    &$#^&&* Freightliner

    They replaced the expansion valves and the dryer. They flushed the system and re-charged it. They also fixed a leaked drain pipe. They claimed the expansion valves were causing the fan problem. I have not had a chance to call them. I really don't don't know where to try it this time. Anyone ever...

    &$#^&&* Freightliner

    My fan repair lasted 6 days. It is back to running the entire time the AC is on. This is starting to suck. I won't get a chance to have it looked at until Friday at the soonest. I just love wasting money, I have soooo much to spare. Layoutshooter

    Happy I Found This

    LOL, Yes I did hear some things in private msgs. I am thankful that most are polite in here. On the other hand, it could have made for some really good comedy!!! By the way, what are landing gear? Layoutshooter

    More troubles

    We were on a straight through load but limped it in. The rain had stopped so the connections worked a little better. It is normal wear and tear. I think it is a shame that wires are not protected better than they are. If I were to build a truck I would not run wires against the frame rail. I...

    Happy I Found This

    Good luck and welcome to the forum. We are a straight truck team and love it. We talk to a bunch of T/T teams. Some to well, some don't. Attitude is a big player on your sucess or failure. Only the vans seem to be having a hard time right now, who knows, that could always change. Take your time...

    More troubles

    More truck troubles or the joy of being an Owner/Operator. This time the transmission started dropping out of gear when we decelarated. It was raining. It sort of cleared up when things dried out. Took it to the Freightliner in Albany, NY. They said that it was in the J3919(I think that is it)...

    Fan Problem 3

    I picked up my truck today and of course it did not work. The air was cold, the fan cycled just fine but I was getting a check engine light. That was not part of my original problem. I took it right back in and they put the reader on it. It came up showing the low pressure sensor not reading. It...

    What a goof up I did !

    We accepted one of those "mutiple stop loads" in The Bronx/Manhatten area on purpose. Caught us at a weak monment. We had been sitting for 15 hours and we were getting "itchy" for a load offer. Did not turn out to be too bad. They parked us for 3 days and the customer came to us!! We really...

    Roadcheck 2008

    We have found that most officers who have inspected us have been professional and a couple have been even nice!!! We did have a sticker that was good until June but lost that when the windshield was replaced. layoutshooter

    AA / Rigmaster

    We are able to leave the sleeper curtains open and still stay cool now, at least so far. Been pretty hot and humid in some places already and they have helped keep the entire cab/sleeper area comfortable. We like leaving the sleeper curtains open as much as we can. Makes it feel like we have a...

    AA / Rigmaster

    Hey Bob and Linda, Jan made us some window shades out of the silver inulation stuff they sell at Lowe's etc. The kind that has air bubbles in it. It totallly blocks the light and has dropped the temp inside by several degrees. It makes our ProHeat work much better on the cooling side. Layoutshooter

    You've been where?

    We took the A/V equipment for the German Ice skating team from Atlantic City to St. John's NF. We watched them skate and then loaded each team members things as they came off the ice. We have have run some much better more interesting high profile runs but I would have to kill you if I told...
