We have our CDL. birth certificates, FAST cards, CCW AND monogramed toliet paper for ID. As for the FAST cards, we have not run even ONE FAST load since we started in the business 3 years ago. I would be hard pressed to renew.$50 or maybe more now, all those hoops to jump through etc. I will...

I will try that when I get home next time. Layoutshooter

I am getting moisture behind the headlight cover on the driver's side. I have a 2006 Freightliner. The lense is not clouding up. There is water in it. How does it get there? How do I get it out and keep it out? Layoutshooter

I drive for FedEx and do a lot of work in AZ. I have had many loads out of Tuscon, more than any other AZ location. Most were long, good paid loads too. Many loads into AZ from other places. Layoutshooter

The best way to get better mileage, even better than slowing down, is to get a pump that reads wrong. I filled up at a Pilot in TN the other day and when I checked my mileage it kept coming out at 18.71!!!!! NOT BAD!!!! I told the manger that his pumps where reading wrong, like 1/2 the amont of...

Right on Leo, also look at Ruger revolvers and Kimbers. Kimber is a bit on the expensive side but they make a couple of nice .45 carry pieces. I carry a Ruger SP101 when I do carry. It is a 5 shot revolver in .357. Small, short barrel but a bit on the heavy side. It will do the job if needed...

We run a 450 MBE with a Eaton/Fuller 10sp auto-shift. The worst we have ever got was 7.5mpg. We were loaded VERY heavy with strong head winds. The best was 11.7!!! Running VERY light and at 57 mph. So it seems we should run empty and slow!!! Layoutshooter

Scott's Truck Repair in Toledo is good on them too. That is where I get all my work done when I am home. Layoutshooter

We stopped running it as soon as we heard the noise. We have all our work done at shops, I have NO mechcanical talent. I sure hope we did not blow up anything. Ours went out of warrenty in Jan. I would have NEVER bought this unit if I had to put one on. I bought a used truck and it was on it. It...

Well, at least we set a record with our PROHEAT. It worked fine for five whole weeks!!!! WOW!! Now it has developed a loud rattling noise. It sounds like bearings of some sort. Water pump or generator. What a piece of junk!!!! It is even too heavy to use as a boat anchor!!!! Considering that...

I agree, run for an owner for AT LEAST 6 months. We ran with one for 2 years before we bought our own truck. The lift gate is a must. Pays for itself fast. The reefer is a toss up. I am not sure if I would spec a reefer truck. Ours is but we bought it used and it came that way. I would also...

I have seen the Onan's encased in diamond plate or plain aluminum boxes. There are vents all around to cool them. ICT is putting out thier own APU. I have not seen it. Any idea who made the sleeper? Layoutshooter

Good luck on that one. The owner that I drove for had his in the 3 times in the two years I was with him, for that same problem. It NEVER did work right. Layoutshooter

I have seen some Onan's covered that way. Was it on an expediter? Freightliner of Gorgia does the Onan like that. Layoutshooter

We NEVER leave the dock without all the correct paperwork. Shippers certification etc. We NEVER leave without the proper placards. It is not worth it. We have left a load sitting because they didnot have the right papers. It was a nice load and we could have used the money but after several...

I drive for FedEx and by in large the all mile rate is higher on hazmat than non-hazmat loads. There are hassles from time to time but I take them more often than not. They have been keeping me rolling the last couple of weeks. Layoutshooter

I found some low beam bulbs at a TA. $16.49 each. I bought them because I need them but what a rip off. I will have to research this and find a better price. Layoutshooter

Thanks Arkjarhead, I think that is what I was trying to ask. Math sucks!!! I would be rich if it were not for numbers. They have always held me back. LOL Layoutshooter
