You cant beat BENTZ TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS of Ft.Wayne In.for expediter sleepers.They are built so well that I kept my first one and transfered it to my new truck.I am sure it would have served well on my third,but I got a bigger one this time.(84")If there has been any down side,it is that on...

Its just my opinion, but I would only co with a C unit if you intend to team drive. C trucks must keep a log on all runs.Vans only log when carring Hazmat. The new Hours of service severly limit the potential of a solo driver.I have had 4 years in a van and 11 years in a C. I would go back to a...

Funny you should mention 24/7 service advertised in the dealer book.Just this day I had my check engine light come on.At the same time,the exhaust brake stopped working.The Diagnostic codes showed a problem with the ECU.

My first recruter with FECC (then Roberts exp) suggested that I get a used truck,about 2 yr old first to be sure I would like the business.I took his advise,and found I loved the business.I have found FECC to be very honest in introducing you to the Co.As long as you ask the right questions.IE...

I want to second that emotion,George. Mcord #1 in the Expeditors HOF.

Have you noticed the expanded low carb menu at FJ.They now have about 9 Dinners and/or Breakfast,all with fewer than 13 carbs.Most come with soup and salad bar.I think they are to be commended for giving us these choices. It remains to be seen if there are enough people who are serious about...

Servitude is not necessarly a bad thing.If both partys know exactly whats expected in the begining(In writing)It can be a win win for both.If I onwed a fleet of trucks,I would be racking my brain with ideas on how to fill those seats with reliable drivers.That truck cant make money for anyone...

WELCOME MSAWICKI... You may want to read the thread on my M2. You will find it under Truck Talk With heading"M2 Problems"We have experienced many of the same frustrations your owner has.Parts must filter through Detroit Diesel locations,causing mixups and delays.This was supposed to be...

Figures are right on the mark...About being home often,it depends on where you live.If you are in "Auto Alley"(Oh,In,Mi,Ont),you will be by the house often.If not,you will only be sucessful if you get out into the system for a while.

Thanks "Ole"We can use all the feedback aqnd contacts we can find.The latest chapter in our saga of the "Burping Beast"is as follows.As I have stated before,three different computers were tried to correct the problem.Well it seems,the latest was not programed to allow the clutch fan to come...

RE: Fed Ex CC.... the good, the bad, the ugly ..pl ARKY...if you are allready looking forward to the day when family will come to bail you out,you are programing yourself to failure. The only way to survive in this business is to be extremely frugal,and resist the temptation to blow those big...

Im not sure if anybody makes a 48" "stand up".the matress would have to be very small.I would be searching for at least 60" if you want a stand-up.

I really dont know whats going on with AOL.They threw out all of our msgs going to their customers coming from our Qualcom/Cabcard.Im all for spam filtration, but this is just going to far
