We have been up north and fall is in the air and as much as I hate to do it I ordered our slush busters. Hard to believe once again it is time to be thinking of the windshield icing over but we will be prepared: Here is the site if you are new to slush busters or if you are ready to order...

We spent a couple days a CAT shop the beginning of this week having our injector cups and o-rings replaced. We were in Clearfield PA and right across the street was a rails to trails hike that was 10.5 miles long. The weather was perfect and the trail is great for biking and walking. I...

Thanks Greg we will look at the scale option once again as it just makes sense for us to have this on board when running a pusher or tag axle.

I think what was meant is you need to read and read and read in this forum not repost in this forum! As you read through you will notice that there is not much encouragement to drive a van much less as a team that is not related. Talk to recruiters at the different companies and take lots and...

When Bob looked at the Air Weigh you could not use it on a single axle and the starting weight was 20,000lbs. The system is pretty inexpensive and the ability to know your weight when loaded I think would pay for itself in a short period of time.

We checked on the on-board air weigh scales and we are not able to use this product. The starting weight will no go low enough at the time we looked at the product. I would imagine if enough people asked Air-Weigh they might consider a product for straight trucks.

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.
