Come on, guys. It's not a big deal. The filter screws into the side of the engine. Directly under that is a shield. Between the two there is just enough room to stick your fingers. Without paper towels stuffed between the filter and shield, oil drains out of the filter, onto the shield, over the...

Diane and I met truckergirl and zman3K yesterday. We were parked at a Steak and Shake. They saw the truck and approached us to introduce themselves. We ate dinner together. These two are off to a promising start in the business. It was fun getting to know them.

Engine cold or warm, it makes no difference on this generator. The filter retains oil, even if the generator sits unused for days. If there was room for a container, funnel, or even a cut away bottle fashioned for the space to catch oil (I have tried everything I can think of), I would use it...

Leo mentioned the Onan Quiet Diesel generator. We have one and are very pleased with it. Service and some parts are available at Camping World and other RV stores. Oil filters are at Wal-Mart. NAPA also sells the filters. The Onan dealer chain is where we would go for service if we needed it...

Jan and Feb were above goal. March was slightly below. The three months totaled provide an above-goal first quarter. Based on our first quarter results, we expect an above-goal year. April is off to a strong start.

We keep receipts and bank and credit card statements that show every penny we spend for business and personal reasons. Not everything, but nearly everything we buy is bought with a credit or debit card so in addition to the receipt those statements show the transactions as well. Coin laundry and...

When we first put our truck on the road, the steer axle weight came in around 11,600 lbs (actual on the ground). As we added a tool box and filled it, and then moved more stuff into the sleeper the weight grew to around 11,800 lbs. That is with all fuel and water tanks full, both codrivers...

When it comes to using new technology or a new system based on technology, it is best to not be among the first to walk through the minefield. Let the early adopters be the ones to work out the bugs.

With FedEx Custom Critical, you won't be turned down because you cannot scale a 13,000 lbs. payload but you would be considered a CR unit instead of DR. CR units must be able to scale up to 5,000 lbs. and have a 14-foot or larger box. Click below for the FedEx vehicle qualification page...

Under load, driving from California to a Monday delivery in the midwest.

The moving date has been set. We will begin work at the Rice's home in Edgewater, Florida Friday morning, April 13. At present we have two team-driven straight trucks and one solo-driven B-unit lined up. While that is enough to get the job done, a second B-unit and a couple more people would...

Put in tinyurl. LDB Moving day is now set for sometime between April 12 and 15 and things are coming together well. The "Denver" truck is Caroll and Dora Bean. That name may ring a bell to some here on EO. Jeff Jensen did a story about a letter the Beans wrote when the HOS rules changed...

Thank you for the offer, Dave. I think we'll be fine. On the Rice's end, the move date range has changed to sometime on or after April 11. For volunteer planning purposes, we're now talking about sometime between the 11th and 15th. The move should be relatively easy. The two houses are just a...

Put in tinyurl. LDB As the Rice thread was getting long, Lawrence asked me to post this in a new thread that he will lock. The longer thread can be read at: http://tinyurl.com/2bvef3 Cherri said: > I hope that Glen & Janice know that they can count on a >lot of EO members, if there's...

I have lost count of the number of truck stop fender benders I have seen happen before my eyes or seen shortly after they occured. Almost always, one driver is perfectly parked and minding his or her business. Then another driver comes in and WHAM! your whole month changes. The moral of the...

I think Leo raises an excellent point. I believe drivers that put too much emphasis or expectations on team vs. solo loads can hurt themselves by turning down loads that might otherwise be good to take. As Diane and I see it, a load is a load, whether it is a 30 mile run or 3,000. When an...

Regarding White Glove eligibility, straight answers do come from the office. And if you ask the same question a few months later, straight answers will come again, but they will likely be different. That is not because FedEx is lying about the standards. It is because the standards themselves...
