Try calling the Freightliner hot line in Oregon,might help. 1-800-385-4357

The requirement of 90% availability is asking a lot. That only gives you 3 guaranteed days off a month,so don!t get sick,have breakdowns,get tired etc. I think 75-80 % is a lot more realistic.

RE: What kind of annual Gross can a Well I am an old timer ( think),I have run 3 class 7 trucks. Two were Mercedes Benz!s and at present an old worn out FL 70 with a Cummins C 8.3.. I have always managed 10-12 MPG. I cruise at about 64 mph and rarely idle for any long periods. The worst MPG...

I just read that land Line article about the Conway Lady that had a long wait to get unloaded in Long Island NY and could not run her engine for heat. When the new rules go into effect she may have had to wait an additional 10 hours before she could get warm,or buy a Motel room.Last Saturaday a...

However let us not forget the salaries that were earned in the 50!s. I don!t qualify but I rember my Father and some of my Uncles talking about ,when Frank Gifford was the number one draft choice of the NY Giants football team. My Uncle Tom said"Can you believe they gave that guy a $7,000...

We unloaded in King of Prussia PA thursday moring with a load from Cape Canerval FL. After listening to the weather radio on XM and the US Today weather forecast,we hightailed it out of there,. Got down to Richmond VA and turned down 4 load offers,that would have taken us right back into the...

This one is an absolute classic.I had to send it on to a bunch of people including my WIFE of 17 years.

RE: A Matter of Choice I was under the impression that a US driver could do ONE internal Candian load and then had to come back to the US.A couple of years ago we did a weekend trip from Brantford Ontario to Halifax Nova Scotia. We had no problems other then,we could not get A New Brunswick...

You said you couldn!t handle a stick shift. Nowadays many D units have full Allison Automatics or Eaton Auto Shifts where you only use the clutch when you start or stop. Also the standard Fuller Eaton 6 speed does not require double clutching like the big trucks do,so think about that.You can do...

One important thing to do is have a valid DOT Medical card.This will save time and if you have a health issue that won!t let you drive at least you know it up front. Around Youngstown shouldn!t cost more than about $40. You will also have to pass a drug test for anyone who might wnat to hire...

RE: What kind of annual Gross can a Well your numbers sound good but my friend you are not going to run 140 hours every week. You are assuming that when you get unloaded you will be immeadiately dispatched on another load. That doesn!t happen.You may have to wait 1-3 days even with a team to...

RE: What kind of annual Gross can a "D" unit expec Many factors go into a gross revenue figure.Teams obviously make more due to longer trips and having available hours. Personal factors such as are you willing to stay away from home long periods of time. The company you are leased to may do...

One of the things I have read about high BP is that it is always worse in the morning.When you have been in a horizontal position all night you blood is distributed evenly throughout your body. Then when you get out of bed gravity causes your blood to flow to the lower half of your torso.At that...

Pretty much depends on your engine size and idle rpm.Big trucks seem to use about a gallon a hour.

Base on where you said you live ,deadheading up to St Louis or Cape Giradeau MO would probably be better. Most freight out of Memphis and Northern MS goes north and in many instances requires a team.

If you don!t mind sharing it ,what was your BP.Extra weight and high BP seem to go hand in hand.Best to staighten it out without medicine if you can.
