I would ask the fuel desk person about this. I think I have seen big trk drvrs fill their running tanks.Clear the pump then move forwarde to fill the reefer tank. The second fill for the reefer is prob exempt from road use tax. They must arrange this in advance with the desk. I would think...

There are lots of owners looking for drivers.Just visit the EO classifieds on this site. You can also call any of the expediting companys that advertise here. They allways know of owners looking for drivers.

Just curious...How was the parking at the ballpark? PS. XM radio is great for keeping up with MLB. ALL the games are broadcast.

A service manager at a Navistar dealer once told me any time you run a medium duty engine over 300k you are asking for trouble. His experiance was of course baised on years of experience with these trucks primarly used in city delivery.I am sure that OTR expediting extends this rule of thumb to...

This is not a one size fits all business.What is adequate home time for one is not what the next person would like. It also makes a big difference in weather you run a van or a truck with a sleeper. For us we are out 3 to 5 weeks then 4 or 5 days home.

"C" trucks are the most requested size,acording to one recruiter.Most "D" trucks carry about 75% "C"loads. "C"trucks carry less than 10% "B" loads.(Team)

With FECC...contractor supplies plackards. I belive Response books are free. Many large HM shippers will hand out stick-on plackards with the PU of the freight. Although it is the shippers responsibility to have every thing in order, we should be prepaired to help those who only ship these...

I am sure glad I drive an old junker when on my time off.(I.E. 85 Merc) I hit a deer inside the city limits in Fort Wayne In. The only damage was to the cheap plastic grille. A newer car would probably be thousands. If he had totalled the car,I would be out a few hundred bucks.

If installing the batteries inside the van, be sure to use deep cycle AIRCRAFT type batteries. They are sealed and will not emit dangerous fumes. You can also have a welding shop build a below the floor box. I know PJ Body shop in Canton Ohio has fabricated this kind of set up.

I have developed a habit I will share.Maybe it will work for you. Any time a card comes out of my wallet,my wallet remains in my hand untill that card goes back in that wallet. There are often a lot of distractions that go on at that fuel desk.

Pay to park is and has been all over the west coast. Today I am parked at TA Southington Ct. $12.00,or free W/50 gal. Truck stops could enhance revenue by having shore power at reasonable cost. Idle aire is an overkill. All I need is electricity.

Truck has to be "CLEAN AND NEAT"? Such pressure...I dont think I can take It.

One thing to consider when you have a close space between the sleeper and box,is the location of the Qualcom antenna. The antenna is usally mounted on the box.On most "Condo" sleepers this puts the roof real close to the QC bracket.In one case the up and down movement of the sleeper (W/air...

Leo...that kid was only learning to drive the Michigan(Detroit)way. Just wait untill he completes the part where he cuts across 3 lanes cutting you and everybody else off. From there on its into full blown Road Rage. He will make his daddy proud.
