    Adding super cold fuel to my tank.. oops!

    Well when my truck went down due to Algae, Water and Debris it only had around 5k on it and before I started running it I pulled the drain plugs on both tanks and drained about 2 gallons from both tanks to remove any H2o that built up from condensation while sitting in storage.

    My Fuel didn't gell....the filters froze up due to water and the rock screen was full of debris.

    Adding super cold fuel to my tank.. oops!

    If the truck that fueled just before you, did it when the tanker was filling the tanks...you could get a real bad mixture of algae, water and debris delivered to your tanks just by what was remaining in the lines to the pump you're using. It happened to me after fueling at the Flying J in Fargo...

    CARB may loosen rules

    I think that during my 9.5 years at Landstar I've only had one truck stop 120 day inspection and that was at the Petro in El Paso, Tx., where they said there was an air leak coming from the passenger side front wheel area and was told to pull around back....on the way to the Back I stopped and...

    If you pay for a prescription,

    Three hours after having a script filled I found out about GoodRx.com I would have saved $30.00 on the script that cost me $43.80 I like the fact you can see what every pharmacy charges in a given area and that you can print up their coupons. My brother-in-law purchased a inhaler for $10.00...

    Extended Automotive Warranties

    Bought a Bumper to bumper Maint. warranty on our new Ford Flex which is from Ford themselves which covers oil changes, tire rotations and just about everything else til 2019 but I think there's mileage limitations....we're never home much so I'm not worried about the mileage.

    Hazmat Testing info

    Caution! if taking your Hazmat test in Michigan. I received two wrong answers on questions on the Hazardous Materials table sequence. My carrier insist that their training info which is revised as of 1-1-2013 is correct and is quoted from the federal regulations...

    Hazmat Testing info

    For those that are about to test for Hazmat in the State of Michigan BEWARE! Michigan hasn't updated the Hazardous Materials list (according to my carrier) as of 1-1-2013 and it cost me to get two wrong answers, still passed the test but I thought I'd pass the info along. Michigan=...

    Possibly some commonsense?

    Teams shouldn't even have to log in my opinion or we should have the split sleeper berth provision back. Going down the road worrying about all the things that concern Drivers (no need for the list) is enough already...these rules distract me more than any thing else put together....enough is...

    How Are They Going to Enforce the 30 Minute Break?

    Well first of all we have a truck dog that'll make us stop at least once every 8 hours so no problem there....everyone states that we have to log off duty for our break...ok!...but my co-driver is being shown as in the sleeper and both of us have to log as off duty at the same time...so does my...

    Changing lanes, BEWARE.

    I know that some states have signage stating the left lane is for passing but this is all together different because you may be passing a car or two but you happen to notice Mario coming up on you at a high rate of speed so you try and get over to get out of his way but you may find yourself...

    Changing lanes, BEWARE.

    Going through Austin, Tx. will always find me in the middle lane...well before I get to Austin and well afterwards too. In Landline I saw Fl. is trying to pass a law that even though you're doing the speed limit in the fast lane you must move over for someone that's speeding and about to over...

    What is the Perfect Load?

    100 mile deadhead for some air freight that delivered 22 miles from the airport...pay to the truck was $ 940.00 and I was home by midnight and slept in my own bed. I told my wife I wish this could be a dedicated run each day...ahhh wishful thinking.

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    I guess I stand corrected about the fire but it was extremely polluted at one time.

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    States can make amendments to the federal DOT regulations but can not delete any Federal regulations....such as La. issuing fines for having the lift axle controls within reach of the operator...we were busted twice and it didn't matter that the truck was purchased this way. I use to love...

    Get that Fuel Ticket - TA/Petro

    I meant to check and see if I had been double dipped but forgot....thanks for reminding me!....no double dipping this time. I wouldn't think the payment method would matter as long as you loyalty card was swiped when requested.

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    I replaced the trucks engine last year with a brand new crate motor with the same emission standards as my 2003 engine...the engine was new old stock and came complete with turbo, air compressor, ECM, everything except for the fan and pulleys and starter...paid $ 8500.00 and received $ 1k for...
