One of the drawbacks of running a C or D unit is that you will be required to maintain and operate by a log book.If you are running as a team that is usually not a problem but if you are a single driver the log book can keep you from getting offers.After you are on duty for 15 hours or driving...

I have had the Delphi XM setup for about 6 months now and frankly don!t know how I got along without it. I also bought the home kit and just bring the tuner from the truck to our home. My wife used to rent a lot of audio tapes at $5-12 per tape and since XM she hasn!t rented any. One thing in...

If it had a C 8.3L engine I think it would be OK,but thats a lot of miles for that B engine.The B is not a wet sleeve engine so you cannot have a in frame rebuild,basically have to buy a new one. Remember that B engine is used in a lot of light applications,like the Dodge Ramcharger etc. Unless...

A couple of years ago there was a Canadian Expediter who was quite active on EO.I believe he ran for Dynamex and did a lot of automtive freight between Ontario points and Michigan.. I don!t want to mention his name but I believe he was quite satisfied with Dynamex.

As far as engines go I can!t say enough for Cummins SouthEast Power in Jacksonville.Very honest,very good and very expensive but you get what you pay for and in their case it!s worth it.

Over the years I have dealt with about 15-20 Freightliner Dealerships. I have also found Hans Freightliner in Cleveland to do the best quality work and also get you in when they promised. Stoops in Indianapolis has also been good to me.The worst ones in my experience are Ft Worth Freightliner in...

I would say the most important thing is to always stay calm and be POLITE. This will go a long way in reducing any problems that may come up.Have youe paperwork filled out in advance,know the various procedures and you will be ok. Border crossings don!t always have the same procedures,what works...

Thanks Bill,I needed that.

I think Ed Houseworth is a good way to get your feet wet and see if this lifestyle is for you.There is no long term commitment and no fixed payments to worry about.The only thing that would concern me is that he wants you to have a 90% availability rate.This means that in a one month period of...

Give OOIDA a call 1-800 -444-5791. They can probably recommend an attorney in the area that you received the violation in.Or e mail at [email protected]

I may take some heat on this but this is one of the few times I have exercised my position as a Moderator on EO. I was watching the posts that were coming on EO about the impending Irag mess and starting to see various well intentioned people starting to take sides and draw lines as too their...

Frank and I have disagreed about this subject for several years. First of all Frank I am glad to hear that you are doing OK. I know you had some medical problems and it!s good to hear from you again on EO I have run D units with 33,000 lbs gross for 15 years and have always taken the mileage...

Lynchburg VA,Charlotte NC,The west side of Cleveland,and the 1 area lacking decent facilities is in my opinion Boston Ma.area.

Tony that price of water absolutely blows my mind.In January my wife and I took a 10 day vacation and went to Las vegas and Utah. I was sitting on the plane coming back at the Las Vegas airport and about 8-9 young women (late 20!s) came aboard.Everyone was carrying a bottle of water like it was...

Great job Lawrence and Jeff plus anyone else.Very professional layout,should bring more drivers and companies to the site

Phone # for Fern Bennnet is 1-405-376-4075, If you are leased to Fedex CC or Conway she and the state of OK will not help you.OK decided this year that leases from those 2 companies are not 100% exclusive so you have to register and IRP in your home state.Sure caused me a lot of headaches and $...

That card still brings a smile to my face.Anyone who has that sense of humor and can poke fun at himself is truly a GREAT GUY.

There is a Speedco in the Toledo area on I 280 near the Petro. They charge about $15.00 and will give you the results in about 15 minutes.If you always go to the same Speedco for your analysis they will give you a printout comparing the analysis to your last one.I carry mine with me in my...

Larry your words are so true,I get amazed at the condition of some of the drivers I see out on the road,young guys that are 150 pounds overweight yet eating like starving dogs. I carry wiith me in the box one of the folding bicycles made by DAHON . I will park at a Walmart,assemble the bike and...

My decision would be quite easy and made very rapidly..I would post on EO thatI have a free truck available for the first person who get here. I like to drive around the country but I could drive one of those $400,000 plus RV!S, or a $80,000 Corvette or something that big and floats,I think the...
