The particular truck that I saw was not a CR unit,just a normal C unit which of course gets offered B Loads.Truck was out of MN with a H/Wife team in it. Even it was a CR unit,best hope that no one gets ill for any extended time or an accident puts you down for any length of time. What we try to...

All those bells and whistles are nice but what happens if you have some bad luck or accidents and the company you lease to deactivates your unit. Perhaps the Special Services or white Glove Management personel decide to no longer run your unit,a few cargo claims and you are out then you are...

Jack a C unit can be any vehicle that has a minimum of a 12 foot box nd can haul 5,000 pounds. it can be a small cabover Mitsi or a Class 8 Century or Volvo. Smart C owners have a small vehicle that meets C requirements but gets bettr mileage,costs less to insure etc. You get the picture. Last...

Pure and simple.The Planet we live on goes through cycles.Look back at old photos when coal smoke hung over everywhere.Got just as hot then as it does now. Bet Mr Almost President keeps his Tn house at 68 in the summer and 75 in the winter. His daughters probably drive suv's and the Tipper cooks...

RE: best Comp 2-run sole living in Harrisburg PA?? Fedex still runs C Units, tarrifs and pay for the New England and NorthEast area are usually somewhat higher then the rest of the country due to a toll booth every 200 feet. If you deliver into NYC they pay a additional $50.00 to cover the...

This type of topic ,Drivers vs fleet owners wil be going on ad infitum. Sometimes information is either left out or embellished to give the author more credibility as too their claim. I have heard horror stories fromm both sides. Drivers quiting in the middle of no where,owners demanding more...

At one time in my life I worked for the GE of Europe ,Siemens. One time I was a passenger in a BMW on the autobahn doing about 140 mph. I don't see how any one could possibly see a obscene finger action at that speed. The driver and some of the other guys thought 140 was just cruising. But when...

Several years back GEO used to set one up on Sunday nights. Worked out OK,how about doing it again George.

You sound like a hard working driver working for a guy who does not appreciate you and your efforts. There are lots of owners looking for drivers with good work ethics,if I was you I would be out of there.

I have been in the habit of buying Power Service additives in Walmarts. The price of a quart was generally about $5.40. Over the last month I noticed that in the automotive section of various Walmarts there is now an empty space where Power Service was sold. I have seen this in about 10-12...

Sounds high to me.I replaced shocks on a FL70 which weighs somewhat more than your B van for a lot less. Do I have a lifetime warranty? Don't know,what is the lifetime of a shock absorber?.

Is it legal to change the speedometer and do you have to set the odometer to the miles that are actually on the truck?

Very well said,but Expediting is a different ball game. Expediters and Expediting Companies do not have for the most part dedicated trips that allow for scheduled time home. Expediting involves emergency freight shipments,someone once said we are the ambulance of the freight industry. Everyone...

You should have your Bill of Lading,your logbook, your registration and insurance plus if you are a D or E unit your State IRP apportioned registration. Also of course your D license and MedicaL Card. As far as landing gear goes,I generally check the dock personel to see if they are going to...
