I am talking about the fleet owner and the driver, not the carrier. It used to be that you didn't need any contract but now.....

What's your contract say?

I am finding it is not how much you work but how much they reconcile the logs against the QC data.

You got to do what you got to do. Not all of us belong to that exclusive invite only RVing expediting club. :cool:

Yep and so did Lee Harvey Oswald. What was cheesy about the question?

NO, they don't require a QC on your truck. Also I find it near impossible to pull off, especially with the two logs and the fact that LEAM will question you if your truck consistently disappears and than reappears somewhere else with a limited amount of hours. They seem to like the QC system a...

Don't want to be a smarta** but did you just buy this truck and it didn't have an APU?

Actually that is sort of true, the engine is most definitely Mercedes, but it was a plan to put a gasser in the sprinter before the sale of the Chrysler division - so it is a Daimler - Chrysler engine. The crossfire is the same case, Mercedes engine in it. But it is a Mercedes engine any which...

Yep, it is Mercedes, m 272 E35. I understand they don't expect to sell a lot of them but most mercedes dealers will be able to service them easier than the OM engines because they it is the same engine that they put into the SLK series among others. I would expect that there is a lot of after...

I knew about him, met him a few times when he was here in Detroit. He knew the local CBS station manager who went to school with a relative and many of us kids went over there to see him and Mr. Brannumm. He did indeed became a member of the armed forces, but he did not serve in combat nor did...

It is hard to explain, the simple version is that the dealers are 'sold' the vehicles without actually ordering them as part of their franchise agreement and considered 'preordered' products that when they are built (not delivered) the dealer now owes the company for them. The other part of...

Reruns of the capt? wow I didn't think there were any.

Sorry, I was working though my email and really didn't think to add it here. Well here is the deal, this may be the problem. Sometime during the production run of the 1998 to 2002 engines, there was an 'upgrade' kit that was used on the cabling to the fuel pressure sensor. If you have that...

Sent you a PM to answer your PM, I was making supper just after I posted.

The title of the thread is "Do you know what it cost for you to operate?" To me, maybe because I am not the financial guru that some are I don't see what Return on Investment has a thing to do with actual operating costs or the question put forth to the forum members. Now I maybe wrong but I...

David, Like it says in the article, the problem is not the the cell phone, it is the person. It don't matter if they or you have a hands free setup, if the person or you can't focus on driving first and the call second, you are unsafe regardless. I have seen some pretty bad stuff with all...

Steve, don't take this wrong but out of all the people who claim to be the most versatile (if you remember that thread on versatility?), an E unit is most definitely the way to go, especially if you can keep the mileage up and you prove it. Oh by the way, back to back runs today, tomorrow out...

PLEASE what engine do you have? If it is an ISC I can tell you what the problem may very well be.

Steve, stop rubbing it in :), we are all.... well happy for you.....:D If I had a tractor in this area, I would be moving all the time - even container freight but...... no tractor.

Gettlefinger is not happy with GMs offer, saying that it messes things up. Maybe the UAW can subsidize us, they seem to be the one with the money. GM announced that they will close the Windsor Ont transmission plant by 2010 and I have a feeling the AA plant here will be closed soon too.
