 are essentialy the same truck.The FL 80 has a slightly higher axle weight spec other then that they are identical. I have a FL 70 actually assembled in Aug 95,sat on Orlando Freightliner!s lot till June 96 when I purchased it. The...

One thing you could do,is to make a nuisance out of yourself at the Louisville Truck Show next month.Freightliner always has a huge exhibit and senior mangement suits are there.Try hanging around the M2 and when prospective buyers are looking at ,it describe your problems and how you are getting...

This is true.I had a 14 hour violation yesterday.Too long to give all of the details but I had a delivery at a hotel in Miami Beach,the customer took some of the freight there and said "this stuff must go to the convention center "(Miami Beach Boat Show.) If any of you have ever done trade shows...

I havn!t run auto freight in quite a while but I remember that some of the US companies would not allow foreign built trucks on their premises. Ford in Sharonville had that restriction among others. Something to keep in mind. We used to see a lot of Hino cabovers on the roads,most people seemed...

If you read Tony!s message again he ended it with GOOD LUCK.

Any decent shop or dealer should be able to do the switch.In the past I used my local Freightliner dealer to take out spring seats in 2 Mercedes Benz trucks that I owned. Make sure the seat belts would fit and work. Also the truck should have air brakes so that you have a source of pressure.I...
