Thanks Dreamer,i should have pmed you or many of the other Fedx people on this site.I was gonna start the ups/fedx/or insert a name is buying panther with them going public and all and really waste very ones time.That's a joke of course,however back about 3-4 yrs ago there was quite a buzz.My...

I have a good friend of mine who drivers a Fed van and got a letter saying something about fixed rates for strts and tt as a option.I called Fedx,i am considering making a switch over there with one of my teams and this was confirmed but was light on details,like what the flat rate who be.My...

Yes,i don't want to write a book about it so i'll stick to the basics.Had one of my teams take it in with a fuel leak nobody could see.I go there number off NTTS,they were about 5 miles from the place.This was on a Fri,there not open on weekends so i told them i would like them to tell me what...

North Bay TRK Center Farfield C.A 707 427 1386.

My gas engines i use Moble1 full syntherthic,the main reason is i get almost a extra mile per gallon.

If you like it? how long you've had it? and do they make a 3cyl.

I had one done about 290,000 and they found a trace of coolant in the oil so they checked the crank for pitting.They had to drop the oil pan for this but i did get a good pic of what was going on.I've got 315,000 on it and it's fine so far,my egr valve went out about 150,000 and they checked the...

I have found for myself and fellow long term expeditors,the hobbies on the road are very helpful to myself and my drivers.I am glad Leo brought it up cause it think it goes to the lifestyle people talk about.I do have alot of places i look forward eating at on the road,however i don't consider...

I always went to Millie's down the street for food,but it was a nice place to chat with fellow expeditors.I recall the first and second EO trade show or whatever it's called was held there and the K town freightliner guy,can't remember his name think he i think he's related to Lawrance drove the...

I wasn't comparing the Hino with a Cascadia,i have a M2 and i thought that was what we were comparing? I happen to have both so i thought i would relate my experiences and a little of my reasoning as to why i bought entry level or city trks for hwy use.I don't expect more then 500,000 out of...

I have one of each,the Hino has around 250,000.The Freightliner is about the same,with the MBE.The Hino's had it's major trouble around 60,000 miles with a blown turbo,7 days in the shop most of it waiting on parts.I've had other stuff go out the warrany covered most of it.The trk has a Allison...

I reoil mine about once a year,when i had my last gasser and ran paper i was changing them about every 3 months or 20,000 miles as Moot said.I don't have the whole KN set up i just have the filter and like i said maybe a half a mile to the gallon diff.I have an ext top and doors so on a windy...

I have trks on with large and small,when i started with Panther they were small.The saftey building was half a large garage unit on state road in Medina O.H were they had orientation,they put the qc on at some guys barn on Hwy 18 west of town and dispatch was in the square.I've always used my...

I miss read the question,what Chief said to answer your question.

Gonna need more info,who makes the sleepers,the boxes,rear end gear,auto or stick,and what engine do ya got.Is this a new purchase? if used any warranty? If you go with a MBE engine which one of my trk has be prepared for a erg valve and cooler around 250,000 or so.

I have one in my ford gasser.I would say about a half a mile to the gallon,the real savings is not having to buy a air filter every 3 months or so.I've had the K&N almost 5 yrs and haven't bought a filter.I don't even know how much they are,gonna guess is around 20$ so if i recall the K&N was 80...

I got better mpg with the 7.3 along with all around cost of ownership,i'd like to hear from any expeditors the changed there exhaust from the turbo back,and deleted the egr valve.

Soup Nazi,No soup for you!

The contracts we sign really puts us in no postion to apply any compoundw or whatever wart remover's out there.I heard a Fedx van driver [Roberts] had a case about the old refuse 2 loads and your outta service,even if it were true they can dispatch to any truck they want and still be in step...
