    I agree. I thought OVM was being honest and straight forward.

    The SST100 Returns; See it at MATS

    Sure is a nice looking truck. Is there any info on the price of this unit? We know someone who recently bought a new KW T660 with a 120" ARI sleeper with shower and toilet and a 16"reefer box. Cost around $220,000.

    Vehicle Activity

    So far this year our load count is 19 vs 20 in 2010. Our miles are down about 900. Our pay is up about $1500. Our rate per mile is up. So far a pretty good start to the year especially if you consider that we were home (in service) 14 days so far this year.

    Digital Camera Questions

    The shutter speeds are a fraction of a second. 250=1/250th of a second and 1000=1/1000th of a second. The faster the shutter speed (or the higher the number) the more action it will stop. It takes about 1/4000th of a second shutter speed to stop a hummingbirds wings while in flight. An airplane...

    Canada Can you pass? New Canadian Citizen test

    I got 5 correct.:o But then again I live in Florida and the only thing I know about Canadians is that they are smart enough to come down here in the winter to get away from the cold.

    It gets old

    They will most likely find a broken wire at a connector. The flickering side would lead me to believe that a wire is brushing up against a connector or other wire. Look for the area where your left and right sides come together. Your parking lights and clearance lamps are all on the same...

    Good Auto Auction?

    Do you really need to own a car? If you are not home often and then only for a few days or a week consider renting a car for a week from someone like Enterprise. No maintenance, depreciation or monthly insurance bills. And you get to drive something different each time. Just a thought.

    It gets old

    If mine had gone out while still in CT there is no way I could have sat underneath it in 17 degree weather on a chunk of ice in the truck stop and fixed it myself. It would have had to go into the shop. Luckily SC was dry and warm.

    It gets old

    Had a similar problem about 10 days ago. On a run from CT to SC lost all of the box clearance lights. Noticed just at sunrise. Completed the run and then at the J in Rockhill started searching for the problem. Traced it backwards from the lights using a tester and found a wire to wire connector...

    Logs, Randoms and 34's

    I might be mistaken but I seem to remember someone posting that you could go OOS while predispatched. I think it was A Team but I am not sure.

    Logs, Randoms and 34's

    If you don't want to be called for a random you would have to put your truck and yourself out of service. (You have to call dispatch to put yourself out) We do this whenever we are at home and don't want to be disturbed. A 34 hour restart is not required to be on duty just to get your 70 hours...
