    Call Quality

    I'm likely switching phone providers and since they all seem to have fairly similar unlimited data plans my question is about call/signal quality and service availability. I know Verizon is best but they just pissed me off in a big way...so I want to switch. So...here in 2017...what are your...

    The Newer Unreliable Cargo Vans

    Or, buy a GM or Ford E series cutaway with a body on it (doesn't have to be a cube). Reliable as heck, cheap to fix and maintain...and decent fuel mileage is attainable if you drive it right.

    Nope...you fill in your crossing eta...the port you are going to use, apply a paps sticker to the invoice and send it all into the mothership experts.

    The person who does our customs stuff between 10am and 6pm is phenomenal... rarely an issue and if there is...you get updates. Outside of those hours if there is even the slightest hiccup the wheels fall off and all goes dark.....it's soul crushing.

    Starting wiht sprinters

    Do you have your own customers (shippers who pay you directly)? If you are going to run competitive bid board freight like most of the world, and then split that with a driver or driver and carrier....well....there isn't much of that "profit" you speak of....like none. Seriously...the expedite...

    April in Load One

    Ahh..."logistics". Directly booked load and so far (2.5 hours) said shipper has no idea what I'm here for. Had a contact name, AWB, pick number, freight description... all that good stuff......nope. Met the contact name...nice fellow...no idea why I'm here. So me and the dock guys have a...

    Big Truck Tranny Coolers

    Define "warm"....210F is the new 190F nowadays. If your transmission is operating properly, going down the highway at 65 the torque converter should be locked up and in this state, the transmission doesn't generate that much heat...your cooling system should be able to handle it easily. If you...

    Box Truck Roof Air Deflectors?

    The dealership may glaze and drool because there was rarely a factory offered roof deflector for the M2...it was almost always a dealer source and install item (unless you were some mega fleet like Penske)...so if that particular dealer had never done one...well they're lost. Anything you find...

    Mechanical N 14 Cummins Problem ?

    Sounds like a fuel supply problem (acceleration increases demand). Truck of that age I'd be looking at all the fuel suction lines for soft or collapsing hoses or air leaks. A older style Cummins fuel system like this will tolerate a bit of air in the fuel but will usually stumble on...
