    How do I find an air leak ?

    Don't forget the sleeper air ride air bags is so equipped. Our truck was doing the same as you described. Finally hole in one bag grew large enough to hear. Replaced bags, problem solved (at least for now) Good luck!

    Brooks, KY at the Pilot -- "Bordentown, South" lol. Several other FedEx trucks here. Load tonight headed toward near home. Looks like we'll be spending the holiday home with family :)

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    We need a Leader. Really hasn't been one since Reagan. Someone who can inspire others and get things done. Maybe we need another actor, lol.

    Trucks fixed (X-Y shifter and a non-working solenoid). Sitting at the Kingsland, GA. Petro, waiting for the beep :)

    We're Back

    Welcome back! Hope things work out for you this time. Are you considered WG now that you added the liftgate?

    We hope to be long gone by the time it gets here, if it comes this way!

    We'll try that in the morning. Made it to the Flying J at St. Augustine. Probably were going to spend the weekend here anyway. Now just have to wait and see what that pesky hurricane is going to do. Thanks for the info!

    Yep, a 10 speed ultrashift. Pull up to a red light, step on the fuel, nothing happens. Shift into N, then back into D and it works, but won't shift out of 5th. Shut the truck off, then back on and it works fine, for a bit then it acts up. It's fine at highway speeds.

    Trying to limp the truck into Jacksonville. Transmission not acting right and can't get it into KW till Monday morning. Not too thrilled at the moment.

    pay rate ALL Miles

    We've had similar things happen. I think sometimes it all depends on who the customer is. If a larger, "good" customer needs a load covered, the carrier may take a loss on ONE load to keep the customer happy. Same idea as a department store selling certain products below their cost to draw...

    ARI's New High-Rise Package With Walk-Through Sleeper Opening

    You might be surprised about that. We've seen several fully decked out WG/TVAL"C" trucks with sleepers that appeared larger than the box. :eek: Phil's truck is a "C". Probably 85-90% of the TVAL freight we haul would fit in a 14' box.

    Multi-Carrier, Freight volume, and selling advertisements on your truck/van

    I know sometime back, there was a thread on here concerning the "billboard" trucks you sometimes see on the highway. Smaller straights (or cutaways) with what amounts to a billboard. They are paid to drive the billboard around. I seem to remember someone had looked into it, or maybe even were...

    Getting ready to pull into the Ruther Glen, Virginia Flying J / (Ex Petro). Here for the night, pickup near DC tomorrow. Good food, a little different than most :)

    Careful With That Axe, Brandon

    I read some of his "wall" posts. Some of our regular posters probably should be looking over their shoulders. Private or not, should it really matter?

    Careful With That Axe, Brandon

    From Fox News: So much for free speech. Maybe those FEMA camps do exist. :mad:
