    3126E CAT Starving for Fuel

    That fuel pressure does sound low. As for filters, one is on the side of the engine and the other should be along the frame on the drivers side of the engine. It may have a cover or glass bowl if it is a aftermarket Raycor. Should be another on there somewhere. If unable to locate, take the...

    3126E CAT Starving for Fuel

    That engine should have three filters. Two for fuel and one for oil. Some marine engines have a third fuel filter for algae removal. That engine has two speed sensors but should run even with one down. Usually will throw a check engine light. Do you have a check engine light on? If not, you...

    Ron Paul: Befriend Iran.....

    Ron Paul as a third party candidate would only help Obama keep his job.

    Truck shaking?

    Could be a tire or just a alignment issue. If the whole truck shakes, could be that the back end is out of alignment. If it is just the steering wheel, it is the front end. If all else fails, go to a dealer that has a vis-check machine. They put probes all over the truck and run it. It picks...

    The Cain Mutiny

    Who knows if Cain is guilty or not. But one thing for sure, the minute you have Gloria Allred in the picture, it is pretty much a carnival. Last year she even had that Mexican maid deported while she was trying to throw Meg Whitman under the bus. She is kinda the cross between a publicity...

    Humorous real ad from e/o

    Might just be one of those Occupy Wall Streeters looking for a gig. :D

    Bolt

    I will make it simple. Bolt is the only carrier I have heard of that is charging this. This isn't cargo insurance. Cargo insurance is seperate and most, but not all carriers cover this as well.

    Bolt

    Yes. It is paid for by the carrier, but does have limitations.

    Bolt

    Makes sense to me.

    Bolt

    Isn't that what they are doing if they are charging these fees even though they can't find a load in a week? Their profit center appears to be from others sources other than freight.

    Job Search

    I really can't volunteer any information on Try Hours other than what you can read here. My advice would be to research ALL potential carriers regardless of who they are. There are carriers that will hire you as a solo while your wife gets her CDL. If you are sold on Try Hours, have their...

    Can't have those type of charges on tractors as they will go somewhere else. Most tractor folks aren't going to fall for that type of goofiness. I don't quite follow the concept of paying for cargo insurance if you are hauling THEIR freight. Same concept with regards to random drug testing...

    Bolt

    Ok....why would you pay 5 dollars liability per week for a qual-comm that you are already paying 35 per week? Confused. Don't really get the $5.00 paperwork fee either if the carrier doesn't supply a run for that week. They should at least give a coupon for a $5.00 foot-long Subway. :p

    Bolt

    I guess I will ask the stupid questions. What is a "liability limiter program"? And why would a driver cover this at $20.00 a month? Never heard of this from other carriers. 35 a week for OC insurance per person is pretty high as well. And lastly. Why would a driver pay the carrier to do...

    Changing Times in Expediting.

    I am amazed at how high the weight has been set on the Sprinters that I see available from different carriers. Really is a safety issue as many of these folks have limited experience and have no clue of the safety or the maintenance issues associated with running over all the time. I would...
