Greg, Congrats on a succesful start! Hang in there, and stick to your plan. As you get used to the company, and they to you, it will get easier, til it's 'old hat'...[img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_1_208.gif"] Just rememember this bit of advice... always carry a spare...

Congrats on making it your first 2 years, and not becoming a statistic. Dreamer

Yeah, gotta watch the resale on the Class 8's... around here, that set up would be great resale for a dump truck chassis. Dreamer

RE: C's RULE !!!!!!!!!! At FedEx I was told that a run is offered first to the size unit it SHOULD be on, no matter who got there first. In otherwords, if it's a B load, it is offered to every B first, then C's, then D's, and lastly E's, etc. Therefore, using that logic, if most of a...

Thanks for clearing that up Dave! I thought they all dumped into the SAME tank, I didn't realize you could have a separate tank for toilet and shower/sink! I was thinkin, like there's not ENOUGH #$*% to walk thru in the parking lot..LOL... My apologies for the mistake Steve and Chrissy! Whew...

You will have to go to a testing station and take the pre-trip/road test in a air-braked vehicle. I went thru this several years ago.. my first driving experience was in a non-air braked vehicle, so I had that restriction also. Had to retest like I was a newbie. Contact whoever does the...

DEFINATELY NOT!!!! Not only is that nasty, it's illegal, and it totally blows my mind that you would have several RV dealers so anti-trucker as to tell you that. Dreamer

Sounds pretty cool LDB, I've only seen pics of one done like that, so you should have a pretty unique ride! Good luck with it! Dreamer

Not a prob, that's what I'm here for! Dreamer

This is a good time to bring that up. If anyone does not want anyone emailing them at their private email, you can change that setting in your User Menu. Open your User Menu (at the top of the page)and click on Preferences. There it will give you the option as to whether other members can...

To tell you the truth, that's the first time I've ever seen that complaint! Is it really that much trouble to slide that lil bar down the side, or roll that wheel on the mouse? Personally, I like them this way, so I can read the responses in order... Dreamer

RE: Freightliner finally doing a factory expediter >what you are seeing there are just advertisements, none of >the trucks in the pics. are factory just for show to inform >of all the ways the m-2 can be configured ....... I know that, but before now, I've never seen a straight truck with a...

After years of basically ignoring expediters on the factory site, Freightliner actually has an expediter spec M2 in their photo gallery, with what looks like a Bentz sleeper. Makes me wonder if they would actually build a more longhaul spec'd M2, instead of ones mostly designed for local...

I think I know what you mean oldprof, I dont' know what the technical name for it is, but I've alway heard it called "Road Hypnosis"... basically, if you just sit and stare at the road, the lines and reflectors going by in the same rythm will 'hypnotise' you and put you to sleep. One of the...

>Yeah sure, "accidentally" deleted my fantasy 1989 COE >$150,000 truck. ;-) I'll bet you're bidding on it right >now. > >As for the inappropriate post, I wonder what there is >inappropriate to say about a 1989 $150,000 COE truck except >it's too much money for an old truck. > Thanks...

Sorry guys, I went to edit the "Imagine the possibilities" thread (about the 40 ft cabover on ebay) of an inappropriate reply, and I hit the 'remove' instead of 'edit' function.. Dreamer [img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_18_5.gif"]

And don't forget that guy that "Ain't got no panties on"... [img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_3.gif"]

Thanks for the input and reminder Raceman. I hope everyone will take a deep breath and step back for a sec before responding in such situations. Dreamer

I'm sorry folks, I believe this thread has gone far enough, and has once again degenerated, and instead of removing every personal comment which is spread among the good advice, it will now be locked. Any further responses to Big Dog's original question, could be perhaps sent to him in a...

Sawbones, I know you asked about "Minimum", but may I suggest you get everything you can. It doesn't cost extra to take the extra tests, at least in Ohio, but if you leave one off.. (as I did) and then go back because you need it at another job, you have to do everything again. Having the...
