    class 8 trucks

    RE: class 8 trucks(DaveKC) Yes that was us in Ontario. Is your TV system still working? We had the winegard system but never got it to work correctly. It was installed by camper world. Still on the lookout for a trouble-free system. In defense of camper world they unsuccessfully tried to fix it...

    What kind of annual Gross can a "D" unit expect to

    RE: What kind of annual Gross can a If you are going to drive single, be prepared for new hos rules. They will greatly change your income. I agree with Rich M. that those above numbers are not realistic. If I were a single driver I would stay away until everyone can see what impact it will...

    CAT 3126

    RE: Expediter engines sorry to hear about your isc cummins. Many of your problems have been experienced by others. You are right, that if the C9 is a $5,000 option, I would have serious thoughts myself. As far as the 3126, yes, if you are a west coast runner, a 3126 is not the motor you want to...

    Fuel consumption while idling?

    gallon an hour is about right. sometimes a little less depending on rpm idle and how warm or cold it is.

    CAT 3126

    Any idea on when they are going to make this available? I wonder how much different they will make it for the truck market. They did say they can make alot of computer changes, which may or may not be a good thing. It will be interesting to see what happens.

    hey weave

    Hi Someone was asking me about C&M and I didn't know anything about them. Do you drive for them or All-state. Couldn't remember who you drove for. They don't have internet so I told them I would check. Thanks

    I guess it is a secret? They thank you for the info. I retrieved it from another source for them.

    CAT 3126

    you seem to have as much luck with cummins as I have with cats. With the maintenance I spent on our old cummins I could have bought a new truck. They make a good rebuildable block but the rest of it is junk. Our local kenworth dealer won't sell the smaller ones for this reason. They say it is...

    CAT 3126

    I don't know, I think I will take my 900000 miles on a 3126. I will agree they are not what one would call a rebuildable engine. But easy figuring tells me the "$12 to 15,000 to buy new beats the same amount over a shorter period of time for countless repairs and considerable downtime on a...

    Thinking of jumping into the business with a D uni

    RE: Thinking of jumping into the business with a D One thing to remember with the new hos rules is that if you have to deadhead to a location to pick up a run the clock is still running. If you have to go 100 miles to pick up a load you have lost roughly 2 hours already. If you have no DH I...

    CAT 3126

    We have put several posts on here regarding this engine. We have a old fl70 with about 900000 and it is still running. But it does smoke a little. In addition, we have a kw300 and it currently has 285000 on it. As of late we have not had to put any money or repairs into the kw. Maybe we are just...

    FMSCA Clarifies ambiguous and controversial HOS Ru

    RE: FMSCA Clarifies ambiguous and controversial HO Bottom line is that if you are a single driver you are screwed with the 14 hr rule. Yes 2 periods of sleeper (min. 2 hrs) with a total of ten equal a problem. It is not an accident that JB, Wal-mart, Swift ect, are adding trucks and trying to...

    kw wipers

    Have a T300 that the right side wiper chatters. We put new blades (complete), and replaced both long arms. Still does it. Has anyone else had this problem? Truck is a 99 model, about 200,000 miles. Before I forget, when you first turn them on it is ok, happens after it has been on for a...

    New HOS rules.

    I keep seeing shorter loads to those that have available hours. Still sounds like less money. Since the wife and I team I don't really see a negative effect for us, but I do support the single folks who are certainly going to take a hit from this. The best thing I saw was on EO relating to the...
