We often run at that rpm range, it works best on flat land. That is close to a shift point and if it is too hilly it shifts far to much. I will then kick it up just a touch to get it past that. I am looking into having my shift points changed.

I would not anyone working for me in any job/business that did not have a professional attitude no matter what their position was. I demand that of myself and expect it from all others that have worked for me. Taking pride in ones self and how you do your job or run your business is one of the...

We have a reefer truck so we transport illegal aliens during slow time!! :p

It does seem that way sometimes. I would think that they may wish to rethink this system somewhat. It is causing problems.

I keep close track of my MPG. Loss of MPG is one sign of problems with the truck so we watch it like a hawk. We run between 55-63 mph. That is in the 1200-1400 rpm range.

Not until they change how they dispatch. I cannot afford those acceptance levels. Under the old system I was around 75-80% I shudder to think how low it is now. I just get far too many really "stupid" offers these days that I am just not going to take.

Why would a team take a load under 650? How about $450 for two blocks? Or, maybe the one that went 3 miles and paid over $2000? OR..................... It is NOT the miles. It is the overall pay package. Time vs. miles, vs. pay and including the "hassle factor". Everything comes into play when...

We just recently saw a DSxxxx sprinter in California. That was 3 or 4 months ago. We never did see the driver to talk with them. There is at least on local DRxxxx unit that I know of. He lives near Harrisburg, PA. He works just in that area, NYC, etc. Says he does quite well too. He runs solo...

We went for breakfast. Yeah, we have a life, small one for sure, but we do have one!! :D

Strange things do happen to say the least. We too have been "passed over" for loads that according to the "system" we should have be put on them. One in particular comes to mind. We had a less than 75 and was about 25 miles from the pick up. The load was for a Monday and the dispatch was on...

Good morning to you too you old "pot stirring" person you!! :p It is a very humid heat here. Rain, thunder etc. Does it surprise you that we are in bed with communist nations? I mean, really, Barry is their blood brother!! :eek: He believes in their style of total control government. Bet he...

Iraqi forces? Yeah right. Kurds? Not nearly enough. Iran has AT LEAST 500,000 combat troops. Suicidal? Could be. Unstable without a doubt. It is a nation headed for a train wreck. It is in bed with a nation (Russia) that is trying to return to it's nasty days, you remember, 25 million murdered.

I think that you are wrong in your assesment. Iran has major internal problems as Greg stated earlier. They will be forced into either murdering untold numbers of their own to control it, OR, extend outward. 50,000 lightly armed troops and a carrier can do little to stop Iran IF they chose to...

I hope that person was some kind of a "plant" to give Michael something to do. I REALLY hope that. I don't want to believe that there are people out there that are really that stupid. Unfortunately I know that there are.

No one is running around just making "war plans" willy nilly. Recognizing the problems and being prepared in case something happens is prudent. Doing nothing has never worked in the past and will most likely not work in the future. You don't REALLY believe that 50,000 troops in Iraq is enough...

I have no idea what happened. I talked with FDCC about it but without the run number there was nothing they could do. Too bad. I had no reason to right down that load number but I wish I had just to have it looked at.

I used to have one of those too.

I don't know, are we calling Russia an enemy again yet? Are we calling China an enemy again yet? Not that I have heard. What about their ignoring the gas chambers of Nazi Germany? Forget that part?

To my way of thinking, ANY country that denies the well documented deaths of 12 million plus people should be looked at as a potential enemy. They remind me of Nazi Germany in their early days. Ignore history and.......................... In reality, they said we are their enemy and so is...

Russia is assisting Iran but they are NOT able to control the Islamic terrorists. Russia has had it's "butt bit" by them already. They will likely regret the day they got "in bed" with them.
