I continue to be fascinated by the on-going complaints concerning some companies attempts to keep their o/o's from getting ANY info about what might be going on, at a particular time, that directly impacts a o/o's decision making. It makes me even more grateful for the amount of info that LEA...

As I sit on the balcony of our hotel, over looking the calm Atlantic ocean, I was shocked to find that I really DON'T know it all. As you can imagine, this came as quite a surprise. Thanks for all of these tidbits of info that I can use to dazzle my wife, when she wakes up. Well, time for more...

As mentioned, you will get a lot of differing opinions as to which cellular service is the "best". I've had AT&T "One Rate" for a little over four(4) years and have been very happy with not only the phone service,but also with the customer service(!!!). As for connecting to the internet: I...

Again, Weave, you nailed the primary "event" that triggers the noise: Applying power, particularly when going up hill. Sorry to hear that there is really no cure for this problem.

A while back, I posted comments regarding a "noisy" clutch. Well, I've had the clutch replaced(all new, not rebuild), I've replaced the clutch linkage. Still, the noise goes on. The "experts" told me it was the throw-out bearing(s). Obviously, it wasn't. Any suggestions? Thanks for your...

Just wondering: What is "Gamblers" motive for adding what I guess is supposed to be a scare tactic at the end of his post?

Noise update!! The clutch is out and services are scheduled for noon tomorrow. It was shot. Also, rear main seal was leaking and had to be replaced; seal where gear shift enters the tranny was leaking; and another seal, of some sort, had to be replaced. The good news: The labor costs are...

Funny you should ask about this problem on the day AFTER I put my 2001, FL-70, 6 speed in the shop for a new clutch. After asking about a half a dozen mechanics, I started to believe there must really be a problem with the "throw-out bearings" The main symptom was the incesant NOISE!! I...

There was recent posr regarding how each forum member, or guest, par-ticipates in the on going "debate", as it pertains to expediting. I just got home this afternoon, after two and a half weeks on the road. During this period, I don't believe I was in a place where internet access was available...

No, it isn't that nasty type that is killing people. Mine is a bacterial form called Streptococcal Pneumonia. I had a vaccination last October that was supposed to prevent this strain of the bacteria, but my doctor says I was one of the 4% that it doesn't protect! Just the luck of an expediter...

I've been at home for several weeks with a rather nasty bout with pneumonia: 6 days in the hospital, over $10,000 in medical bills, & off the road for 5 weeks, so far. So, before venturing back out on the road, I thought I would ask "How's it been going?" Especially for "D" units. Thanks for...

In response to moving a pallet: If you can afford it, your best option would be to buy a "pallet puller" & 8' of chain. I think I paid a little over $100 for mine. It's great!;-)

RE: Name That Gizmo! Based on some of the posts, recently, perhaps this "gizmo" must be a FedEx CC suggestion box! Whatdaya think?:+

Like many others, I am mechanically challenged. Would like for some of you more knowlegeable folks to give me an opinion on the cost of replacing a release bearing in a 2001, FL-70. It is a Cummins 260hp. w/a 6 speed. My "car" mechanic said that I should rebuild the entire clutch. Is that rue...

Does anyone have an idea for getting service on a Rigmaster generator? I'm in Charlotte, and would like to get it done while I'm home. Thanks in advance for your feedback. :-)

I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV; but I'm not going to let that stop me. I do remember a couple of BIG words I heard a while back: Arbitrary & Capricious, I think both apply to your situation. If the comments about an "age" limit on trucks was verbal, I don't think that makes those...

RE: Win a Prize - Have Fun! WEBIN' WITH WEAVE!

Just goes to show how crazy this business is: Last Christmas, I left Charlotte on 12/23, del. in St. Louis on 12/24, spent Christmas day in Kansas City & del. there on 12/26. An agent called me on the 27th & offered to pay me FULL RATE to dead head back to St. Louis & pick up a 3 stop load that...

Now that I have given up trying to lease out my "D" unit(I just pulled my ad), I would like some input/feedback on the best course of action for "making it" as a solo driver, in this distressed market that we find ourselves in. I will most likely be leased to Landstar(I am familiar with their...

I haven't had the opportunity to read the replies to my post regarding the CDRP for over a week, & I am quite surprised at how vitriolic some of the replies have been. The folks that have replied with well reasoned responses are to be congratulated, both Aericans & Canadians. To Those of you who...
