RE: Fix For Windshield Condensation on Freightline Once again Friscomike you have a great solution to a Freightliner problem. Let me say I have delt with that little problem all summer. I hate it. Thanks for the idea. Since you have become a member on here, I have just sat back and waited for...

I am a Leo and this Lion Thanks everyone of you who has spent time in our Armed Forces. Thank you for your service and giving me the right to sit here and type this Thank You. Due to flat feet and a spine problem I never had the chance to do or experience what each of you have. I am sure there...

Let me suggest you use a cell phone and program your dispatch numbers into it or do as I have and get a Nextel for dispatch. Keep it with you on your person and you can call from the box or dock. Get a hand held recorder. They are very small and about $39.00. Turn the volume up and turn it on...

LDB, now that is using the ole nogging. Great point! Raceman OTR O/O

Hey now I never thought of that. You are right I am sure. Raceman OTR O/O

Yes you can. It has very little to do with weight. It is getting space between tire and road which can and does occur on wet pavment no matter the weight. Look into Schneiders training site in Wisconsin where they actually make drivers experience this in their training program. You can most...

Contact OOIDA Raceman OTR O/O

Thanks for the info. I have always used TIA. I was just wondering. Always looking for better pricing. Fuel goes up, I like to cut costs somewhere Raceman OTR O/O

Has anyone ever used OOIDA services for Insurance or Financing options? I am going to call them next week to see if they can get any better rates on truck insurance. Just wondering if others have used these services. Raceman OTR O/O

Call Freightliner. I am guessing 12500. But call Freightliner. The truck most likely goes about 17000 empty and you should be 30000 to 33000 GVW. Just my thoughts Raceman OTR O/O

I hear your thought process. Been there and had the same thought. BAD IDEA! It adds to the slip factor. Fork trucks will slide to front and left to right and either go through your box, or spin and not get out of some docks due to angel. Raceman OTR O/O

I had a very short driver in one of my trucks. Same problem. Here is what we did. Cut a piece of 4x4 and with plastic ties and then duct tape placed the blocks on the pedals. Adjust your wood size to fit her needs. A mechanic saw this and told me it was not uncommon in the biz. If you do it...

I do not own a Sprinter but I am at Freightliner a lot because I own a Freightliner and I have freinds there. Yes the EGR valve is a major problem on these units. They are in that shop daily for EGR valves. Sorry just fact Raceman OTR O/O

I have XM since the start. I listen to conservative talk, 205 and NASCAR. Music I listen too includes: Blues, Top Tracks and ROCK of all sorts. I also listen to comedy while in traffic. It calms me down and betters my mood keeping me from rear ending idiots. Raceman OTR O/O

Too much sugar as mentioned above. Mountain Dew used to put me right out. I too use peanuts or Beef Jerkey and limit my sugar. Turn the CB on. It will make you so mad, you cant help but stay awake. Raceman OTR O/O

I own those types of trucks. I have bought in the past and am always looking around. I think that price is high depending on what has been done to the engines and what tranny they have. Give me more details and I will give you my best opinion. Raceman OTR O/O

I agree with both of your responses but I will track that sob down. I have seen people robbed, beaten up and one killed, none of them bothered me like this. I will find him and walk him to the police just so the SOB knows he did not get away with it. That is his satisfaction and he is bragging...

Last week I witnessed a hit and run accident. It happened in Mason Ohio on Fields Ertel Road. I reported it to the Warren County Sheriffs departments and a Deputy did come to scene and take a report. I got the description of the van, the driver and the numbers of the plate. I am unsure if it was...

mvbn1, You have got a point. Raceman OTR O/O

You must deal with better Bears. I have called 911 on drunk drivers, reckless drivers and middle Eastern guy with a camera and zoom lens taking picturs of a chemical rail yard and never once have they shown up. You are getting them there for TGers. Wow! Good Guys Raceman OTR O/O
