One of the other problems with staying in a campground is shore power. Our Rig Master is VERY loud and many campgrounds frown on that day and night. Another problem is right now many of us are really cutting back on our expenses and one thing that we let go was the luxury of staying at a pay...

There are a lot worse things out here to "hate" then to worry about font color and text size. If the color bothers you so bad ignore the post and go on or if the post means so much to you copy and paste so that you can read the post in large print and black font. It really is not worth...

I do not really get the honeymoon phase as with FedEx there is no sonority so you get the exact same load offers we would get. Experience will teach you the better Express Centers and also when to ask for a relocate. Anymore though freight so not where we thought it should be and Express...

Welcome to the FED!! Have you registered for the FedEx thread? If you have any questions ask away there are plenty on here more then willing to give you a helping hand. I hope you also signed up for the weekly email that comes out on Friday? That can be very helpful.

When you have to replace the fan clutch on your own dime change over to a Bendix if possible as they seem to be built a little better.

I do not think California is going to differentiate between a one truck O/O or a fleet. You are either going to be legal going into California or not. This will include your Motor, your APU, and your Reefer.

Wow that is nice. We are also looking at the 100" sleeper and direct drive transmission made by Fuller. How are you liking the disc brakes? You did not go with the rack and pinion steering? Sure sounds like a nice truck do you have any pictures?

A friend called and asked if I had looked the Excel Spreadsheet that is on CARBS website. The spreadsheet tells you pretty quick in a short period of time we will not be compliant in California. If you click on this link Fleet Calculator (Version 090403) Enable your macros you can put in what...

How fast do you run the truck? What are your thoughts on how the truck is performing for you? Do you have a lift axle? Do you have an after market sleeper on this truck? Do you have the rack and pinion steering on the truck? Do you have disc brakes on the truck? What kind of transmission...

Yes this is what we are looking at for our next truck. This one of the reasons we have been watching so close and how he is doing. Does not hurt any that he is a heck of a.nice guy.

We have been following the Cascadia and waiting for the truck to break 8 mpg while loaded pulled a trailer and it has happened! I was able to drive this truck out on the road while out at the CMC in Denver and we cannot wait to place our order. Great truck and as it gets broke in the truck...

Right hidden admin issues meaning I spelled something wrong in the title and the only way to fix it was to delete MY post and then repost with the correct spelling. I do worry about this issue as it will affect all of us even more than the speed limiter issue in Canada. California does have...

When our wheels are turning we are making money as we are not taking loads that do not work for us. When we are sitting we are most often in the truck, working on the truck or out for a walk. We know what we need per day to survive out here and after cutting as many costs as we can and...

For those of you beginning to worry about 2010 and for those of you who are not this might be some nice "light" reading for you! Subject Top Page: On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (In-Use) Regulation

It also depends on if you’re a White Glove truck or an Express Truck on how you will look at locks. As an Express Truck we need to be available for every load that we are qualified for. A T-Val truck has many more opportunities to be offered a load as they are qualified for most loads that...

I think we are always in the newbie category as we can never know it all as the rules change daily and we are constantly evolving.

I would agree right now the learning curve at a different company could be the straw that broke the camels back. If you are thinking of changing get a good mentor and you need some money put back as you are going to go a few weeks with no pay.

Dreamer I am sure will be able to reply to this better then I can but here is a stab in the dark. Administrator has the power to ban users and do anything with posts Moderator takes care of posts and deletes or moves posts as necessary Senior Member you become this after so many posts and the...
