I bought our truck from Ellenbaum. I sent them a deposit, flew up there from Florida, they picked me up at the airport and the truck was exactly as described. Overall it was an outstanding experience and the people there were great. I highly recommend them. I did not finance so I can't answer...

Does that mean you are thinking about developing a dress code?

Hey Phil, it's happening in Florida too. Governor Charlie Crist (elected as a Republican) is running for the US Senate as an Independent. "Charlie Crist continues to hold about a seven point edge over Republican Marco Rubio. According to the poll, his lead is relatively the same regardless of...

Actually we own and drive a D unit. I just never had a chance to look at these cool little campers before and thought they would make a nice way for a CV driver to have a place to sleep when they have a load in the van or at a campground.

Last night at the local Walmart I saw a Ford E350 CV pulling a Little Guy tear drop camper. It was not being used for expediting but it got me to thinking. Would any carriers let someone pull one of these around with them? They only weigh about 1000 pounds and have 85 pounds of tongue weight...

Yep. That's it. By raising the idle speed up a little it stops doing that. Also don't have the problem in the summer when idling for A/C.

Truck stops are great. You wake up in the morning and on your way to get breakfast you can enjoy the beautiful sound of trucks idling and smell the wonderful aroma of urine. Then during the day you can watch the 53 foot demolition derby or be entertained by wheel polishers and panhandlers...

No, the other driver was never found. There was no credible witness and the Flying J did not have security cameras. The only one who saw it said the guy pulled forward after realizing that he had hit us, looked in his mirrors and hauled a** out of the parking lot. We had a vehicle description...

I wanted to update these two threads to let everyone know that with the help of John and Shelly at CIS all of the repairs to our truck have been completed. We were paid $2100 for 12 days of downtime coverage with no waiting period. Randy, our insurance adjuster from Progressive was great to work...

When I worked in a grocery store we had an ugly tie contest each week. The cashiers (all female) voted, and the store manager awarded a prize. Ever do any turkey bowling or learn how to cook a steak on the meat wrapper?

I expected to hear somewhere from 35-60k and up. But I don't understand how that cost can be justified. Why should a 8 foot sleeper cost as much or more than a new 35 foot fifth wheel RV? Is there some type of special manufacturing process or DOT requirements to justify the cost?

Generally, the only times a White Glove driver must be wearing the company apparel is at pick up and delivery. (There may be a few exceptions) Since there are so many choices in apparel and the prices are reasonable a lot of the FedEx CC drivers chose to wear the apparel most of the time.

I have to agree with Greg. EOBR's are our new big brother. The only thing I have seen in the new trucks is higher price, less performance and the need to buy blue def to keep the emission levels where the government requires them to be. I think the sales of rolling chassis will increase. Buy a...

Not to ruin the fun but FedEx does have a long sleeve dress shirt that looks nice with a tie. Item number FC1146 it costs $13.57. I personally will not where a tie unless it's a wedding or a funeral.

If you were going to have a brand new 96-100 inch sleeper with double bunks put on a cab and chassis truck how much would it cost? A ball park fiqure is OK. Thanks

Wouldn't it be better to mount the e track on the sidewalls? I would do 2, one above the wheel wells and another 3 feet high. Then you would have a smooth floor to slide the skids across and the splinters and broken pieces on the bottom of the skids wouldn't get hung up in the e track. A friend...

We go out to the Petro on I20 in Weatherford. Just west of Fort Worth. No lot lizards, panhandlers, wheel polishers or crack heads. Food there is pretty good most of the time.

I would do it in a straight truck for $600 a day and plan on at least 2 full days.

If I remember correctly the terrorist started this by attacking the United States. So my question would be, why do I care if anything upsets or incites them? Maybe this will force the cowards to come out of their caves or from under the rock where they hide and plot against us. I'll bet if...
