Freight rates have remained the same or fallen over the fuel cost bubble. FSC rises, but the base rates agents charge must have been cut. Just a reality check. That information is correct. This is the same information I have received when ocassionally booking a load through one of their agents...

BigBusbob wrote; like the idea of a walk-thru of some kind, perhaps one could do it with a Volvo or other style truck cab... Dave, do you have a washer/dryer unit on there? also, how big is your freshwater tank? I'm going to Freightliner of Knoxville tomorrow, or Weds., to look at rigs on...

Over the years we have bought items there but have never ordered through their catalog or internet site. Based on Broom's experience, I would recommend an in person visit if purchasing anything from them. Supplies can also be had at most trailer dealers and are usually pretty reasonable. In...

Leo,I would check with the people a BENTZ.They will know if your roof will need special support for the AC unit.They may be able to handle the entire job for you. If I recall correctly, Bentz will not do a roof air on a express cruiser. This info was from a Landstar team who just bought...

If no one will go first there won't be enough EO band width to handle the volume Yes, I will need my own forum to post all the pages. Davekc

asked the same question (or something close to it) two years ago when I was researching the industry. Unfortunately, I got bad information from people here Not sure who at that time provided you with "bad" imformation, but Terry and RichM are the most knowledgable that I have seen with regards...

Driveguy207 I have been told by many shops that even for a high efficiency Rooftop A/C to cycle on when its hot you'll need 25amps which would take a 3000watt generator Good info. This is accurate. Draw on the generator will be higher as the ambient air temp. increases. The proheat I believe...

It is good to see Panther come to the table with the right outcome. The wheels turn, but sometimes slowly. It probably slowed it down alittle because of the approaching holiday. Good to see you are getting out of that "fleece purchase deal" Davekc

Raceman Would it be an idea to go to another sleeper manufacturer and have the ground wire located somewhere else? It would seem like a easy fix? Davekc

kind of see the problem luv is aluding to, "sending idiots to drive with me". How many times do we see the recommendation that you drive for an owner before you take the big leap. That opens the door for pandora's box you know. Interestingly, I read that same advice given on this site by an...

DrLuv wrote I've learned that if your going to be a driver for someone, the first time they ask you to take money out of your pocket to fix "their" truck run, leave their truck where it is and catch a bus or plane home. If they don't have the money for break downs I am alittle different on...

Lady Expediter wrote team always wanted truck in the shop at least once a month. That may be a little miscommunication or a model that requires alot of repairs. You don't mention year or model of truck. On our trucks, they go in to the dealer every 5 to six weeks. Sometimes they do a little...

It is disappointing to hear your story. As with anything, there is both good and bad owners as well as drivers. There is almost a news media concept as to why you hear more bad than good. Many are quick to point out the bad in owners, why the decent ones are seldom mentioned. Several recent...

RE: expediter truck Yes we did run into each other in Resaca "J". I get alittle nervous anytime you cut into the cab on a truck when it involves cutting or modifying the cab frame. I like the after marker concept because I can switch chassis much easier. Very cost effective over time. The...

If everything checks out ok and in the case if it is new, it is likely the throw out bearing. Davekc

expediter truck BigBusBob I like the way you think. I think we are close to what you are seeking. Davekc

wonder if they would sell the goucho/dinette? We would like to just purchase this one item. hmmm. mcbride- I would think they would. If not or just want to comparable shop, ARI or ICT likely will sell them. The other place would be Double Eagle. Davekc
