    Load Board, competition will be fierce

    I agree, I have been busy from day one. I've had very little trouble finding a load. Some bugs to work out but all and all I like it. They said updates will take place this Monday (29th) It's having a hard time keeping track of available hours. Was told the program is tracking B units same way...

    CDL Medical Experience December 2015

    IF a medical examiner did request more information from my physician I certainly would not deny it. And I say IF. I've read the regulations on the whats required page after page. If the acting physician feels for some reason that they need more info than so be it. However it is not a standard...

    CDL Medical Experience December 2015

    My family doctor did my test prior to this one. Had I been thinking I would have never checked the box for high blood pressure. My family doctor did because she treats it. However my doctor can no longer do it. I was never asked or signed a form to release my medical records. Next year that box...

    CDL Medical Experience December 2015

    I just did mine and have to have a sleep test done. There's 5 things they test you for if you fit into any 3 you have to have the test. As I remember they are: weight, height, age, blood pressure one more I can't remember. I asked if she would be taking my neck measurement she said no they ruled...

    Going from B unit into straight?

    Thanks for the reply Cheri, I drove big truck for almost 18 years. I stopped driving big truck almost 20 years ago. Was an owner operator before fuel charges came in lol. (Dated) When I owned my second truck fuel went over a $1.40 a gallon and we got a fuel surcharge added on. The first truck I...

    Going from B unit into straight?

Is it just jumping from the pan into the fire? Same thing only different? Good move? not a good move? Thoughts? Ive talked with some straights on...

    Outside brokers

    I'm not sure if it was Dicks or not. I said "most likely" Fedex will and does pay more to an outside broker to deliver loads. Not always but they will. As told to me by my then contract co-ordinator. She put it to me this way. 10-12 years ago Fedex was having trouble keeping up with loads. They...

    Cargo Van Van Purchase

    I added about 550 +- I think it's around 6000 lbs now if I remember right. It's looks more than it is. 2 sheets plywood 3 2x4's, thin wall tubing, cabinets and micro wave. The walls floor and ceiling I would have anyway. I contracted @ 2500 so I'm good with weight. If I was to change companies...

    Cargo Van Van Purchase

    I made a 2x2 steel frame the size of the bed. Boxed it in with plywood and added the bulkhead wall. The metal frame has garage door rollers welded on it. the rollers run in a track on the floor made from snowmobile hyfax runners. The whole thing locks down from the backside into the E-track on...

    Cargo Van Van Purchase

    Did mine with a bulk head. The company I'm with only requires 8'6" of floor space. The bed and bulk head roll forward when I need the whole floor. Micro wave, TV, DVD, and Wii all move with the bed. It's a standard mattress I had cut down at the manufacture for $50,00. I really like the genset...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    Picked mine up today, 3 weeks down time. They cannot tell me WHY it's breaking flexplates. They replaced the transmission pump and housing, torque converter, flexplate and all the bolts holding everything together. The vibration and noise I had in the new transmission is gone. Talking with the...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    I've had 2 break. I rotate the spare tire or did. I could only use the thing 2 or 3 times and it wouldn't go back up all the way. Actually the first one broke on the dealer. They couldn't get the tire down. I'm having the same problem getting call backs. I called 4 times leaving messages...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    From what I was told by a machine shop that repairs these heads. One head (R-L?) from front wheel drive and rear wheel drive are different because of a mount. So I looked up the part numbers seems the heads are all the same. The block has the same part# on all applications. Source...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    Keep your fingers crossed lol. This is the first lemon I have ever owned. It's mind blowing to say the least. What bothers me the most is they won't try and figure "why". They just repair it and hand it back.
