I have the same setup but a smaller sleeper. I would recommend you get an oil analysis.The Speedco places can do this in about 15 minutes. If the truck was routinely serviced at Freightliner dealers,they can take the vin number and give you a history of maintenance.As far as opening up the...

Lets clear the air on this topic. First of all both Weave and Teacel are good guys,excellent moderators and have made many posts at 0200-0300-0400 etc in order to give advice and help to other expediters that were looking to get solid information in this area. I would ask all who read this to...

Thanks a lot.I think I have replaced the tensioner b4,But I bet thats what it is. I will check on Monday.

This problem started on my Cummins late last year,then the winter came and I did nothing about it,now the hot weather is here and the problem still exists. When I have the A/C on at about 1500 to 1700 RPM the A/C compressor makes a groaning noise and seems to suck power out of the engine. I...

There have been some difficulties (to say the least) with the A Team.I have kept quiet about these difficulties but I would advise all that it is in your best interests to be extremly careful in any response that you may wish to reply to their comments about expediting. Nuff said. Just keep it...

Based on what I hear on the Bill Cunningham show I think it!s wise to get through Cincinnati as fast as possible.

I have been out 3 weeks running hard,made some decent bucks,and do not understand this bashing of FDX CC. Hear me Brandy, I have been with FDX ( Roberts) since 1987 and have always earned a adequate income. I do not agree 100% with their policies but I am free to leave if I want to. No Company...

Try Bennett Truck Transport,1-877-391-1796. Met a couple last year that hauled for them,they had a Dodge Ram Charger with the Cummins engine,had a 5th wheel hookup and a straight hitch..I received some info from this company,expect to earn about .72 cents per loaded mile. They pay tolls when...

RE: Hybrid Electric Diesel; A Sign of Things to Co The Hybrid idea is great for local city type delivery vehicles that do not need to go at Highway speeds etc. I was in Las cruces NM a while back and while parked got chatting with a guy who had a Toyota Hybrid car. He let me drive it around a...

Gentlemen,while profanity doesn!t bother me in the least we have some real decent Christian folks that are active on this site ,so lets keep the language clean.OK.

I an!t speak for the GMC or Cat engine but I had a alternator installed on my Cummins C engine in less then 1 hour by Montgomery Freightliner. Alternator plus labor was $160.00.

When Conway Now first started up,for a while they had B Cargo vans pulling trailers.Made a lot of sense to me but I havn!t seen this setup in some time.Perhaps a Conway recriuter could enlighten you.Have you thought about using the van for your cargo and perhaps hauling a small RV trailer,you...

Hey Tony,forget that flat bed,after your half day training we will get you into Michigan where you can pull a set of doubles with about 35 axles. I think they can haul about 160,000 pounds. No sweat for the BLANK team. LOL

If you go thru the VRU,go to option2/option8/ then type in the 3 letter city code for the city you are interesed in ,it will give you the information as too how many trucks are there etc.I tried it today and it seemed to work. I am authorized on the JCK board and checked ORL just to see if the...

Sean, I know the company you are leased to as I have seen that message many times. Consider it a RED FLAG as what it means is that it!s a junk load that has been offered around and no one will take it,due to low pay or some other reason.Since you were in Toledo it meant that all of the Detroit...

The Cummins B engine is a dry sleeve engine and is basically not rebuildable,wheras as the C is a wet sleeve meaning the cylinders have liners that can be removed,new pistons and liners can be installed without having to rebore the block.This can be accomplished without removing the engine from...

A 3126 Cat and a Spicer 7 speed will get you on a first name basis with your local Fl,KW, Pete dealer or local repair facility.You will never have to worry about running out of hours. After a few years you may get hired as a technician on said engine and transmission as you will have a lot of...

Anybody seen or heard from Wild Bill lately?

Does anybody know what relay powers the box lights on a 1996 FL 70.I have never had problems with the top marker lights until I had the rear door sanded ,painted and made to look nice so FDX would extend my lease for 1 more year. I was stopped by the GA DOT for a class 1 inspection and the all...

Don!t know what happened here but I did not mean to repeat Fr Shakers comments. I was just curious as too how Swift tried to kill you.I thought oufits like Swift,JB and Schenider took it easy on their drivers.
