    Favorite Truck stop brand

    Actually they should credit you a free 1/2 shower after a minimum purchase of 20 gallons .... sometimes tho' that will fail - so it's a good idea to try and purchase at least 21 gallons. Some folks carry an extra 5 gallon fuel can or two (I know one guy that carries four) so that you don't ever...

    Sprinter EGR valve, again!

    As I understand it, unless it's the Mobil 1 5w40 ESP low-ash oil, you are using the incorrect oil for the vehicle - may cause problems with the DPF (diesel particulate filter) .... dunno if it could cause troubles with the EGR .... I own an older Sprinter ('06 T1N) and I'm really not up on the...

    Texas Frieght Massacre

    Kind of a covert way of saying something by saying nothing - and then trying to justify it as good behavior. In any event, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. Since you have seen fit to post the above, I've got a couple of questions: 1. Have they failed to settle with you - on...

    Sprinters...NewsFlash

    O' ye of little faith .... weep ye not for the oppressed and downtrodden Chrysler LLC dealer network, for, in their infinite weisheit, the fine MB engineers in the Vaterland have seen fit to equip the Sprinter (T1N's at any rate) with both low-pressure and high-pressure fuel pumps, thereby...

    Sprinter Bypass Filter Installation

    Hey Guid .... Wish I could help ya here ..... as you clearly have lots of "issues" .... but I'm afraid I don't have any answers for the questions you are asking ....... here's a thought: You just might want to consider actually starting a thread .... maybe even more than one say .... about...

    What Does Your Carrier OWE You?

    While I respect your viewpoint and understand why you might have it, I see things from a bit different perspective - don't consider that either is absolutely "right" or "wrong" .... they just are ... Perhaps some of the difference comes from being leased to two carriers which are dramatically...

    Does your company have enough trucks?

    Yup. Sounds like a reasonable roll of the dice to me. :D When I checked earlier today I was the only one up here .... so I'm hanging around until at least tomorrow afternoon ....

    Does your company have enough trucks?

    That would be somewhat puzzling ..... wouldn't it ? You would think they would be on it like a dog on a bone ...... on the otherhand .... Here's the only thing that I can come up with ..... it's just a cost vs. benefit thing. To reposition a fleet there is obviously an inherent cost - if you...

    Does your company have enough trucks?

    Twizted, I see where you're coming from .... and I get it, but really I'd think that they would need to look at that ... PLUS: What are the potential number of additional loads that there is a reasonable expectation that could be gotten or booked ? Reason being, if you only go by what you are...

    Does your company have enough trucks?

    .... really ? I might know a few ...... 52 (weeks in a year) x 2 (days per week) = 104 days 104 (days) ÷ 7 (days in a week) = 14.86 (weeks off per year) That's just for someone that works a normal 5 day per week job - and it doesn't include holidays or vacation time. Even someone...
