For those of you who know me, they know the answer as to why I pulled equipment from Fedex. I at one time drove for Roberts Express. When Fedex bought them out, they came in with different equipment standards, rates, and requirements. The cost didn't fit the means. I had drivers at Fedex for a...

Wouldn't it be much easier not to put misleading information out there in the first place? It would be more beneficial for the new folks that you provide accurate information from the start. That way they will know the facts from the fiction or whether you are just pimping your carrier. Davekc

aluminum wheels ......and paint it red. Dreamer....where are you? Davekc

I love that spray on undercoating. I have used it a couple of times on my box and it stopped a leak every time. Davekc

Forgot to mention on the balancers; you must have the exact size and bolt configuration. If not, you will have the problems you described. Davekc

The expediter that has the financial resources to make his or her truck payments on a very expensive, brand new truck will be standing long after the expediter that bought a used truck for a fraction of new, if the used-truck expediter has no resources to carry him or her through the slumps...

According to the federal government trucking is classified as unskilled labor. Go figure. Davekc

One that I mentioned in the chat rooms is the centramatic wheel balancers. They work great and provide alot of additional milage off your tires. Very easy install. I believe they are at www.centramatics.com A second one is the Lucas oil products. The main one I use is the oil treatment. They...

It does not indicate any fuel surcharge. If you are running at $1.05 per total mile you had better not have any deadhead. One would need to know more information, but on the basis of what you have shown, it doesn't appear to be in the owner/operators favor. Maybe someone from Conway could post...

Several years ago I had looked at leasing a couple of trucks to them but they were just local and very low paying. They didn't fit into what I was doing at that time. This was in the Houston TX market. Davekc

The above observations are true. I don't have the desire to capitalize on starting another business, but if the situation floods the market with bargain equipment as in the past, of course I might sieze the opportunity to buy and resell repoed equipment. People have to realize that the carriers...

Winegard does sell indicators ect. We have one and they work well. In addition, Glen is right in that you can't move the card from receiver to receiver. You can take your home receiver and put it in your truck. One of our relatives takes his receiver out of the house and into an RV when they go...

Good to know. Great tip Davekc

Nice truck! Davekc

You folks are right when it comes to having some type of agreement. I have had them in the past but as A team mentioned, neither party can really enforce much on it. Either side can hire an attorney and seek a judgement, but collecting on it would be difficult. The other issue as mentioned is...

When they sit it down with the light facing the seat it can remain hot and start the seat on fire. Once it is lying face down on the seat you wouldn't be able to tell that it was on with some models. I quess some people get more distracted or absent minded than others Davekc
