    Is there a "pressure sensor" system on the rear end that would detect a leak earlier, while there is time to avoid the damage? Seems like it should be able to be done. It's over my head, but I wish I had one.

    Michigan, your state is next, for starters.

    Those who live there should be stopping those buses from even entering the state. This is getting VERY old. We can't pay for thing that our own citizens need, we don't need to be paying for a mess that Obama is 100% responsible for. He COULD secure those borders, after all, he IS C-N-C and the...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    I guess I don't understand this. I have NEVER worked a job, at any level, where a lack of the ability to understand everyone involved was NOT important. In many jobs I have worked that lack of understanding could have cost lives, or caused severe injury, at the very least. If I could not tell...

    I will tell you how lucky I am when I get the bill! LOL! Just went into the shop and told them to replace the seal on the right side while they are in changing the brakes. I am down, SO, I might as well get it done BEFORE it fails. Then we are going up to FDCC for a "Glow and Blow" class on FRI...

    Dac report

    It was just checked, and fixed, a month ago. The rear end housing had a crack in it and it was leaking. We had that welded. That repair was fine. It was a wheel seal that gave out. I am going to have the other side replaced, a preemptive strike so to speak.

    Not that I know of, BUT, if someone knows I am all ears. This is going to be very costly. New bearings, new rear brakes, new spindle, the seal etc., not to mention the labor costs. I would have LOVED to know a way to have seen this coming in advance.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    They would be sued for NOT hiring them. It is a sick country that demands that employers must hire unqualified people, and not being able to read and write conversational Standard American English IS unqualified, in the first place. There are HUNDREDS of languages spoken in the US right now...

    Say Hi to July

    FedEx has no corner on being on time. I was raised on the idea that when a time is given you should be there at that time, or earlier. IF that turns out that can't happen, inform everyone involved and project a new time. He got here about 1015, and has been working on it ever since.

    Yeah, like that makes any difference. Obama ignores the laws that the congress passes, or does not pass, and does as he pleases. The regulatory agencies are under the control of the executive branch and congress does little, or no, oversight on them. The system is broken and it, and those who...

    I have NO idea what took place with the drivers in this story. I DO know that at 1030 yesterday morning I was doing a second look at my truck and my wheel was dry, no signs of a seal leaking. I am having a spindle, seal, rear breaks etc done today. The seal failed in route and the damage was...

    I would be happy if we are back in service by morning. It's 0933, no one here yet.

    Say Hi to July

    Will be here all day. Just talked to the shop people, the guy who is doing the spindle will be here around 0930. Then he has to do the work and they say it takes about 4 hours to cool enough to be able to do the rest of the work.

    I thought it was all rust up there. :confused: Morning! NO coffee yet and a broken truck, hope your day is going better.

    Say Hi to July

    At the TA in Seymour, broken. Blew a rear wheel seal last night. The spindle is toast. Had to have FDCC take us off of two loads we were on for today. Been here since about midnight, NO telling how long we will be here. :(

    My Garmin does not even know that a truck that is 13' 2" can go out of NYC on I95S and likes to route me over the LOWER level on the GW. And yes, it is updated every time I am home.

    Re: Forget I bothered It is a VERY long story, it was a "family" thing over which I had no control. I did not drive. I had NO idea where I even was, somewhere in a part of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, that I would had NEVER been in on my own. The food was BAD, except for the bananas, there were...
