    Owners..Time to put up! Re; Fuel Surcharge

    Thanks.. I am aware that some accounts do not pay the charge. I am sending the names of companys that do pay 100% forward to my proper reps. Maybe just maybe they'll do the right thing but I won't hold my breathe. *lol*

    Owners..Time to put up! Re; Fuel Surcharge

Companies asked their customers for a small surcharge to help themselves and thier O/O's stay in business. (correct anywhere if my ideas are wrong) BUT somewhere...

    Well the manager went and done it! He closed the restuarant for the night shift! Said he was losing money Gee I wonder why? Food was not great ( instant potatoes) and OVER priced.

    Fuel Pump Problems

    Went thru 2 fuel pumps on my Caravan before I learned to keep the tank full as TW said the fuel is the lubricant. This Dodge van is still on the original,(knock on wood)! I try to keep it full or near full as I possibly can.

    Odometer in GM's

    Tony..can not be set to U.S miles. Just talked to one driver who did contact GM in Oshawa..Admittingly a design fault. But no admission of guilt, hence no reimbursement.

    Odometer in GM's

    3 drivers for us all this year hit the million kilometre mark and all are GM's with the digital odemeter and none of them will turn over after hitting 999,999? Now they have to keep track of mileage manually. GM wants about 300 bucks for a new one plus installation. Is there a way around this?
