    Wow. That is long. Let's see a picture.

    Autoshift annoyance

    Sometimes this occurs on the initial shift out of neutral, not necessarily the changing of forward to reverse. In any event, the adjusting of the clutch pedal to acitvate a bit sooner would probably do it.

    Slot goes with the truck!

    Hehehe.....I've seen that a couple times lately as well. They keep the truck leased on with WG to try and bring more money.

    Autoshift annoyance

    I had thought about having the clutch adjusted to engage a bit higher. I had wondered if it was mechanical, or just some little sensor thing. No, I haven't had the truck greased.

    Autoshift annoyance

    Of course. It just doesn't seem normal that suddenly my foot must be bruised black and blue in order to put her into gear, when starting or shifting out of drive doesn't.

    Autoshift annoyance

    Someone else mentioned that to me, but I don't know where that adjustment would be. Clutch works fine for taking it out of drive or reverse.

    Autoshift annoyance

    Do any of you autoshifters have issues with the computer not putting the truck in gear unless the clutch is completely slammed tight into the floor board? Just bought an FLD with a 10 speed auto and occasionally it won't go into drive or reverse from neutral. If I put it back in neutral and...

    Medications / Rules

    As far as driving with this medication, I would talk to your physician. Better yet, talk to the DOT physician who did your physical last.

    Another Freightliner horror story

    I really appreciate this forum. It helps me make a list of places NOT to take my truck in a time of need.

    Buck eighty five wasn't bad for a brokered load when fuel was 3 dollars. You do the math beyond that. Load boards? Getloaded and Internet Truckstop are probably the most affordable for the average small carrier looking for LTL loads. You just have to hunt down everything and make calls...

    Insurance

    100k for cargo is quite ample, unless you occasionally need spot coverage increase. Just find a good agent who writes truck insurance and let them shop the companies. I've used Associated Truck Insurance Services (ATIS). Their parent company is Rush Enterprises. 877-244-8326 Ask for a guy...

    Pickup expediter

    So is the freight put in the bed, or it it got a fifth wheel so it can pull a gooseneck? I've seen lots of the latter lately.

    Omen?

    Colonel, Hope you'll keep in touch here. Some of us "young ens" could still benefit from your wisdom.

    Help!!!

    Have you checked with anyone besides Panther? Smaller carriers typically have less rules about solos than the big carriers. Check with Bolt and C&M. I've heard good things about both with solos. Since you're in the south, also check with DTH Expediters in Atlanta. They may have an owner.

    Bad fuel?

    Possibly a bit of water, or at least moisture? Never had a problem on a diesel, but on a gasser I had a big problem one time. If you stopped for a few minutes, whatever moisture that was in the line just before your filter would dry up from the heat. Then it would run fine.

    Instead of QC tracking locations.....

    Greg, Why would you ask that here? Most folks are glad to rid themselves of big brother when they become a carrier and you're trying to add it? It sounds like a cool service to have, but really unnecessary unless you have a large fleet. Have the O/Os check in every few hours and update their...
