Exit 99 I 75 in Ohio. FANTASTIC Raceman OTR O/O

You are thinking as a good person. Let me tell the problem as it happened to me. I had drivers and was doing all the things you mentioned and more. When the truck was in for repairs, I paid meals and hotel as well. I even set up what would amount to a retirment plan. I set up accounts and would...

Flame, you should run your question past Dwain and Scott at E1. Explain to them what you want to do and how long you are willing to stay out. They used to be willing to work with you to load you in to home and out. Doubtful they could get you in there and out once a week but a good company will...

You should be able to contact any trailer repair service center and they can order them for you. They will measure your opening and assure you get a set that fits. Raceman OTR O/O

RE: Are there any companies that have dedicated ru I have had a dedicated route since somewhere around last March. Mine happens to use I 75 and it runs at rush hour. Let me tell you That sucks. After that is over it is wonderful until I get to the originating and final dock. UAW! Good Lord...

I am with DaveKC. They exist but they are not talked about for vary good reason. There are loads that pay that and better for Dunits. The company I run for was just talking about those when I was in the office earlier this week. I have never carried them, well one, but that has been it. Too many...

I am still here. I have just been very busy and have, simply put had not much of value to add. I have been going very hard and when the time comes I sleep. I have dropped 54 pounds and even shaved 75% of my beard off. I look in on things when I get the chance and as I said nothing really seems...

You do not want to drag this out. You can use a number of different types of shops. Radiator repair is normally a place that can fix it quickly. They will normally be able to drain fule etc. If it is a typical tank leak it may very weel be due to rust. Not uncommon on older tanks. A weld can...

Sooner or later I think everyone ask this question or one like it. You can find a lot of info from past posts on this topic. THawk was the last I saw posting on it. I think that was back in about Novemeber. Check it out. Raceman OTR O/O

friscomike, your statement about people posting not driving is wrong. I drive everyday and many others do as well. Many have computers in the truck and the internet is part of the downtime. I am very positive about this business. I was lucky or unlucky depending on when you ask me, to get a...

RE: Cat 3126 Questions/Change Gear in rear...Hiogh I have had two and they run at 2200 and run very well. The one I am driving now has over a half million and running great. I change my oil every 8000 to 10,000. Always use CAT filters. Trust me do not save the few bucks, use CAT. There is...

Well here is my input. I have always told people to "Come on in the water is fine" check my past posts. I think it is a great business. I only warn people to have the money to back up breakdowns and slow times. I run a deticated route and have for some time. It appears I will make about...

Thanks Frisco. I just got lost there. I stick to my opinion. I think those trucks are pretty good for some local stuff where the driver climbs in out loading or unloading. We all use what we have and I do not want to come across as putting anyone down. Speaking from my standpoint of being in...

Friscomike, take me through that second paragraph again. I am not understanding what it says. As for cube trucks? I think they are better suited for local work but that is only my opinion and it means nothing in this case. Raceman OTR O/O

Guys thanks very much for putting that info up. I am sure people will still only read what they want to read. If folks can not see what went on or wrong here, those same folks will be doomed if they are ever faced with an emergency of this size or type. Good Lord does everyone think the...

BigRed, I agree with everything you said accept the part where you mention "RealJob". I have heard this many times and it bothers me. I tend to think I have a real job and feel I work very hard at it. Don't get me wrong, I know it is not a 9 to 5er and it is wonderful to be my own person and in...

Wasw that directed at RichM? Oh wow! What in the world has gone on. RichM come on cough it up. LoL Raceman OTR O/O

I agree most have a problem here or there. I have been with three carriers and never5 had this problem with any of them. Lucky I guess. I would think an offer as odd as the one mentioned here would be remembered. Maybe not. Just seems odd to me Raceman OTR O/O

Is that really the way Panther works? Thank God I have not gone their road. One of my ex drivers came from Panther and he ripped them pretty good but I assumed he just was a complainer type. Why do folks stay with them if they carry on like that? Raceman OTR O/O

I think I posted this before, not sure. I have one of each. I have driven both at one time or another. The raised roof is not right. They have identical everything as far as I could find. There is an axle rating difference as mentioned above. I once asked FYDA Freightliner sales people here in...
