My FL 70 is a 1996 model and has the same problem,however I think it is a design problem.The so called floor vents are nothing more than small grille type inserts on the bottom of the dash and very little heat come out of them. One thing that I found was one of the air hoses behind the dash was...

I believe the wording of that letter was 100% off base. The comcard is assigned to the truck,not a individual driver. The truck is owned by someone so funds paid into the com account are actually the truck owners,and how they wish to disperse it is their business.One thing that I heard which may...

Weave I have never had trouble with the mirrors but about 3 weeks ago,I was coming down I 79 in West Va at night,the temp was about 14 degrees and my throttle linkage fell apart.I was able to repair it,kept going and it fell apart the next morning near Atlanta.I put it all back together again...

Even that bastion liberal newspaper the Washington Post has called for AG to give it up.One thing for sure is that the world who looks upon us ALL as a bunch of dumb a-- truckers has never reviwed this site..

Gary,I don!t think I will ever hold my head in shame.We have had to put up with Bill Clinton for 8 years and that is enough shame for a lifetime. However when does this thing end? The democrats petioned for recounts in selected areas. They were given an additional week. The recounts were then...

Well what has happened to our colleague Garry Addis. Gary I figured,based on what has happened over the last few days you would have had a lot to say.Are you disgusted with the Democrats litigating over any issue that they can find.I wonder why Al (lets count them again)Gore only wanted heavily...

I don!t know if you received my E mail so I will post my answer here.What you are referring to is called landing gear. This what supports the front of a trailer when the tractor is removed. Any truck body or trailer repair facility should be able to help you on this. Another term is dolly...

Kyle and Neo.Thank you for your comments.I am not burned out on Expediting,Frankly I enjoy the lifestyle and the every day is different routine. I realize that all markets change and the change may not always benefit you as a individual. However I have never made decisions on a emotional...

Try asking for Load Lock bars,or if you have E tracks ask for E track bars.Most general truck supply or material management companies will have them.Barring that a good sized truck stop will have them,but you will pay a premium..

To add some fuel to the fire,yesterday(thanksgiving) I was parking my truck near my son!s house in Suwanee GA and a car pulled in and the driver was the wife of the Atlanta sales agent for FedexCC.In the course of a nice conversation I mentioned how I was concerned over this UrgentFreight Load...

Sure hope they make it.Someone once said " If you have a accident in a Yugo, you go""

If your ISP is AOL click on $ Quotes,type in FDX for the stock symbol and then highlight the press releases on the bottom.The total price for the company plus taking on American Freightways debt was $1.2 Billion. Nice piece of change.They say that they intend to try to complement Viking!s...

One thing you can do if possible is to make your way to Dallas TX this weekend for the Great American Truck Show.There should be plenty of licensing agents who can explain and assist (for a fee) the process of getting your own authority.Also stop by the Expediters On Line booth and Lawrence and...

To add to my previous post,I have a brother in law who is in chage of a small company in Paterson Ga that makes caps and hats.He called me today and said they had received a very slick brochure from www.urgentfreight.com outlining all that they do for expedited freight.The brochure stated that...

Log on to WWW Urgent freight.Com and you will see why Fedex freight is slow.This is a loadboard website operated by Fedex CC for shippers.Shippers can post loads and and other carriers than Fedex CC can bid on this load ,get the load and pay Fedex CC a percentage of the revenue,while those of...

Last month I was actually sitting at a shippers desk signing the BOL when he received a phone call from a dispatcher saying that they had lost me and another truck would be coming in to get the load.Even though I had sent the proper PU arrival message,they didn!t bother to look at it. The...

I have a similar truck and generally pay about $400 per year for about 90,000 miles around the country..I am regstered in OK

That excuse sounds like a typical BS reason to excuse you from the load.I don!t think they actually monitor you when you are available to see if you are moving around etc. The Qual Com unit goes from Quiet to Good when the ignition is on so that large fleets can determine if a driver is doing a...

Garry Lighten up,What you have down there in South FL is a bunch of whining transplanted New Yorkers who have complained about something as soon as they were able to talk.That ballot was endorsed by both parties,published in the newspaper and all registered voters had a sample ballot mailed to...
