Well, the old Hino and me will be available tomorrow morning, going back on the road for a little while anyway, the company that I have been working for is going into the normal slow period, and I will go and make some money on the road. My wife has been out in the Sprinter for a couple of...

Ok, next question, before I replaced my alternator, the problem I was working on that caused me to find the alternator was bad was that my AC would not work, the first time I noticed it, I climbed underneath and saw that the compressor was turning a little bit, and the belt was not slpping, just...

Ever been to that farmers market in Syracuse? There are a few places down there you can park the truck, the last time I was there, the wife had to buy a cooler and some ice so that we could get all she bought home.....

Turbo linkage is frozen same thing happened to mine after sitting for a month spray it down with some lubricant and have someone start it while you are pushing down slightly on the linkage and it will free itself up. I hate to say this but you were taken on the turbo replacement, check to see...

Thanks for the advice on the ground straps will clean them up. Seems like that is a very common alternator, given all of the trucks that is listed on this ebay auction: New Alternator Freightliner M2 Hino 145NA 165NB 185NC 238nd 258nd 268NE 268ANJ | eBay For $90 I think I will give it a try...

Well, I have not driven my truck in the last month or so, its sitting in the parking lot of where I work now, we used it to move the business. So the other day I got in there to start it for a few, and turned the AC on because I was hot, and the AC didn't engage, the compressor was just barely...

Well now it looks like Sprint and Tmobile is now going to merge, wonder if the government is going to allow it. Sprint, T-Mobile Move Closer to a $32 Billion Merger - WSJ

Re: Are Any Expedited Carriers Concerned with keeping on Own/Op with current low rate At 1.25 a mile plus FSC, even if I have to DH home from most loads I will make good money, but then again, I do all my maintenance and repairs myself.

That's corporate America, wait to pay your bills until you absolutely have to, and they expect us to pay our bills on time?????

The way I read it, any time you are sitting waiting for a load, you should be "on duty" now as we all know, we don't log it that way, but the way I read the rules that is the way it is supposed to be. As for a phone call interrupting a rest period, that makes sense, how would they prove it was...

Made the switch from Verizon to Tmobile, and as far as coverage goes, its like walking off of a cliff, my bill is half of what it was with Verizon, but I wish I would have never switched. Where I live here in Florida its not too bad, but on a recent trip back to Ohio, once I got past...

I have always wondered, will a basic OBD scanner reset the 'countdown" messages? One day I will work on a DEF system, my Sprinter and my straight truck are both 2005s but at some point I will upgrade to a newer one, will have to learn how to fix it. To me it seems pretty simple, there is a DEF...

So I have to ask a question for you guys, do you know anyone who has sleep apnea real bad? I know 2 people who had it and have had their lives completely changed by getting a CPAP machine. The one I had to room with at the national sales meeting for the company I used to work for, I would not...

Yes, very good point, privately owned businesses are more likely to think long term. I used to work for Riddell, spent 20 total years of my life in that place, when we were bought by a private equity firm, the corporate morons came in and changed everything. It got to the point where I could...

I only paid $5000 for my straight truck, are you saying there is something wrong with that.....:rolleyes:

In the corporate world, there is no such thing as long term thinking, its all about the current quarter, and what can I do to make sure I get MY bonus. There are plenty of examples out there (not just trucking) where a CEO will do massive damage to a companies reputation just so they can collect...

I will second that comment, I own my straight truck and sprinter, do all my mechanical work myself and still had a hard time paying the bills. Found a job an hour from my place in Florida doing building maintenance, would love to go back on the road, but need to find a carrier that can keep me...

Drove past the hard rock casino in Tampa on my way home from work, saw a Load one straight truck, wondering if that is anyone on here????

I picked a good winter to move to Florida hopefully I never have to deal with that again.... Sent from my LG-D500 using EO Forums mobile app
