    My Hino Nightmare

    I did ask for the past history of truck, Leasing rep stated that it never had required major work, just the normal little thing that happen with these trucks, and that is one reason they decided to lease it to my even with 164K on the clock. Maybe it is a Hino issue, not a whole lot of history...

    My Hino Nightmare

    I really don't get much feedback on what they do to the truck, I usually have to ask and it's very vague info when I do get some. Was doing some year end paperwork and drove approx. 10K in lease replacement trucks and about 35K in my own truck, all of this since April

    m2 106 shaking

    I wonder if these trucks are realigned after the sleeper and box are put on the frame or are they aligned for just the cab and frame. This would make a huge difference

    m2 106 shaking

    I have driven a few frieghtliners and they all seemed to have the 45 mph shake. I know it's not common practice but maybe try balancing the tires. I assume this wasn't a problem at one point. Did this happen with the old tires or just the new ones? Have you hit any curbs, or huge potholes...

    Weight Distribution

    I don't think MPG would be affected by load placement. If I have skids that aren't tall and am not worried about them tipping I place the skids down the center of the floor(If they weigh over 2000 total, anything less does not affect ride at all). I corner slowly and never have had a problem...

    What kind of Cb

    Can you put a mod on any CB, not sure if I want to hear 60 to 70 out but a little more than mine would be nice, at least 10 to 15 miles, this would cover most of Fort Wayne

    Best lock?

    I use master locks and I have the real good ones, you can't use most bolt cutters on it, maybe if they had the 5 foot handles, they might work.(ask me how I know this LOL) I use graphite to keep the lock mechanism working well, I have had problems with frozen locks when we get ice rain, but a...

    Sound like you might work for Aramark LOL How physical depends on a lot of things. Straight truck or van driver? A lot of loads are skids put in your van or straight truck. You could also have loads that are hand unload. At Ceva and Towne Air I would say my work is about 50/50 half...
