It depends on the state issuing the IRP plate. I drove a company owned Ford E-350 with an IRP plate on the front and a license plate sized sign on the rear stating IRP Power Unit, plate on front. The following is from the Michigan Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Quarterly: Michigan is a...

Thanks WS! I wasn't losing any sleep trying to decipher the ccc but I was curious. The Officer Krupke song has been stuck in my head so last night's extra hour of sleep helped. Gee officer Krupke, Krup you.

This is the third or forth time you have used the term ccc. At the risk of sounding ignorant, which has never stopped me from posting before, what does ccc stand for?

If you go to a transmission specialist and say you think there is something wrong with your transmission, you are going to get a new transmission. Even if the problem was a bad U-joint, you will get a new transmission and the U-joint will get replaced for free.

Greetings Mr. Wilson. You are wise to discount most of the advice you get here on E.O. Too many on here look at your situation through the eyes of a driver or single unit O/O (owner/operator). I would even write off the advice of Davekc. He's in this business for the long haul so to speak by...

If you run for 4 companies why are you bidding on loads at 1:00 a.m.?

Related to a direct problem with the transmission?

I hope you are not going to a transmission shop or dealership.

My first van was on with Con-Way and had fixed windows in the swing side doors and rear doors. All windows were cover with limo tint and all had removable 1" insulation board. My current van with Panther has no windows on the side door, but does have swing out windows on the rear doors...

Johnf, if your CHECK ENGINE light came on that would indicate a problem related to the emission control system. It could be something as simple as an oxygen sensor or a loose gas cap. If the On-Board Diagnostic system threw a fault code, what was it? A poor performing engine could cause...

Good luck explaining that one to Officer Krupke.

West side story? "Most of the western state runs required a lift gate or reefer." Tony and Maria lived on the westside and never had a lift gate or reefer and look how screwed up their lives became. Truly a sad story.

Whenever I drive west I gain valuable time. At first it is only seconds, then minutes and eventually hours. I can gain 3 precious hours driving from Ohio to California. Once I drove across the International Date Line and gained a whole day. I was near midnight on a Sunday when I crossed...

driving is a privilege, not a right. The following is from page 5 of the Michigan Driver's Manual: Introduction What Every Driver Must Know contains information about operating a motor vehicle safely on Michigan roads. Although this publication includes information about many Michigan...
