    Flat rate for tractors

    The rates look to me to be very similar to those offered by some of the national truckload carriers. The only difference being that they go up the more miles driven. If a team can get over 13000 miles or a solo over 5500 miles a month they would be doing better than at the truckload companies...

    Advice needed on searching for an air leak

    It finally started leaking again. (It feels strange being happy about a leak.) It is coming from the Meritor Wabco ABS modulator valve. After running the truck to refill the tanks I could hear a howling sound coming from under the truck near the rear axle. When I crawled under I could hear...

    Advice needed on searching for an air leak

    I am beginning to think I am losing my mind. I am at home OOS and my number one mission was to find and fix this leak. It has been worrying me for two weeks. The truck sat last night for 15 hours and did not leak. This morning I pumped the brakes down, started the truck and moved it. 2 hours...

    Advice needed on searching for an air leak

    I'm looking for advice on searching for an air leak. The truck is an 06 Freightliner Coulumbia with a Mercedes MBE 4000. Usually the truck leaks down to around 50lbs in about an hour when parked with the engine off. The leak does not occur all of the time. It has now been parked for over 4...

    Laptops computers

    We have a Toshiba and love it. You can't really kill them as they have a partitioned hard drive that will restore them to factory settings. We would not buy anything else.

    Salt Lake City

    Our run was from LA to New Jersey. Had 6 days to get there. It was not a great paying load but at least we are now in the freight zone again. We like to do the cross country runs occasionally but we always fear getting stuck out there. We did have a lot of opps for in state and runs to Phoenix...

    At the J in Carney's Point, NJ. Now that Pilot has taken over you can see them going downhill faster than ever. The bathrooms are filthy, restaurant buffet is dryer than ever and the shower line is backing up. Can't wait for Denny's to move in. (Yuck)

    Are you under a load for the 4TH?

    Picked up a load in California on Wednesday. Deliver in New Jersey on Tuesday. Talk about extra time to make this run.

    wake up call

    Report that on the suggestion/comments line. VRU option 9, option 4. We used to have that happen all the time. There are some people at FedEx who do not think that they should be doing that.

    Yellow Truck Stock

    It went down to 15 cents, so I would have lost today. Maybe I'll wait for it to hit 10 or 12 cents. Hope you are having fun in Florida. We are originally from Cocoa and I worked in Orlando for 14 years.

    Yellow Truck Stock

    I do not know much about investing in stock, but I have been following YRCW (YellowTruck) stock for a few weeks now. As of 6/29/10 they are down to 16 cents per share. What does this mean for them as a company? I know they have been barely hanging on for a long time. Does this signal the end...

    Salt Lake City

    Thanks for the replys. We are in Ontario, CA trying to get back east for the fourth. It seems like all of our opps are to Salt Lake City or Phoneix. We don't want to get in that cycle of running back and forth right now. Need to head home.

    Salt Lake City

    I know Salt Lake City has become an express center recently. How is freight out of that area? Particularly surface expedite.
