OK..... I am confused. I keep hearing that the investment of equipment is or is not worth it. Outside the obvious; pallet jack, blankets and straps, can someone please explain what really needs to be on the truck to qualify for FedEx WG or P2 Special Services? Thanks

I worked at Pfizer in R&D and one thing I know that is critical with some of the shipments of pharmaceuticals and chemicals was humidity. Is humidity recorded too? As a side note, I think it is funny talking about the amount of effort in shipping pharmaceutical products with these trucks but...

I appreciate this info a lot, but I am going to sound sort of naïve about the Qualcomm and need to ask if there is any more tips and tricks on how to use it to our advantage? Thanks in advance,

Opps I forgot about the Spinner2 system. I have heard good things about it, but I have yet to see one. Do you use it in place of your primary filter? The Refinery type filter system I mentioned also uses the spinning technology, but has a heater to heat the oil. I have seen them and seen them...

So to add to my question, how many use a bypass filter system on their 3126?

I am not a 3126 owner, but anything to help the engine keep clean internally is a good thing. Just to throw in my opinion here is my experience I have used different bypass filter systems for my diesel engine vehicles and there are a few differences in the manufacture of the filter system...

I am in somewhat the same situation. I know that a lot of people will complain about this, but I have driven a lot of trucks in the past and feel confident that I won't be a hazard out on the road. The first thing is make sure that you have a hazmat endorsment and airbrake endorsment tests...

Neverhome247 I am about to go through a frame stretching experience and wonder what kind of truck did you have? Did you have any problems with the frame that needed to be repaired? Even though I have a couple shops in mind, it might be better (and cheaper in the long run) to buy the frame...

>There is a fix for the modual failure. When it fails extend >the wires and mount it in a place where it has air floor to >cool it. I did that to mine and NEVER had a problem. Thanks for the confirmation. I really didn't know if I should go ahead and move the PCM or not. Now I will. I...

Maybe I missunderstood an article in one of the news papers here in Michigan a while ago, but I read that any station that sells fuel can't charge more than what is posted on the sign, period. Which includes any charges added on like credit card charges or the locally famous exact change charge.

Thanks for the replies. Murkerfan If you got 16, I should expect better. Crazynuff Yep there are problems with the 6.5, never owned a drive by wire vehicle so I really don’t know what to expect. I know that the PCM unit on the pump fails because of heat build up, but other than that I...

OK I am looking for info from owners of GMC/Chevrolet 3500 CVs with 6.5 TD. I have owned 6.5s and 6.2 in the past, all non turbo and all in ‘burbs. Great mileage and dependability, but they were not drive by wire engines. So I would like to know what mileage do you get with your 6.5 TD CV...

Who wouldn’t want to save 25% on fuel, but.... I don’t want anyone to be taken for a ride here (no pun intended) I have to say something, even if the moderators disagree with me and delete my post. --->> My personal and professional opinion is that it is wiser to keep your money in your...

Enforcer I just returned from the bank about a loan for a truck conversion and they valued the truck for the loan for me. A good bank that specializes in any commercial loans should be able to help you but before you bring them a list of vehicles to value, ask them first if you can set up an...

Here is another piece of advice if you are working with fiberglass, I don't know if you have had experience with fiberglass, so I will start with the most common thing, safety. Please don't be insulted if this is a rehash of your knowledge. First wear gloves. Make sure that you also use a...

In a discussion with a friend today, he asked a question about experience as a requirement for any expediting company. I could not answer his question, so I am posting it here to find an answer. If someone has driving experience as a flower delivery driver, auto parts driver or courier or any...

Know how you feel I looked into hotshot driving because I have a Dodge Ram sitting doing nothing and everyone said I should use the truck to at least pay the bills. Soem of the hotshot dispatchers and company owners I talked to said I have to have X amount of experience for them to give me any...

Ok the one thing I hate is people with cells phones and talking to their kids as they drive. Today made me hate them more. Hate may be a strong word, but I can’t find another. Today I was driving my dad’s van going around looking at trucks. Of course we come up to the famous I-94...

Because I have a cargo van, I don’t know much about some of these APUs so I have a few dumb questions, What usually goes wrong with them? I mean is there something that common, like the controller board (or what ever they call it)? I assume (I know assumptions are dangerous) that a number of...
