First of all, Yes, it's a "feel thing" when it comes to knowing when you are losing traction. Knowing how your truck handles in good weather is key to knowing how to know when it does not feel right. You are smart for asking about this, that puts you ahead of the game. In my experience, losing...

SNOWFLAKE? ... Really? I came on here to provide information to those who were unable to find what they were looking for elsewhere, and after taking the time to share my Personal Experience and make myself available to answer questions... even going so far as providing my personal contact info...

I tried sharing my personal experience with HWE, even posted a Very long story with the details. I also posted my personal phone number and was contacted by a few people with questions and I filled them in, hoping to save them from a bad experience. I have not been here for enough time to be...

Want to read about how bad it can get? See the posts under Money Pit. Should have called it "Owner Operator Hell". Things are better now, even though I just spent 3 Grand on a new clutch. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

Hi guys. Sorry to hear that you were turned down by Panther. Frankly, they can be kind of picky and anal, but in a weird and random way sometimes. I started with them and some of the people I saw and talked to at orientation really made me wonder what the recruiting process was looking for...

99% chance, but don't Panic, it's only winter... Better check with the talking heads on the weather channel, they enjoy getting us all in a tizzy for nothing... Put a skirt and some high heels on a meteorological news person and there you have it. Don't forget to check under the hood, I'll bet...

If they didn't hype it up, they couldn't say " you heard it here first folks, exclusively on the what not channel.." After a major weather event, that actually happened... It's all about ratings and how much they can charge the advertising people. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

Here's what I do. When I get close, I Google map the address, bring up the satellite image and have a look around. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

I'm with you on both points. My cat is my kid/companion so she stays in the truck, it's home to her. I can leave the door open with no worries, no matter where I happen to be, or how noisy. I'm lucky that way, a devoted cat man. I had to stay at a hotel during truck repairs and if it was an...

That's Awesome, glad to hear it. Be safe out there. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

Josh, that sucks man. Any help yet? The clean idle thing can be a pain. I used to drive a 2015 Cascadia with the DD 15 and a 10 speed. The idle time out could be overcome with the cruise, it took some fiddling around, but you could do it. Is it that the APU is not making enough heat for you, or...

One problem, or question. . How do we know what a load pays if we,ate leased to a company that pays a flat rate and keeps all the money above and beyond what they share with us owner operators, while still charging us for every possible penny in fees and not helping with the expense we incurred...

I'm curious, what are you guys making as a team working for a FedEx owner? I am an owner operator trying to find a partner that wants to do this, but obviously the pay has to justify a Life Change. Is this a good situation for a team or couple? What can we expect income wise if we own the...

You are very welcome. I hope sharing my personal experience was helpful. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

Been there, done that so I feel your pain. This kind of stuff does happen and it's frustrating and maddening when it does. Hopefully it will not be a regular occourance. I think they meant detention pay. My company calls it layover pay. That's what is sometimes paid when there is a delay of...

I have a 3,500 watt invertor and the Keurig 45 , it does just fine. I would guess a minimum would be 2,500 Watt to be on the safe side. There is always a bit of voltage drop using an invertor. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app
