    check engine

    You can bybass the sensor and if all is well, replace the sensor. If you bypass the sensor and the light stays lit, problem is somewhere else.

    How To Get Meds

    Find another physician? Some will only carry a prescription for a certain period of time because of liability issues. I would be surprised if a doctor would carry a prescription for longer than a years time on anything without seeing you at least once in that yearly period.

    I've Got The Itch Again

    Might be right. A ride through Jan and Feb with some carriers followed by a breakdown, and you have a expediter casualty.

    ok all HINO owner & operators

    Don't see that working in most cases, as the passenger has to jump out and help push it up a hill. :D

    What Are the differences in financing?

    Truck financing is certainly tougher for someone new than it was several years ago for the same circumstances. Business plans are worthless unless your going to the local bank and they know little about trucking. Chances are in today's economy they will require outstanding credit, 30 percent...

    I've Got The Itch Again

    With 30k or less for a truck and 5k in reserves, you are undercapitalized. If it is just the gamble your after, buy a powerball ticket.

    question

    Too many questions on the premise you only drove for two weeks. What does your contract say? (Assuming you had one). What do you still owe the owner of the truck? Many contracts have provisions in them on notification,truck return location, drug tests and physical tests etc. You may or may...

    The New Droid Phone

    Probably worth mentioning. On the Iphone you can't tether unless you use a app. There is software already for it, but not on US phones. Suppose to be coming soon.

    check engine

    Hard to say for certain without seeing what the code actually is via a laptop. My first suspicion would be a coolant sensor at the reservoir. Could be a loose wire somewhere else, but that would be my starting point without any other information.

    The New Droid Phone

    Good point. I like the Iphone because I can look at a load via the web and have a driver on the phone at the same time. It would be a pain without that function.

    High pitch whine

    Hard to tell. Could be a bad pulley or tensioner on the belts? If you are convinced that it is the turbo, I would have it pressure tested. You could have a leak on the air charger causing a drop in pressure to the turbo.

    And then they wonder when they graduate why no one will hire them.

    I think she was studying for it but never made it as she went to political science.

    EO a year ago

    I would agree with Linder and others. The business over the last year or so has really changed. Many have left with the downturn of the economy. Some of the new posts are people fishy for what the industry is as they have become disenchanted with their current position whether through layoffs or...

    Interesting observation

    I guess one could add or subtract a few names either way and arrive at the same place.

    The New Droid Phone

    Nice review. After reading your thoughts, I am going with "simple is as simple does" Going to hang on to my Iphone. I got the newest version about three months ago, and seems to work pretty well.
