We just wanted to pass along some important information. We found out the hard way there isn't much out there as far as medical/dental help away from home unless you go to a hospital emergency room.$$$ I got a toothache on Sat. and thought I could hold out until Mon. to try to find a...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. As I stated I'm not afraid to hire an Attorney just finding one with knowledge in this area. As always this is the best area to get suggestions on how to start. Thanks Again. Randy & Patty Bigdog Enterprise FedEx C.C.

LDB - Thanks for the help - did a search didn't come up with much. Do you remember which forum? I'm not afraid of an attorney but would like one that has experience with trucking. Our home base is in Michigan. Thanks again.

I am adding a driver to my truck and I need a contract, as simple as it can be, no hidden language. Is there a legal firm that anyone know's about that writes these for independant drivers. Is there a boiler plate available somewhere. Any suggestions on what should be included sometimes even...

Wondering if anyone knows of a place or places to shop for a new mattress. I know it's an odd size would have to be made to fit. Thanks ahead of time for any info. Also a big "HI" and "Thanks Again" to Team Caffee for helping us. Bob & Linda hope to run into you again soon. It was nice to...

Dynamite - Thanks for the info, glad to hear good things. This is a truck we are purchasing. Also this is on a M2-112, have been assured by dealer (for what that's worth) that this is a Class 8 Truck. Any imput? Thanks - Bigdog / Randy

Looking for any suggestions for MPG plus performance for following setup : 450 HP, Mercedes w/10SPD ultra shift, D-unit What rear end ratio would be best for MPG and performance? Thanks, BigDog / Randy

Wow! This subject could go on and on. I read that the Trucking Industry was the most Govt. regulated Industry next to the Nuclear Industry? What's up with that? It's always the trucker's fault -I think not. Are we the only ones logging up miles with our job? What about salemen (after a...

Loose money to try (no sure thing) to win $10,000.00. If you would "JUST SAY NO TO CHEEP FREIGHT" we'd all win. More than likley you would come out futher ahead if you ran that 80% with decent paying freight and not beat yourself up along with your truck trying to be the select few who may...

Waiting Inpatiently to hear about the EXPO ! Missed it as we were stuck in Flordia - AGAIN. Took a couple in state loads and finally had to DH out. We were really looking foward to putting some faces with all of you that have helped us through EO. Be nice to hear about how things went...

Flordia likes to receive freight but must want you to get out as soon as you deliver. Very few Trk. STPS. Here. Does anyone know of a decent one in Miami area? We have been to two really bad ones. The one we are at now has chickens and diseased cats running around. Driver we talked to last...

Thanks Glen for your imput. We like to think of ourselves as husslers and stay out a couple months at a time, this is part of the reason for a new truck. Thank you Dave for your response we haven't read it yet but will asap. Big Dog

We know this question is old but would really like a response from someone who is currently running a T-val reefer. We are presently running WG drybox but have a T-val on order. It is a big additional expense for a reefer unit which is ok if it will pay for it's self and create a better bottom...

Thought I would let you all know that it went ok.Not great but ok.I was deadheaded about 200 miles to pick up (I don't think they could find anyone very eagerto do it)the run was just under 200 then they requested 200 more dh to lay over .So that pretty much sucked the money out of it.Dispatch...

I would like to thank everyone at EO for all the help and advise.I finally got my truck and made it to orientation for fedcc.Got my first load ,the two things that had me the most nervous combined on my first load ,hazmat and canada.WISH ME LUCK! BIGDOG

Glen thanks for your tme and response.Yes I'm tring to run this as a D unit ,I have checked the door sticker and called pete with vin# to verify what I too thought was low rating .Unfortunatly it is a 10000# front and I wieght 19000# empty. Fedex needs 13000# load .Math not in my favor!Hate to...

Has anyone out there ever had to have a front axle changed to increase gvwr.Unfotunatly my pete 330 was built with 10000# rating on front axle.Talking to pete they say to change front axle ,drum & brakes-$$?,or would it be cheaper to put on pusher and load wieght more to rear.Any information...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what company has best signal and or plan for service across the country. thanks-BIG DOG-(randy)

Thanks McBride for the vote of cnfedense I to know of a few, some with fed ex . I am not ruling out a pusher but would hate to be discounted on loads or over looked for those over 5000lbs .As I sayed this truck has been in ther system as a d unit for 3 years. Thanks Randy
