    Any other companies having problems with the MCP 200

    The logging and ECM hook up don't seem to be a problem. The problem is in them turning themselves on and off, load opps not coming through quickly, tracking not working, slow start up and layouts problem with the keyboard. Our GPS is horrible. Takes forever to reroute and can't always find a...

    Next truck, asap or by early summer

    There's some great deals to be found on older well maintained trucks. The problem is, a lot of carriers won't sign them on. FedEx is 5 years old on a Class 7 and 8 years on a class 8. Check to see what the requirements are for the carrier you plan on signing them on with.

    Logs, Randoms and 34's

    You move the truck you start your clock and a drug test is an on duty activity. But there is a guy in logging that can change anything even after you approve and send. Like the time I drove off from a rest area without switching myself to the active driver.

    ICE on Truck Roof

    Great idea except it would probably rip a hole in my translucent roof. But since I do have a translucent roof I don't get as much ice or snow build up.

    First time out

    Dinner and a drink at a truck stop is about 12-13 dollars plus a tip for the great service you will receive. I'd say $15 a day would cover it.

    Auto Shift not wanting to go into gear at start

    My problem was intermittent too. I kept running it until the spring came out of the clutch and the drive train wouldn't disengage in a Walmart parking lot. I had to pull the parking brake knob and shut the engine off to get it to stop moving. My shop said it would have cost less if I had...

    I am perfectly happy with my situation. And I started my expedite career with FedEx driving one of Expediter Services trucks. I have nothing but good things to say about Expediter Services. Your opinion on this service that they offer seems to be that it is the greatest thing since sliced...

    What did you do during the Blizzard of 2011

    Having spent all of January running in snow storms between Indy, Chicago and Connecticut we got a run to Pompano Beach, Florida delivering on Friday. Made our drop, dead headed home and watched it on TV.

    Auto Shift not wanting to go into gear at start

    I had the same problem. Pilot bearing wore out causing the clutch to not be in the proper position. Then a spring came out of the clutch causing it to bind on the flywheel. The drive train would not disengage when that happened. I had to have a new clutch, input shaft, and flywheel installed...

    small fleet start up

    If you incorporate and establish credit in the businesses name you will still have to guarantee the companies credit. And if the company fails the creditors will come back to you for payment. (Been there, done that, got the t-shirt) The best thing you can do is a get a good attorney and CPA to...
