You can get a DDEC report at any repair shop that can read your ECM.

Here is a copy of our DDEC report for October and it is hard to argue with the facts:

For those of you who like to complain about the government and feel as if there is nothing you can do I hope you will join the call today to listen. Scott will discuss how many times while driving his truck he has stopped and caught the train into Washington DC to talk with his legislatures...

Thanks for reading my blog Phil.

Scott is a great guy and he is a driver who is not just complaining he took the extra step to go to Washington DC and present his case. I hope others who like to complain will get on the call to learn why he has been going to Washington DC to represent drivers for several years.

I have this in my original post: We are getting around 600 mpg of DEF that we purchase which has been running us about 2.59 a gallon which is a cost of around .004 a mile. DEF is not much of a factor in what our fuel is costing us and it is really not a fuel cost.

Can you explain this comment? I am confused by heavier duty truck as the only thing I can think of that is heavy duty this this truck is one built to work in the mines and never get on pavement. We watched the sleeper being built and from what I saw I do not think there is a safer sleeper...

Our 2012 Cascadia has 70,330 miles on our DD13 and we are still amazed with the truck and the fuel mileage. Don Bentz makes an amazing comfortable sleeper which we are still thrilled with. We will be running a DDEC report on our truck in the next couple of days for an update on our fuel...

I am not mum on the subject. I provided the necessary information for a current contractor to get the information they may seek concerning access to the health care plan information. I also suggest that any non FCC contractor interested in this information may call an FCC recruiter; the number...

The only thing I could suggest to someone not currently leased to FedEx Custom Critical is to call a recruiter.

There will be information available in the weekly e-bulletin or you can call your CC. Your CC can sign you up for the weekly e-bulletin and can discuss access to this health information. Contractors are supplied with information on how to access the Health Care Option through a brochure in...

The appropriate place to discuss FedEx Custom Critical health care plan information access is within the FedEx Forum. Additional information is available in the FedEx Forum for FedEx contractors.

A rear WORKING light is required on the back of a CMV it says nothing about illuminating a license plate. Kind of silly the law is the law

That is the funny part of the laws is that we have to have our plate on the front but the tag light has to be working on the rear of the truck. When we had our Flying Pig the plate tag illuminated the purple pig.

Check with your state as we believed that as well a straight truck the tag goes on the back and that was not true for our state. The law was very specific when registering a truck that the plate be placed by the weight of the truck not the type of truck.

In Missouri our license plate is required to be on the front of the truck. We have been questioned about this twice and in both instances we told the officer in Missouri the plate is required to be on the front of the truck and that was the end of the conversation. Your state dictates where...

Your fuel mileage would seriously suffer much more then paying for the damage a deer would cause over time.

There is a test in place using TripPak in cab scanning that seems to be working very well not sure if or when they will roll this out to the rest of the fleet. Maybe if FedEx Custom Critical heard from more drivers they would look into this more seriously and realize it is needed.
