You are probably right about the vans Tony if this new nonsense goes through. Rest assured, that ruling will be changed when solo truck drivers, who represent the vast majority of all truck drivers, walk off their jobs because they can no longer make a living at this and there will not be...

I guess you have answered my wonders about why the cheap Isuzus and Mitsubishis are so popular with EGL drivers if they can only run them 5 years there. No sense in getting into much of anything over $40-50K if that is the case. -Weave-

Rich, contact Nick Bjorklund, the creator of Driver's Daily Log. www.driversdailylog.com This guy is a log guru who makes that program, and he is well aware of all the new rule changes. His e-mail is on the site. -Weave-

Exactly what I was thinking- it would only cost a few grand to lengthen the frame rails and move the rear axle back a little. Gotta have something better than one of those Isuzus most of them EGL guys run! -Weave-

I don't have my handy-dandy Freightliner maintenance schedule with me at the moment, but I will check it tomorrow and see when and if it calls for a steering fluid change. I'm going to guess it's not too often, as there really is no source for fluid contamination in a steering system. One of...

I was just kidding around about the MPG thing George. My friend's Freightliner Century with C10 and autoshift does about the same MPG. I just can't believe you would ever want to sell that Western Star with all the high praises you have been giving it on the forums. I have done a lot of loads...

Does this product have an SAE grade or an API service number? If manufactured for the military, it will. Is it a lubricant, fuel, or detergent, and if so, what are the grades? The numbers should give it away. -Weave- OK, I've been a bit obnoxious regarding this stuff. As it is YOUR truck you...

It's not getting high enough MPG:7 -Weave-

Nothing wrong with the Powerstroke, other than it likes to eat up automatics alive, esp Ford AOD's. The dealer and shop are correct. GM's automatics are better than Ford's, unfortunately the same can't be said for GM's diesel engine offerings compared to the Powerstroke. Automatic...

That was sweet:) This forum needs more good poets! -Weave-

Didn't make it either, beautiful weather in the Buff, and had motorcycle out all day and evening:7 -Weave-

I just don't think they would consider 55 miles of deadheading a short distance. That ruling is for if you are using the truck, empty, to go from your terminal or possibly a layover spot a few miles to Mickey D's or a motel. ALWAYS, ALWAYS :o make sure your log is legal when running on the...

Don't laugh too hard..:7 I know a guy in town who spent close to $400 for one of those back pain magnets. Swears it works of course, as I laugh at the fool and his money. I think they call it the psychosomatic effect- if you think it works, than it does :D -Weave-

I like what Joker said, automatic trannies are not the toughest things in the world, and don't stand up to too much abuse. With any cargo van running close to its max GVW (or over it) most of the time, I would follow the service guidleines in the owners manual for a "severe service" vehicle...

Yeah, funny.. they tell you the fluid lasts forever, then you have problems. Most of which are related to..well.. dirty fluid. I am involved in a lot of great magic juice debates now, involving synthetic oil and fuel addatives. Magic is just an illusion. David Copperfield did not saw that...

This is one of those games I can't play because I am affiliated with the "radio station" :-( -Weave- ...the guy who loves diesel power...

I have an EO bumper sticker for anyone who stops to chat with me at a truckstop or elsewhere. I am All-State truck #D188, a Freightliner Columbia 24 footer. New pix to follow. There are no questions that are stupid or silly, and we try to answer them all the best we can, our own time...

OK, I'm game for Sun, should be on around 20:00 EST. Molson Canadians are on me! -Weave-

RE: finding an expedite job while living in south Contact Tim or Spencer from All-State at 1-877-PICKUP-5. They also have website www.all-stateexpress.com that has more information. You'll have to dig up info for Nations on your own as they are not a proud EO sponsor. -Weave-
