I capitalized so people would be sure to catch it but it did not do the trick. I said my statements/questions were not about the fellow in the post. I am sure he is doing right in his case. I am trying to talk other even a not existing owner or company. Never mind. I have no desire to argue...

Thanks Leo. I did go back and reread and maybe there is a bigger issue than I first saw. I do want to throw something out and it is not pointed at this person or person at all. In most jobs folks get two weeks of vacation, on average, a year in the first few years of a career. The reason I...

I have read the two posts about owner problems and I simply must be missing something. I do agree with all the advice on how to go about returning the truck but as for the post on why, I simply have to be missing something. As I read the post it said the truck took more time off than the...

Thanks NeverHome. Yes I changed sensor. The problem is twofol. First the Freightliner folks have given me two difeerent dip switch formula and the fact the the speedometer, new one did not work either. My odometer still works but speed needle is shot. I have to change it out and wanted to know...

I know it is illegal if you just up and do it. That is why I am changing though. It is also illegal to run with one thatdoes not work. The head on mine died. That is what I am trying to fix is the milage. It must be set to the same as the old one. When you plug in the new one the computer is to...

I need some info on changing out my speedometer head on my FL80. I have been told by Freightliner to set dip switches on the new one just like the old one. Did not work. Set them oppisite the old. Did not work. Tried two new units. Did not work. I have th third now. Does anyone really know how...

Now I think I can add something. As the talk seems to bash drivers, it is not. Many of the folks who sound as though they are bashing are truck owners. Fleet owners. I was in that position for a while and all that they say is very true. In the position of owner you can not have that truck sit or...

i wish I could say more or say it better but Terry hit in on the head. Square on the head as did X. Raceman OTR O/O

It is my understanding that some friehgt business is up by 11 %. This comes from a fantastic source at a particular compnay who can speak up here if he wishes. I, as you all know still run for an expedite company, well actually more like an LTL time sensitive company and do in fact run...

Timing sensor. I had that same type of thing happen and that is what it was. If they plug it in they can tell you right away what caused it simply by the code. Raceman OTR O/O

Good Luck with that. As I stated in my post, that just put me away last week for six days in the hospital in combo with infection. Crying does not describe what those make a man do. Raceman OTR O/O

Pack, here is a shot from last night about dusk at Faxon Deep Hole Drilling. Sorry it is not dark enough and I also apoligize that I do have my lights on my steps yet. With the vacation and all I have not got them on. Thanks for asking for the pic though. I am still running my Ford route this...

Oh Great this is just what I need. Some other place to buy stuff I just don'tneed but may very well want. Thanks for the lead. Raceman OTR O/O

You guys are killing me. Lol. Here is the right side. I did go out and run 30 miles to fuel Turck for Monday. I am going at the week with a good attitude. I will feel good and I will have work. While fueling I saw a PantherII Volvo with a heck of a sleeper on it. Looked like a class 8. Did not...

i completely understand that shot. I would have taken it too. If all went well I have attached a picture. Please understand they are now dirty. Lol Raceman OTR O/O

right before the long weekend I got my new 80 gallon aluminum tanks on my truck. All set to go I ran one night and then set out Sunday to polish them. By Monday morning I was in the hospital with pain like I have never had. Good news is I was released Friday late morning. The bad news seems to...

I am in a 72" and had the same comment from a big FedExcc couple. I did about the same thing. The difference was I said "well I work 12 hours a day, about four of that watching tv or on computerand home every night. I wasable to go a little better in that I had settlement stubs with me and when...

Broom, just my two cents here. This is a topic about the 3126 therefore you will hear good and bad about it. The engines all have good reports and bad no matter who makes them. I have a freind who runs a dump with a Cummins and it is in the shop more than on the road. I also spoke to aguy with...

Been with them as team, solo and owner only. I woul reco them more as a team but i had no big problems. As a solo i reco Expess 1 more so than TS. Raceman OTR O/O

I assume I will come across as harsh but I think the freight is the companies first love. It is nice to have them worry about us or understand when weather is bad but outside of that I see no problem with them putting freight in front of me. As X said, thats what we ar paid for. Part of the deal...
