    Some of the advantages of a big company. Fedex has glass coverage with $100 deductible, Landstar is $0 deductible, 2 free windshields a year. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Warning Drivers please read this. RIP. Young Expediter.

    Very [emoji22]. Early in my expediting career I talked to a team in a sprinter. They had a generator mounted on the front of the van, in front of the grill. One night they almost didn't make it. They had the generator running and the wind was blowing CO into the van. He woke up to go to the...

    December Locations and X-mas cheers

    Those $50 add up pretty quickly. I choose to keep those in my pocket instead of giving them to the hotel owners.

    Another Expediting First

    Starman, we don't call others names if we disagree with them. This behavior is prohibited in the Code of Conduct that you agreed with when you signed on. Secondly, this industry used to be a lot more rewarding. Things like detention, layover, hand load/unload were more or less an automatic...

    The way forward

    I don't think you are an idiot. Maybe you need to look at other companies. I was with your company for a lot of years and I made good money. Eventually they changed some rules and I wasn't making money any more so I jumped ship.

    new sprinter van coming out

    DEF's purpose is to reduce NOx on a diesel. On a gasser reducing NOx is easily done with the EGR so... Now DPF, the truth is that all gasoline engines with direct injection are terrible about the particulates they put out. Just look at the exhaust pipe of any of them and you will see the black...

    Cool. I know the 4 is not available any more, but thought you might have found a brand new leftover with the 4 cyl. What happened with your old one?

    The way forward

    I've been doing the expediting thing since 2005 and there was no time in my expediting career that I wasn't able to support my family. I drove a Sprinter from 2005 to 2016 and since then a straight truck solo. I changed some companies since I started, and I made money with all companies, from...

    Nervous newbie

    Speaking of the MBE900, I like mine. I bought my truck in March 2016 with 555k miles on it. I just passed 650k and all I've done to the engine was the injector lines and transfer tubes. A couple of them were leaking a bit, so I bought a set on eBay for $150 and changed them myself and the fan...

    My Promaster 3500 repair.

    A friend of mine with a 2014 had camshaft replaced at around 130k paid from his pocket, then at a bit over 300k a camshaft (don't remember if it was the same one or not) messed up and destroyed the head, etc. He ended up replacing the whole engine. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Nervous newbie

    Ugh. I remember those phone calls in my FedEx days. Insane. Then I switched to Landstar and they never bothered me. Load 1 is almost like Landstar in this respect. Only twice I got calls like this in my year and a half and one was because of the Omnitracs not updating the position. I was...
