I'll stay down here and watch from where it is warm.:D

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Yeah....too bad isn't it. Glad you can make that assessment after a few days of being here. I'll tell you up front with a accurate personal assessment rather than pat you on the head and give you a bunch...

Had a truck drop in Charlotte and picked up behind it in Lincolnton, NC. Driver said it was turning into a skating rink with cars crashing everywhere. We changed gears and headed to Atlanta and up 75 through Chat. Going west so it looked like the best option. The extra 100 miles can be quickly...

A good starting point would be to PM (private message) member Nightcreacher (aka Steve) who drives a "E" for the Fed. I believe he could fill you in as he has done different trailers and ran both solo & teams.

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Wow......after 73 posts we finally arrive back at Dominoes or the taxi gig. Umm....how did some already know that? As for Panther, can't say our experience is anything similar except for the 15 day deal on...

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a Based on his "requirements" he would sink as a independent. Too many "I don't wannas" and the reoccurring costs with insurance and everything else would burn up any profit he could make. I would still go the...

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a I was actually serious in my response. Nothing personal, just calling it like I see it, although I guess I could have suggested Papa Johns.

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a After reading all this I think I would recommend a summer time gig delivering pizzas at Dominoes. I believe it will cover all your requirements.

Certainly doesn't look good.

Re: 1st post: any companies give you complete choice over when, where, if you take a At the end of the day, they are agents. Or............self employed dispatchers. Take your pick. If your not reliable, then they will load who is or their own trucks BEFORE you. May be ok with that IF that...

If a manager is charging that under the conditions I mentioned above, I got a great potential investment in a sailboat in Vegas they need to consider. Better off finding someone pooping diamonds. I would park and sell the trucks with that plan.

Don't know the owner, but $1,000 per truck is too high UNLESS, they are providing the ACTUAL freight that is hauled. The owner is struggling because if that truck doesn't gross 10k per month, he is a sinking ship. A lot of trucks at generic carriers aren't pulling that consistently. Look how...

When a first out arrives, they go to the top of the board. If they are floating a charity/non-profit load around that no one wants, that truck will disappear from the count when it is sent to the truck. When that truck turns it down, it will reappear in the available truck count. It is possible...

This really does look like complicating the simple. A lot of the items are just when you first hire someone and shouldn't be a on going thing. New drivers should be able to get to a hotel room and orientation without much assistance. Basic truck maintenance (like changing a light bulb) should be...

That is where I would start. Pull and change the fuel filters. If the problem is still there, on that engine I would check the air charger for leaks or cracks. After that it would have to go to a lap top to see what the engine is doing. If that checks out then you are down to testing the turbo...

I would agree. Those are fuel/injector codes. Probably a injector or the ecm line that runs to them.

Miss his works here as well. Truly a gifted writer that has given so much to the expediting industry. Really enjoy the many conversations we had on so many topics.

Not sure of what engine we are talking about but IF you have cardboard in front of the radiator with the idle bumped up and no rise on the temp, then it is the temp sensor (should throw a code) and if not, replace the thermostat. That is assuming of course there is pressure in the system. If...

Probably not going to like my answer. Since you said you had the injectors replaced, it is likely they didn't put the seals in properly. Result: fuel starts dumping into the oil and when pressure comes up, it dumps it out the blow by tube. Even more so if it is a fair amount of oil. A small...

I am sure that is one of the reasons they are so scared of her.
