Well the only one that cares about where I die is my dog. Worried about his next scratch or meal.:D

The only reason I have Sprint is the GPS tracking etc. I got it before Verizon came out with theirs (haven't seen it yet). I do my lap top with Verizon because there's no sense in even trying with Sprint (ATT) it just stinks as far as coverage. One customer likes the Sprint tracking so what...

[passing over drivers in favor of others, unless a driver has refused a buch of loads, says they are on duty but refuses loads on the weekend because they want to be first on Monday morning, or is really ugly towards dispatchers. We can't blame them, we would too! Refuse a week end run so you...

Chef do you have 3 stacked??

In regards to Dennis ride and his mileage I see what you are referring to on fuel costs. Dennis Cargo Max has a 4:10 gear. There is one way to cure that I know of. I had one. It's the Gear Jammer auxiliary transmission. It bolts on to the back of the tranny and reduces the ratio. You can...

That's great. That say's volumes about how you run and maintain your equipment. I bet you never idle your rig when you lay over and such. I hear people talk about oil change intervals and all, as far as I'm concerned you never over service your equipment. When I get back home and oil is...

OVM you mentioned the Sprinter. A friend of mine who lives in the UK has a SRW 3500 Sprinter and he runs what they call drop freight. I guess it's like Expediting in America. He runs everywhere and has about 500,000 miles on it. Never had a problem but he does not have EGR's and all the rest...

The MB engine is an animal all it's own. The reason they want you raise the RPM's up is the same reason the old Detroit were raised. The oil pressure is to low at idle and does not circulate well. If you notice the newer gas engines and diesel engines run at higher temperatures. They tell...

That's actually the most accurate kind of scale there is. You can't hurt one of them like an electronic scale.

That's great advice. Most people don't understand that you overload the EGR when your engine is cool and idling. If you idle for heat or A/C the money spent on EGR maintenance, fuel etc can be saved if you buy a heater and a room size A/C for the back (C/V-Sprinter). You absolutely kill an...

I call it the cost of doing business. I have Sprint for dispatch calls or just plain business, but I also have Verizon because when you get out of town you don't know if Sprint will work or not. I don't advertise my Verizon number, more of a personnel phone and Sprint as a business phone. The...

Spray Windex on all the air connections. Or put 25% Dawn dish detergent in a spray bottle. It will bubble up with a minimal leak.

Good Deal there Steady Eddie, I think one reason you keep running is the fact that you have 7 years with them and they don't want to loose you. Company's know who run's and who don't, who complains and who don't and all that stuff. Of course if you change dispatchers out in less than a year...

Talk about a subject that will get the attention of Truckers. It's already proven that Numb Nut doesn't give a rat's behind about the gas prices we pay. As someone said who can wait 25 years down the road for better prices. It is also proven that drilling in ANWR can be added into the Alaskan...

That's why Chef put the inquiry here and not in the Classifieds. He wanted someone to refer someone, not get ****-a-mainey from who knows where.:eek: I did not know that was a bad word. Shame on me.

The delay's are the exact reason I don't go to Canada. Another reason, coming back to this country and dealing with the attitudes of our border patrol. Free to leave, Pay to come home. What kind of logic is that??

Got a great point there, keep up the good work!!! Haven't seen John E on here lately, must be busy.:cool:

When I had air I used to use my Windex bottle and spray valves and such. It would bubble up and show leak's. Did it when I service my truck.

Hey Dennis just thought of something. Looking at the back end of your truck, going thru some city's where you have to drive slow (like Baltimore, NY etc) might get a mirror for the back. I can see kids standing on that big bumper holding on to the handles on the sides trying to open your back...

In 2003 when I leased on with Landstar I had to go to Rockford Il for orientation for several days and that was from S.Carolina. If you want to be with a certain carrier and that carrier wants you to be there, then it shouldn't matter where they are located because sooner or later you'll be...
