Pallet Jack Drifting

From the manual: Code 33: High Engine Coolant Temperature Fault (Engine coolant temperature exceeded design limit). Corrective Action: 1. Check the engine coolant level and add coolant and repair leaks as necessary. 2. Check for and remove any objects blocking the air inlet or outlet openings...

In addition to checking codes, try loading up the generator by turning on all devices except the overhead AC: stove burner, microwave, lights, fridge (turn the temp dial to make it run), coffee pot, toilet seat warmer, water pump, water heater, ceiling fan, etc. If the generator continues to...

When the generator shuts down, does it give you any kind of trouble code? You would see it on your control pannel display and/or on the light that blinks on the on/off switch. The blinking light is a code. Example: three blinks, pause, two blinks, pause, repeat. is code 32. You can look that up...

Great find, Bruno! Thank you for sharing.

Those are Monger monitors.

So if these bills become laws, do the Bentz/Bolt sleeper owners in question unhide their hidden compartments to stay on the right side of the law? Just how do you unhide a hidden compartment like that anyway? These proposed laws are just plain stupid. There is not a single case of human...

That's not the kind of story recruiters are looking for but as workshop victories go, you can be sure that everyone from EO who helped put on the workshop counts your story as a win. There are two important reasons to attend an EO workshop (EO University): 1. To learn that expediting is for...

Like what? I have been following this story closely, including talking to the reporter in El Paso who broke the story there. What "FAR more to this story" is there or might there be? Links to everything I have found on this story are here on my daily blog.

The news buzz on the Jabin Bogan story has gone quiet. He has been charged and continues to sit in a Mexico prison awaiting trial. The man has a six year old son. The boy's grandmother (Bogan's mother) and mother (Bogan's girlfriend) did not tell the boy for the first few days why dad had not...

Legislation is moving forward in two states (OH & PA) that makes it illegal to have hidden compartments in trucks, either in all circumstances or some circumstances depending on the language of the bill. The intent is to help make the world safer by denying hidden compartments to people who use...

Thank you for your kind words, peralpro. Our truck spec info and discussion is online here. They are not the specs to use on a KW but it will help you think your truck through bumper to bumper.

Of course you want to do everything possible to get it right the first time, call, Qualcomm, documentation and anything else. But even with your best efforts and those of the carrier things still go bad sometimes because the shipper messes up. We were once dispatched on a load of four skids...

Yep! Document, document, document. Make sure the piece count on the BOL matches the freight and the shipper signs. Then if a shortage or overage later devlops, it's not on you. We were once at a shipper where I loaded the freight with a pallet jack from a warehouse dock. The shipper said take...

True, but of these high-value loads, are not many of them of such high value that the carrier assumes only a limited risk and leaves the major part with the shipper? Or, is not insuarance purchased to transfer the financial risk to the insurance company? Also, with pharma loads, the high value...

I also have a one-truck expedite business. Diane and I were under load and busy with freight at the time. What does Continental Freight Brokers have to do with XPO?

Moot's mention of LTL reminds me that LTL can be used to return the container from the consignee. I see these things working best when the shipper of high value, temperature controlled freight is the owner or lessee of of the containers and has them stored on site or nearby. When one is...

Express-1 was purchased by Bradly Jacobs in September, 2011. The company today consists of the same three divisions it did before the buyout, though they are now organized under the XPO Logistics name. The subsidiary companies are: Express-1, Inc. (expedited surface transportation), Concert...

I'm not sure I get your point, Moose. As they do every quarter, XPO announced the revenue of its three divisions and other company information. Two of the three divisions showed an increase. As stated in the press release, the brokerage revenue increase was due to increased volume in one office...
