Yees they do but not as often, YET!!!

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower We are not sure about the reefer ever paying for itself, but then, we have only had it for a little over 2 months. We will make the choice on our next truck based on what happens with this one. FedEx pays %61 to reefer trucks on every load and...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Many types of explosive/chemical loads cannot be put on a reefer truck. Also, most, not all, reefer trucks have smaller inside dementions than do other trucks of the same size. THis is due to the type of insulation used on most reefer boxes...

OK, I THINK I can handle that. Thanks, Layoutshooter

I will look at the switch. Are they expensive? Are they hard to replace if I want to tackle it myself? Keep in mind that I am a mechcanical idiot. Layoutshooter

My windshield wipers keep coming on all by themselvs. This is not a good thing, tends to spred bug gook all over things. I stopped at the Frieghtliner in N. Little Rock today and talked to them about it. They say it is a common complaint and that Frieghtliner has a new switch that takes care of...

If they had a spine or a brain they are working in pvt industry. NO need to worry about brains or guts from our wonderful, gloryous elected whatcha-ma-callits. Layoutshooter

Hey Jack-Berry, I was not speaking of you. I was speaking of Congressman John Dingell, Dem, from SE MI, Detroit/Monroe/Ann Arbor area. I forget the district # right now, must be part timers. Wants to raise the gas tax and do a bunch of other things to *fight global warming.* Yea right, like...

You tell um Greg, bet the Gov is on thier side, more pay, more taxes. That is till the whole place falls apart. Did you see Dingell-Berry's plan to raise the gas tax by $.50? What a great idea. If the gas price at $3 was too high and it was Bush's fault how is $3.50 ok if a Dem comes up with the...

I like the radioactive bugs!!!! Where can I buy some? Do they glow brighter than headlights? MMMM a real money saver!!! HEHEHE Layoutshooter

If you need chains park should be the rule. I will NEVER chain up to drive into bad weather. I might chain up to get out if I cannot find a safe place to park. To be really effective you need them on the steers as well. No use having increased drive/braking traction if you can't steer the beast...

My load that was delivered today was #6400 and we got 9.95mph. Layoutshooter

On the #3000 run I got 9.47mpg. That included 4 hours on the APU, two hours running around in heavy traffic from gate to gate looking for a delivery that no one knew where it was going too and 6 hours idling after the *&^*&*%$ APU quit working AGAIN!!! Layoutshooter

I had to order it on line, don't think it is sold over the counter. I ordered 1 gallon of summer mix and 2 gallons of the winter. Yes Moot, it is great for tired eyes and constipation. A shot with your coffee cures all !!!! HEHEHEHE Just kidding. Layoutshooter

I just recently changed to using Opti-Lube fuel additive with every fill up. I had been using Power Service in the grey bottle. I changed due to things that I read in here. I saw a 3/4 to 1 mpg increase in my fuel mileage after the second use and it continues. My engine runs much quieter as...

Thank you for your service and there is no shame in living as you do. If you can start to earn a wage as well, so much the better but you earned your checks. If you are ever in Mich in Nov or early Dec and like to hunt duck, look me up. I will take you on a layout hunt. Layoutshooter

I try to remember to call about 2 weeks prior to a planned home trip. It has worked pretty good so far. I have only run out of one perscription one time. Layoutshooter

I have thought about the idea of buying a tank full, I wonder if they have enough pressure to work on large tires. I run 115 in my steers, that is a lot to overcome. I put the crossfires on to help monitor things. So far, so good. Layoutshooter

Does NTB handle large truck tires or only passenger/lt truck? Layoutshooter
