My truck did not come that way but I am leaning that way quickly. I am not very good with that kind of work. I am sure I could get one off the other truck/trailer. I doubt I would be able to do the connections. I would have to remove lines that are feeded the reefer/APU out of my main tanks. I...

How much did it cost you? I want a 40 gal. I want to run my reefer and APU off of it. Layoutshooter

Has anyone ever had a reefer tank put on thier truck or put one on themselves? Was wondering what it would cost. With fuel getting up in price a bit it might be worth it now. Layoutshooter

I am not too bothered by the length of the dead head. If the *all miles* rate is good then I take it. What we seldom do is take a long dead head to a bad freight area. If it were to cancel then we we would stuck. A long dead head to a good area is ok. Then at least you can get loaded quick if it...

What a relief!!!! LOL layoutshooter

One reason that they will not scream for diesel cars is the highter taxes on diesel. Our dummies in congress tax want they want us to go to. Hey does anyone know that the only thing is this country that is more useless than a US Senator? T*ts on a Toad!!! And we have 3 of the running for pres...

The most nerdy guy in our school did not live long enough to even get close to cool. That is the problem with not being born cool. It makes it hard to thrive, but some have made it. True is is very few but there has been some. Those who are not cool must strive to acheive. There is cool in the...

For more on cool reference movies that star Steve McQueen, Yul Brenner, Lee Marvin etc. Cool is not Pee Wee Herman. Layoutshooter

That is what most people think. While I was born VERY cool I became cooler with age. I went to a cool school!!!! As I progressed I moved cool beyond what I found when I started cool. Cool is a state of mind. Un-cool people can become cool by chilling out. Layoutshooter

Hey Greg, Next time you are "stuck" in Erie PA try to find the Erie Farm Market. Neat store. lots of off the wall chesses and VERY low prices. Can dig up enough stuff there for making a good meal in the truck. Also go to the Wegmans there. Lots of made up foods that are better than most...

"Cool Factor" is another one of the biggies when trucks are dispatched. I am a charter member of the "National Cool Factor Association" We are the group that decides what is cool and what is not. That is how I know what "Cool" is. For to get better dispatches you have to become cool. It takes a...

You mean to tell me that we have to be awake when we drive? I drive with my eyes closed anyway. It's way too scary out there to see what is going on. Glad to hear you are alright. I hope you can get things fixed. I feel asleep driving home from a fire one time. We were out on a factory fire for...

LOL, I get around my lack of proper English by not speaking it!!!! I speak 'Merican!!! I lived in England for 5 years, take my word for it, we DO NOT speak English in this country. As to the real subject of this thread, there will always be people who look to blame others if things don't work...

AS long as people are involed there will be problems from time to time. I doubt, at least at FDCC, that it is the rule. They have too much to lose. I sometmes think that I have been passed by for runs. Once they even told me that a mistake was made. It can and does happen. I don't think for one...

Thanks I sent it to you, I need all the help I can get. Layoutshooter

We have been pretty busy. Lot's of longer runs that paid better than fair. Not having a bad year at all. We even had to do a 34 hour re-set once this year already. The BEST paying run we EVER had was a short run. We ran a load from FedEx Air to Carribean Air in Miami. It was a whole TWO...

Electric. I need to find a REALLY good Freightliner shop that is EXPERT on AC problems. The guy in Caton told me up front that his AC techs were away on training and that thier shop does not specialize in AC. This is driving me nuts. I have a few days scheduled off in June. I hope I can find a...

I only have 3 years in so I don't know if I can shed much light. We find MOST expediters to be a really friendly bunch. We run into a few whiners but they are easy to ignore for the most part. We are having a good year, doing better than last year so we won't complain. Layoutshooter

Here is an update on the on-going saga of my engine fan. I took my truck to the Western Branch Diesel in Caton OH. They fixed a "Factory Modification" (recall) issue. There was a problem with freeze plugs popping out for no reason. It could happen while you were running. I had them look at the...

Greg, Sorry to hear about your loss. It is always hard to lose a loved one even after a prolonged illness. You are in our prayers. Layoutshooter
