We very seldom go to SpeedCo anymore since we have added the OPS1 to our truck. The savings have been tremendous to us and since we can now afford to use synthetic oil that has helped our fuel mileage.

Good Housekeeping Tip from Maxine! Always keep several "Get Well" cards on the mantel, so if unexpected guests arrive, They will think you've been sick and unable to clean the house. Do you think this might work in the truck?

I wish that I had one product that would do every thing! We have limited storage and I hate using it up like this!

Pelicn I agree with you on a safe following distance but I have seen sheets of ice come off a trailer even at a slow speed that amaze me at how long it hangs in the air. Right now though the truck is an easy target and many people are figuring this out and can get a new windshield very easy...

You are right about the buck!! I am hoping that we start to see more and more reasonable solutions to this problem as the buck stops here when we have to pay for a windshield or even worse?

There are drivers that have been affected by this in the past year. They are being chased down and told the ice off of their truck has broken a windshield. It is happening more and more often. If they do not stop the truck they are getting the truck number and calling into the company. Right...

We also will not have a problem with the speed of the speed limiter it is just the principle. Fuel is our highest cost and something we work hard to control and we have not needed any extra to pass. If we cannot pass at a slower speed then it is not a safe place to pass even though it is very...

I sent you a PM on the link to the insurance we were sent information on through FCC. We like what we have all ready with the high deductable and MSA.

Our last DoD load to Quebec paid very well. If all the DoD loads are going to pay like that money talks and we will have our ECM changed. Right now we are also in a wait and see phase as we are not going to consider the speed limiter unless the money is there to make it worthwhile. With so...

Found this little tidbit in the MATS truck show catalog and of course it was after the show was over. http://heatmattproducts.com/ Has anyone see or heard of this product? The laws are getting more intense on this issue as well as the fines and penalties if you are accused of ice coming off...

What company are you with? FedEx Custom Critical offers a huge group plan with many different insurance companies you can compare with. You might also check with OOIDA on health insurance if you are a member. We have found for us that a high deductable insurance is what works best. Most...

Bob uses rubber gloves when polishing the truck but I never thought to try them on the upholstery I am going to give that a try today. Very interesting.

We are in South Carolina and enjoying the weather! Spring has hit down here and it feels great.

We had that happen once at Middle Georgia and our next call was to Heath Woods one of the owners. It has not happened since. As for the NAPA deal I will have Bob give Frank a call and see if Bob can do some more digging around.

Wow had no idea you get rust out that way Awesome!

I agree Greg in no way did we ever feel threatened by this guy nor did we in the way he approached the truck. If we had been to afraid to talk to him we would have missed out on a lot of history of that part of the city. He was a professional at his job and he was good at it. He gave...

How have they changed dead head we have seen nothing different? The fsc has gone down along with the price of fuel so our fsc on our deadhead miles has really went down. That is not a FCC thing that is driven by the national fuel price average.

This is something that drives me nuts as when you call into the VRU and you hear all of the loads that have been dispatched it sounds great and you want to move to that Express Center. The loads dispatched on the VRU can be relocates and also trucks from other Express Centers with more dwell...

Last time we bought shocks Bob asked our local Freightliner what their shocks cost and when he heard the price he said ok I will go to NAPA. The sales guys asked Bob what the shocks were at NAPA and he then beat the price. That was a new one for us.

You are looking at two different things. The VRU is loads dispatched from an Express Center and C-Link is trucks checked into a Express Center.
