I have my cell phone handy and Penske's number programmed in it. Other than that I put my Rain X winter blend washer fluid in :D I plan on buying a case of Diesel fuel supplement

There was snow this morning in Michigan and Northern Indiana:eek: I delivered to two grocery distribution centers today, can we say SLOW!!!!! At least I get paid wait time:cool:

I do plan on using the additives, I wonder if the newer trucks are harder to start due to the reformulated diesel and that most is mixed with biodiesel, or maybe the fuel systems on these trucks are just more fickel No matter how long you crank some of these newer trucks they just won't fire...

Hmmm, not sure does your truck have glow plugs or an intake heater. FL70 is a pre 2000 truck I assume The newer Internationals, Hino, Freightliner M2's all will not start when it gets cold. I'm speaking from experience on all these trucks, since I have driven all makes of medium duty trucks...

I would think my truck is out of warranty at 188K, not sure though, remember I do not own this truck I lease it.

I am not saying we need more regulation. I am saying we need more common sense. Something this world is lacking. If it is nasty out most likely you won't be out driving as long because you will be fatigued. Yes, most anyone can drive for 18 hours, but are they doing it safely? I think...

Class 8 is a converted semi tractor, converted into straight truck Not sure if it matters but letting us know what state your in might help out on which company might be best for you

I took it to a local photo store, this was years back, and I can't remember the price Super 8 to VHS gives you an idea that it was a few years back LOL Who uses VHS anymore, yes I still have a VCR but I haven't used it in years:cool:

<----Holding up the truce sign We all need some sleep Nite:cool:

It is cold around here, but that is coming from someone who used to live in sunny San Diego, California. I thought Canadians were used to the cold:p:rolleyes:

Exactly, if your truck is uncomfortable, if the roads are rough, if you are fighting the wind all day. You will be more fatigued. I know that straight trucks have these problems in spades. A semi might be more comfortable with their air ride suspensions and air ride cabs etc. I know even in...

Are you Swimming in your flowered shorts?;):D:rolleyes::eek:

I think your reading something into her post, I went back and reread it to see if it was nasty, I didn't find it nasty, she was just stating her position. nuff said:)

I know alot of people and some family who have graduated college and cannot find a decent job, yes they can find a job, but not for what they were in school for. I feel bad for them, it's not like they haven't tried.

The getting up every two hours of course:rolleyes::cool:

Honestly, I wouldn't sleep a wink if the truck was running, because I'd worry about someone stealing it, even if I locked the doors!!! I could call Penske to start the truck, but if it is not plugged in, I would get charged, if it is plugged in, it is free

years back I got a hold of all my grandparents super 8 film reels, that they had't watched in over 30 years since the projector was broke and had them transferred over to VHS Now you'd have em transfered from VHS to DVD but you get the idea

I have a 2007 with 188K on it but this is a pre DPR truck The company I left got a 2009 Hino I believe and had to have the exhaust system replaced at around 10K, under warranty of course, I think they are still working the bugs out of the DPR system and I for one am happy I don't have to deal...

Okay, here's the question For those of you who run a straight truck and turn it off during rest times, how do you get it restarted when it is very cold out? My Hino has a plug in but finding an outlet is not always possible when I am out on the road. I know if I don't plug mine in and it gets...

And your not bouncing up an down in your seat(Well, you might be i dunno) like I do in my straight truck. My neck is sore after a day on the rough highways:eek: Driving a van sounds appealing if only for ride comfort.
