    Is this realistic

    Frank, not a big deal. I think you will have to choose the company carefully and have some solid goals to what you expect out of this. If you are expecting 'Freedom' it may not be all that free as some make it out as. Like my company, we do not have line five (driving - off duty) and the...

    showers for gas burners

    I wrote to Obama's Hours of Service Czar and asked for Vans to be included in the Commercial Vehicle Category so they can also push for a shower provision, making every truck stop provide free showers with a 15 gallon fill up with comdata cards. She wrote back that she will include that in her...

    whats better, percentag or millage pay?

    I'm with Dave, out of 120 load offers and loads, I have been asked for a lift gate three times with this company. My previous company once. I have gotten more reefer work which means more money overall. The problem with the lift gate and all of this talk about having more opportunities means...

    can a reefer have plywood walls?

    Pjjj, It depends on the model of the reefer unit. I have a Carrier 722 on the truck and one spare unit I got for parts. I have a 6KW motor (220-460 VAC 3 ph) on my spare unit. That works out to 27 amps at 220 VAC being drawn. The unit runs at a lower BTU rating when running on electric...

    To Sen. Scott Brown's Daughters: Welcome to Politics

    Well I think you should understand that respecting a politicians privacy while the politician is ignoring the people's privacy may be one of the root causes for some of the changes you see. This has been happening since we were founded, nothing really new, but society has taken things a bit too...

    To Sen. Scott Brown's Daughters: Welcome to Politics

    Just the fact that they are american false idol speaks volumes. BUT they are open targets, just as chelsey is during the campaign when she was asked about monika, all fair because these are not children. Palin's daughter, the one now getting married is also open to what ever comes her way...

    can a reefer have plywood walls?

    So. My point is when you are buying the truck, plywood is a cheap fix to problems like holes in the wall and scrapes that need to be repairs. Have you bought a truck lately? Reefer work sometimes means holding things over in this market, sometimes you will have three or four days with the...

    can a reefer have plywood walls?

    If there is plywood, then it is either damaged beyond repair or can't hold temps. Plywood is so unprofessional. If they are going on with FedEx or Panther, it won't pass. AND a bit of advice, don't buy the thing without Thermo-King or Carrier looking at the unit - get them to do an good...

    can a reefer have plywood walls?

    NO not normally. If there is etrack stuck on the plywood, don't even consider the truck.

    Rand McNally TND 700

    Dude, I will keep this short. The reason we keep poking the subject is we have yet heard these words "thank you, I will pass them on" and then hear from someone else who WORKS for RM with some feedback about our ideas. You don't work for them but you are representing them which I don't get...

    To Sen. Scott Brown's Daughters: Welcome to Politics

    NO you didn't get it. I am saying that the parents are prostituting the kids for political gains, not that the children are. The same thing happens with parents who push their kids in the entertainment industry, Judy Garland and Shirley Temple are very good examples because their parents...

    ac nightmare in sprinter van

    I don't really feel he did all he could so because the condenser would be replaced if it is leaky or seriously plugged (which means a flush, replacing the dryer and expansion valve is in order oh and the compressor), the blower motor would be replaced if the thing stopped working or was slow...

    Fuel Mileage with FL-60

    They put 5.9 cummins in the FL50/60s and they even put Dodge Magnum V8s in them. Imagine having a gasser in a freightliner?
