    Health Insurance

    This is a great question and thanks for asking it. I have the same issue. I dropped BCBS simply because they got to high. I had it from a company I worked for but because of the early out package I took it did not include lifetime coverage. Now I am with out Raceman OTR O/O

    This One's Probably Too Obvious

    Please keep forgetting the load locks. I apprciate it when a dock guy says "I don't know who is but you are here, want it?" As for the clip board, great idea but let me suggest if you carry large loads, put it on the inside portion of your door. You put it near the edge so when the door is...

    No BOL

    Maybe I am missing something here. I will just say what you should do and if I missed something I am sorry. You and the other driver are standing side by side at some point in this transaction. If they refuse to give you a copy you simply say lets call dispatch. If that does not work do not...

    CB Radio Voices Following Me Around

    Don't leave out "Shut Up Stupid". The panties guy just kills me. There are two of those one who says it loudly and one who whispers. I think I like the quite one a bit better. I still wish you all would just turn it on when you see another Expediter. I always have mine on and say hello normally...

    Comment On Locked thread

    If you read the thread that was locked due to personal attacks and questioning of others experience etc, you will see this is the same type of thing that has happened in the past. When this happens the cycle takes time to clear itself up and while that time is taking place the site becomes pot...

    company

    I have spoken to John many times and he is a top notch person. Recently I gave a shout on the CB to one of his trucks on I75. Guess what, he had the CB on and so we talked. He too, a driver, had nothing but good things to say. I suggest you call John Raceman OTR O/O

    Bypass Filter for CAT 3126

    I just had an experience with mine where it began running like hell. Ran many tests and everyone said this thing was testing great. I finally noticed I had let my oil go to 10,000 and I never do that. I try as it gets older to hit 6000 to 8000. I have half a million on it. Bottom line did the...

    Smal Fuel Filter for CAT 3126

    I cant believe you turned on the CB. Just kidding, you know I have beat that horse to death. In answer to your question, not one place I have ever stopped at while on the road for a PM has ever changed that filter. Not one place. I buy them at Freightliner and either tell them to do it or I...

    loads

    Please do not take this as personal it is only using a real life example to hopefully help others. I am sure you have learned already but it may help others. Do not look at the big dollar signs to make you decision to take loads into areas you can not get out of. As it was pointed out above...

    SPRINTER PROBLEMS, ANYONE?

    I am near a Freightliner and I actuall am there often. Trust me and others, tell them to look into the EGR. I have a number of freinds there and each time I ask them why all the Sprinters are there, the answer is always EGR Raceman OTR O/O

    Alumi-Bunk

    I know FECC has a lease deal through them. Not sure about Panther. So either one of two things. Alot trucks have mechanical problems or alot of trucks with those companies aint making no money. Neither sounds like a good answer. Real answer but not a good answer. Raceman OTR O/O

    Front Brakes

    This actually should not be looked at as just a brake problem. Sometimes bearings or joints will shake as pressure is applied to brakes and it will then go away as you stablilize by more pressure. I am sure I am not explaining this well on here but the bottom line is it can be some other issue...

    Got me again

    TJ, I hear you. This credit card upcharge really hacks me off. I also noticed you said you were on fumes. Be careful. I ran my tank to fumes the other day and after filling up the truck ran horrible. I could find no other reason for this so I changed out fuel filter after getting through about...

    minimum endorsements

    All good advice to this point. Not knowing what you really want to do, I offer the following. Get a class A with all endorsements. You then have some marketable skills if this does not work out for you. You will be limited to what is availible to you with only a class B with air brakes. Good...

    Expedite vs. Hotshot delivery

    There is not enough space for me to give you my opinion on this. One truck, solo driver and new to this business. This is not a good mix. Now having said that I will say it really depends on how much money you want to make and how much you have saved to cover your hobby. I am not being a smart...
