expediter or OTR, who cares ... harmonize the mess, get it on one card and only one card so if one is an expediter one week and then driving a 'big rig' the next, there isn't 20 cards that he has to keep track of. Gas, Diesel, alien fuel - it should not matter.

No. The way it works is the A/C is controlled by the ECM, and there is an option to have the fan kick on when there is excessive high pressure (high condenser temps). The fan should not kick when it is turned on. I would like to know how the driver knows that the A/C is engaged? The...

Re: How are straight truck drivers driving for fleet owners doing mileage/income wise But Sky, the turnover rate only affects someone when they can't deal with normal crap and quit. Many will claim how easy the job they do is but leave out the part of the BS and the learning curve. As I showed...

You welcome. When you get to go to these 'trade shows' collect as many business cards as you can. Even if you only get to talk to a few, you now have a list to work with.

Instead of rolling out another program, just add and change the benefits to the existing program in the first place. One card works at Petro and T/A, no expiring points, one or two showers always in reserve and the use of the card at either location without any BS.

210 seems to be where I worry about it being hot.

Here is the thing, I think that no one is actually trying to find out the problem and spending the money but rather shifting blame. The owner shouldn't be having it out with the shop manager but asking for advice, if nothing calling Cummins and doing the same. If you had it at Cummins and they...

Calenders should be giveaways like pens.

Nah won't flame you but it just won't help the people who are working. I too am in the same situation, my wife works for the university and it has good health care. I had no health care and survived with some serious issues so anyone can live without it if they want. The problem with a lot...

Yea I would help if I didn't have a full work schedule but crap I am dealing with one small fleet, working on my own truck, and on top of all that cleaning out the mother-in-law's house while trying to get half of it into my own house.

Re: How are straight truck drivers driving for fleet owners doing mileage/income wise The best advice I have yet heard is this; Figure out what you want to do and why you want to do it, then look for the company that fits your goals by fitting into their goals and then look for an owner to...

I think maybe EO members with over 2000 posts should get a tee shirt sent to them for free? Maybe at 5000 posts something out of the EO gift catalog and those with 10k in posts a personal tour of EO headquarters with a paid lunch.

I don't know about that. It seems they are hunting in the dark. If they know anything about GM products, then they don't need a schematic or wiring diagram. There isn't much to these systems and not much has changed. Diagrams are gotten only two ways, through Helm who actually publishes the...

This may be offensive but when a service shop tells me that the the check engine light keeps coming on as well and they say there is nothing there, I take the truck somewhere else. These guys are not doing their job. Now with that said, I would take it to a Cummings engine dealer and only...

So if it isn't the ECM, then it is the clutch relay, and they replaced the relay? There isn't much between the relay and the ECM, the high pressure switch and if there isn't a signal from the ECM to the clutch relay, then it is not the ECM but something in between. I don't think it has changed...

I know what it was but is it really needed right now? Deployment of troops doesn't seem to happen by truck as it did 60 years ago. When we were mobilzing a nation in 1942, I can see the lack of a highway system being one of the problems but then again we had rail that actually worked. But...

Oh Boy :eek: Phil's got it right, 100% great advice.

Layout, that's scary. I would rather have the feds fund the system through the national fuel taxes but stay out of it. Is there a real need for the National Defense Highway?

It isn't amazing to think that this would happen after some of the crap that GM has pulled but there is a court case starting where two people are being charged with stealing trade secrets. It would seem normal but here is an odd statement that is being made ... "Theft of trade secrets is a...

YES I agree BUT I also feel that the roads we drive on should be of one standard, not 148 different standards and the states need to receive road funding that is the same per mile for the entire country and only adjusted based on actual costs, not union wage formulas.
