Went by the ontario Ca T/A monday and this morning and there has been at least 15 or more fedex straight trucks parked out front all week,are you guys having problems getting loaded or just enjoying the southern california weather.

Are carriers really the blame for lower freight rates or is it the owner operators or the drivers for owner operators.I would figure if a owner of a truck would not settle on a lower rate that he can not run his truck under that rate would "nt be there.This is something that is discussed all...

Is this a new part of custom critical, are just a play with wording.I got a e-mail and a letter from my old recruiter asking if i would be interested in returning back and he mention a high quality fleet and was wondering if this is anything special.So far i'm not that interested unless there...

I just had all my injectors replaced and DPF cleaned out with only 105000 miles and a little less than two years.Has anyone else had this problem so soon in this engines life or can i expect to have the same problem in a couple of years.If you have had this problem what did they say caused the...

A mech. told me the other day that engines with dpf,when changing the fuel filter should not have the fuel filter filled with diesel and then installed,it should be installed empty and then primed using secondary filter priming valve.He told me that when a place like speedco or T/A change there...

Hey guys i left fedex last year due to the falling rates to many 1.20 to 1.30 load offers and as a solo i could not run my straight truck to often at that rate. It was something that i hated to do because i really liked being leased to custom critical for the 4 years.Can you all tell me if they...

saw my first casualty of the DPF,in this case from what the mech. told me is the person did not heed to the warning signs, now he has to have the turbo,DPF,ejectors, all replaced because the filter became clogged with the leftover ash in the tank which caused the turbo to become clogged which...

i have a straight truck that has a empty weight of 19000 lbs and a six speed overdrive with a cummins ISC 300 hp and the milage is only about 8.9 miles per gallon running 65 mph on average over the past year does that sound about normal for this engine.

Are most of you teams running loads were the mileage is only about 700 to 750 and you have about that amount time to get it there(24 to 36 hours),the reason that i ask is i know other operators at other companies that are giving loads like this to solo operators and giving them enough time to...

Do you guys think this going to be the norm. are just a passing fad due to the economy.

for a straight truck, for the past couple of months i having been getting a flood of this type freight, have missed something or is this going to be norm for expedited freight.And if you solo operators or running it how do you make a living with it.

I was told today by a dealer of freightliners m108 that the mbe 900 is not available in the 2009 it has been replaced with the ISC cummins.Has anyone used this engine before, and if so what problems did you have if any.
