Your post is slightly confusing. If you are running the batteries down, you either have something on or a item that is not grounded correctly. As mentioned, it could be the inverter. I would first check to ensure the inverter is gounded properly. A simple amp meter test will tell if there is a...

Hi back at you. With regards to you injectors, that time frame (3 weeks) doesn't seem right. I can have them next day freight right from CAT in IL. This may help or at least tell you if you are getting the straight information. They have access to the large Chicago warehouse or direct ship...

I'm glad you said you were on vacation with your totals. We run at a slightly less rate but quite a bit more miles. You are correct in that they do have the tolls out east and sometimes we do have to pay. The good news is that we run mostly the midwest,Texas, and the southeast which is toll...

Depending on your mirror style, I would think the top. My thoughts on this is that it would give you a bigger span on your camera. The downside is that it might be alittle harder to clean the lens. Wire entry into the cab will have less resistance from the top, verses the bottom. If you have the...

They sound like the old Holland folding type. If they are hard to crank, set them at one inch from the ground when extended. When loading, drop the air out of your suspension. This will put the weight on the landing gear. Once loaded, refill suspension with air. They will be just off the ground...

Who makes your landing gear? I am not quite following putting pads down and then cranking the gear down. I think I am missing something? Do these crank straight down or kind of unfold? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Mount the cable in the box on the inside track with the other wires. Camera mounting might be able to go on the inside track if it is deep enough. The trick is to make sure the camera is either recessed enough or set back far enough so dock bumper pads don't damage your unit. Installation in...

As mentioned by everyone is that freight volumes are tight out west. Just go to any load board and the results are there. There is alot of freight still available out west but a large degree of it is very cheap. That affects all companies including Fedex. The decent runs as mentioned are usually...

When I refer to agents, they are not dispatchers. They are Fedex freight brokers. I currently have no equipment leased at Fedex but my trucks do haul their loads from time to time. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII

It sounds like no one was hurt so the next phase is your truck. If it can be driven to a dealer, that would be the first stop. You need a estimate and a complete review of what the damage is. As mentioned, the frame, box, sleeper, ect really has to be looked at. Most likely the will send a...

Highway star wrote Oh, Dave, when a person reaches a certain age, isn't it great to still have hair to lose? =========================================== It certainly is. I have to vote on a high top van. Much more cost efficient than Hair Club for Men. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

Good, bad, or indifferent, I actually like Fox news. They are slanted the same as CNN, but I enjoy their broadcast. If one wants the whole truth, it is likely somewhere in between. It is the media. Their job is to entertain, not necessarily to pass factual information. Davekc owner 21 years...

As mentioned in another thread, Fedex is hiring out in Reno. It is not expediting but does require a reefer straight truck. If you have a paid for truck(or close to it) and live close to Reno this may be a opportunity for you. It almost sounds like an ad? For information you can call; Pat...

The only time I have ever seen anything like 20 percent is if it is paid to each driver on a team truck. That is 40 percent to the drivers total and the owner paying fuel and receiving surcharge and the remaining balance. 20 percent to a single driver would be a waste of time as you just figured...

64" seems like it would be tight. If you add insulation and something on the floor it might drop to 60" to 62" mark. I would be dragging my head and losing hair. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I guess the question is.....how often are those $1.98 per mile loads available? If you book your own loads with Panther, regardless of the source, you can put as many loads on the truck as you want. Leo is correct in that most expedite loads dispatched through Panther are exclusive use. The...

If you are sold on the chevy, I would stick with something that has worked for you. I don't have any vans but I as well like the Aero concept. You get the durability that you are use to, and alittle more room for living. Not sure how they price compare??? but comfort has a value. Davekc...

It was a pleasure to meet you and so many others. It is nice to be able to put a face to alot of the screen names. The workshops are so helpful, I wish they were around when I started. Again, glad I got a chance to meet you and provide some helpful advice. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...
