Frank, Would your logbook also verify where you did your laundry or anything you did not get a receipt for?

I am sorry to hear that your health is keeping you from being out here on the road. I am sure you miss it a lot.

In the past 5 years we have only wished for a bigger box a couple times. Our dry box is almost 24' so we have plenty of room for our equipment and freight at this time. In the future it seems as if more room makes sense. Each person or team needs to figure out a balance point on how long do...

I know but this was internet directions for sure. Did try the Zip and still wrong. The base had a portion of this street name on the base and the GPS could not find it. Normally when this happens I get online and look for the address. It is to expensive to get online while in Canada. I did...

We have also noticed the poor locals. We were just in Ontario CA and our local directions were to a very small neighborhood on the lake instead of the base we needed to be at. Our GPS could not find the address either so we were really stuck. The dispatcher wanted us to do a conference call...

Here goes: WE ARE TIRED! We have been running back to back loads and it feels great! We are going home next month for a few days! Our truck is running really well with the new injectors Still losing weight and enjoying my walks Starting to see the leaves turn color up north and cooler...

When at Detroit Diesel we saw the chart of when the EU standards would be the same as our standards. I was also surprised about the standards.

We also missed the call due to being in Canada. That is interesting they let the recruiting part be heard.

I asked Henry Albert about this: The only way you get extra heat is if you are using advanced EGR the SCR does not cause a heating problem. The SCR actually is easier on the engine as it treats the emissions after the combustion process instead of during. This allows the engines to run much...

You are right Moose it is that! Still it is the way of the future and we better learn what we can.

We have 4515 hours on our Rig Master and the darn thing still runs like a champ. We have replaced the starter relay, glow plug relay, the engine speed sensor in the 5 years we have had it. Bob does maintain the Rig Master just as well as he does our truck. We do not like a few things about...

2010 engine test fleets weigh in This is a really good article on the 2010 engines that fleets have been testing.

If you have a cell phone and you use it the records are right there of where you are and what you are doing. You have a ticket for when you get on the toll road and when you get off the toll road that is time stamped. The times are all ready recorded on any receipt you have in the truck from...

FedEx Custom Critical has a partial toll reimbursement program if you are routed on toll roads.

Indiana does except EZ Pass but Ohio does not at this time. Ohio is moving that way though.

I learned to drive in Tucson AZ and Bob learned to drive in rural Kansas and it drives me nuts on how he handles stop lights. He very seldom pulls out into the intersection to make a left hand turn and he does not time lights well to come to a stop. I also believe it has a lot to do with how...

I wish both of you good luck! We also waited till the kids were out of the house and then we took off and have never looked back. We are having more fun now then we ever have and really enjoy what we are doing. When we figured out this is what we wanted to get into we like you started getting...

It is just splitting hairs and no matter who removed the post there would have been an uproar. It needed to be removed and it was removed. The post was posted with good intent and it was just posted at the wrong time.

A new Forum!!! If you have any suggestions or places you have visited with your truck or your van please give details for the new forum. The Daytrippers Guide is located with the Layover Lounge. I have moved a few of the posts I remembered that have good directions on how to get into and...
