    Promaster engine noise 3.6

    Mines in for transmission problems. I have had two flywheels put in it. Now there's a growling coming from the transmission. They said they will have to tear it down too find the source. I'm pushing for a new trans. See what happens.

    Square One Transport

    I called too lease on my truck the guy said they hold back 2 weeks on the settlements. They don't do advances on the runs at all. Makes me nervous when they hold money and don't give advances on runs. Don't take long and they could owe a lot of money. I like what I hear about them just wondering...

    Medical card 2nd opinions

    I never falsified any documents to keep my license. My family doctor did my DOT in March of 2014. All she needed was the paper work to fill out. I downloaded and printed them out. I know the law is changing on that. The laws are not the same in all states either. I can drive for municipality, I...

    Medical card 2nd opinions

    I kept my class A in NY for 19 years without a DOT. It was only when I signed on with FEDEX that I had to get a new DOT. I didn't drive commercial vehicle during that time period but I kept my license. I've had my class A for 39 years in NY.

    flatter the flat rate

    The only ones putting "b" units on are the ones that pay even less than fedex. Landstar, load one are the best alternative and they are on hold until late spring early summer. Most of the other companies I've talked to are worse IMO. Looking for a local job myself. I'll be putting my new...

    QUALS WG & B & G Complete & TVAL Whats UP??

    They claim that they (fedex) dispatch 20% of the B unit loads to outside carriers. I would assume that they do the same with other units. I talked in depth with my resource coordinator about this. It's frustrating to say the least I understand the need but not when your own truck is available...

    What size Power Invertor do you need to run a 9200 BTU ac and Electric Heater?

    Anyone ever try these heaters? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271670988759 they make a gas unit as well. Talked to one guy bought and installed himself loves it. Couple more opinions never hurt.

    QUALS WG & B & G Complete & TVAL Whats UP??

    Trip leasing way to many loads. Really gets you heated up when they tell you a load was dispatched to another truck and that truck is an outside carrier. Happened again last week the guy sitting right there from another company gets the load I excepted.

    Straps

    Depends I guess on how you run your etrack. Mine is 4' apart I strap from side to side with a shoring beam or load bar as a bulk head. If you run etrack 2' apart you would have to strap front to rear I suppose. I'm to old and fat to crawl over a 5 high pallet to get my strap and pull it over the...

    Straps

    Etrack is most definitely a must. I put two 8' on the floor 4' apart. One on each wall 18-36" off the floor. You'll be able to tie down anything. Most any trailer repair/sales will have everything you need. Some big truck dealerships will have them as well like Kenworth, international ect. Truck...

    Straps

    Etrack straps they will hook into your etrack. Get the ratchet type I would would get at least 4 cause you just never know. Get yourself a load bar that goes in the etrack as well you'll have to cut it down easy enough to do and one or two ratcheting type load bars I have one of each never...
