I'm going to address one thing I mentioned in a previous post on this thread, lest I create the wrong impression - as well as comment further on the quoted remarks below. I mentioned that the person doing empty moves being happy about saving the company money by getting people to move on...

Yeah, we should have caught it chef ..... her unit number was in her original posting ..... that would have told us that she's been there awhile.

Chris, Let me apologize to you for at least myself - I didn't read your post closely enough and assumed that you were new with Bolt - had I paid a little more attention, my answer would have been more appropriate to your original question. I think freight generally is slow all over, but...

Well, I can't speak to Panther - never drove with 'em - but I've managed this past week to find a few corners here and there where Bolt didn't seem to have any other units (and judging from some of the carrier names on the BOL's for the freight I picked up, some other companies apparently didn't...

Hard ta 'magine ain't it col ?

Hmmm ... "whopping" eh ? .... well ... I dunno there Sudsy .... what's the fuel cost per mile these days on say a cargo van ? On a Sprinter ? On the EM's, I'll take them some times, other times not .... depends ...... Of course, when you are talking to whoever is doing the empty moves, a...

OVM, Oh thanks alot - I'm gonna take your advice .... but now I gotta go home and plow the driveway .... :D .... I finally managed to get cleared to cross ... and even though I was scheduled to deliver at 06:00 Sat (with an approved layover) I went over to the cons and found that there were...

Once I drop my current load I'll be at 1943 loaded for the week .... I just lost a 100+ mile load I was gonna do after this one because I've been stuck at the border for almost 3 hours, waiting for clearance ...... Looks like I may have to deliver this one tomorrow, as the customer wants to...

Just ran across this in the new posts from another site: "The head gasket can leak on a 312 if the correct coolant has not been used, the way to find the leak is to borrow a radiator pressure tester and pump the radiator up to about 20 psi then get under the vehicle and watch the edge of the...

For the ATF, this just seemed a little more appropriate :eek:

On the paint I used Duplicolor Ceramic Engine Enamel from Autozone, which is rated to 500°F. Color-wise, for engine oil in a diesel, this just seemed "right" :D

Got a little heavy with the primer ....... :rolleyes:

Like I said, I wasn't too keen on the paint job Ralph supplied on the filters. A little aircraft stripper and some Scotch-Brite pads took the offending paint off. These could actually look pretty trick if someone were to polish 'em up :eek: .... heheheh ..... yeah, sure they could ...

For those unfamiliar with reading an oil analysis there is an explanation of the various elements and physical properties that are being tested for here: Understanding The Elements And an explanation of the report format here: Understanding You Gas/Diesel Oil Report A TBN (total base...

OVM, Well ..... you can do what you want ..... but I'd trust the engineers at Benz before I'd trust a wrench (no offense to any wrenches that may read this) .... but that's just me ..... just curious - was this guy the one that originally suggested that you use Prestone ? If ya really wanna...

Great stuff col !

Hey Jack - FYI, last time I was there they got me one out of Henderson going down to AL - so freight does come out of there.

Welcome to Bolt Express. Consider that we are just coming out of the holidays, it is January (traditionally a slower time of year), and the economic situation ain't the greatest right now. Also consider that Load Planning has loads to cover, and customers to satisfy (Bolt is YOUR customer...

I got one while at home on Monday morning - Twinsburg, OH to Three Rivers, MI and then one this morning - Lansing to North Chicago - delivers 7AM tomorrow.

In order to hook up an external filter one has to have a source of pressurized oil from the engine itself, or lacking that maybe a tap into the oil pan and an external pump. Typically, alot of bypass filter installations steal a pressurized feed from the oil pressure sender, by installing a tee...
