I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that learned this the hard way. Makes me feel better!! LOL!! I was able to get the drivers side in. I put the bulb in first then connected the wires. I was able to put the bulb into the passenger side but there is no way to connect the wires. The...

I had bought a full set of 9006's low and high beams but like a dummy I did not check them to see if they fit until I needed them. I thought I had planned ahead. Who knew there were to different shapped 9006 series bulbs. Guess I should have. Layoutshooter

That is exactly what the CPA has down for us. It just seems goofy to me. I guess it's my slow nature with numbers. I hate them!!! LOL. I guess I don't have to understand it if it keeps the IRS happy. All the numbers work so I guess we will keep it up. Thanks a million. Layoutshooter

They are 9006 series. That is what I typed but the computer put 4006 to make me look stupid. Not that I need any help. I guess I will look at a FL dealer, I was just hoping to get them at Wally World prices. Layoutshooter

I have a 2006 M2 business class. The book calls for 4006 series headlight bulbs. I took an old one out and it had 4006 on it. I bought a set of 4006 lights that said they fit all 4006 aplications, they do not fit. My old ones are straight at the conector and the new ones have a 90 degree angle...

You got it right now. Use your tools for what they are. Good luck and hang in there. Layoutshooter

You can look in your Contractor Helper book if you have one on the truck. There is a section in there that sort of explains how trucks are dispatched. We are a White Glove team and have been dispatched around more than once. Sometimes a single dirver is dispatched to save the team truck for...

We ran a load for Hickory Farms just before Christmas. It was a nightmare, boxes everywhere do to bad loading at a place we could not watch and the load was sealed before I could check. We did a hand unload of the truck and then reloaded the second stop by hand as well. We were presented with a...

It is not as simple as it may seem. FedEx uses a complicated system for dispatch. Time at an express center is only one factor. Team vs single, D vs C etc. It does pay to check, you will get the hang of it before long. Send me a private msg and we can go into it more in depth. Layoutshooter

I sure hope it ends soon. I don't want to make my next truck payment, house payment and I REALLY don't want to see the upcoming election!!!! LOL Layoutshooter

I Don't think I would use MapQuest for trucks if they had it. I find that MapQuest has more mistakes in it than most anything else I have tried. We have Delorme in the truck. It seems to have fewer mistakes than Streets and Trips and has more of the features that we are looking for. I bought an...

How does a O/O (one truck) account for the income/taxes on that business? Do you pay yourself a 1099 and the business pay it's own taxes or do you just pay it all yourself? Should a single truck be totaly split off from the household taxes? My CPA says that a total split is not needed for a...

I am having the SAME problems with my PROHEAT. I will look into the better belts. I have broke two in 8 months. It does not cool well when it is really hot. The heater works great. The evaporator/condenser etc just had to be replaced. Lucky on that one. There was still 1 1/2 months left on the...

I used to sell GPS units, mainly for marine use. Many could handle *chips* that had navigation charts on them. I sold what was at that time a top of the line unit to a guy with a 45ft boat. He had it installed professionllly. All was right and good with the world, or so I thougt. I had told him...

I make sure that I run treated fuel through the APU and Reefer units from time to time. I always use winter blend treatment from mid-Sept thru mid-May. Sometimes longer if needed. Running that treated fuel through the other engines keeps the lines and filters from gelling up. I have not yet had...

My wife and I got our own licences and signed on with an owner. We were lucky to find an honest one who helped us learn this business and put up with our rookie mistakes. We remain friends with them even though we now own our own truck. We still get advice from them and even pass on things that...

The presidents job IS forgien policy and Comander in Chief, NOT, internal affairs. That is mainly the job of the Congress. And as for the INTELL CRAP, you sorry so and so, you would most likely be dead, goose stepping, using chop sticks or be locked up in a Goolog if it were not for us...

My wife told me she asked that same question from FedEx Safety when we where there last. They told her that The sleeper and off duty time count towards your 34 hours reset. Layoutshooter

I can't wait to hear more on this one. We almost always stay in the sleeper. It cuts down alot on the motel bills. I have never heard that it was not allowed.

The president in onlyh part of it. The congress funds the military and intell services. They have NOT been honest with the American people for the last 30 years that I know of. They have been under funding for at least that long. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY!!!! They do not take your best interest...
