    Dac report

    This truck does not have any of that "fancy stuff". I think I would rather be fishing right now.

    Dac report

    Yeah, I know what bad bearings sound like. This all happened while I was rolling, so there was no chance to hear things go bad. Everything was hunky dory when we left the shipper at 1030. No fluid on the wheels etc. OH well, "stuff happens". By the way, God may have given me two good ears but...

    Yeah, I know I was lucky, that does not, however, change just how much this sucks!

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    I guess I have never worked in one of those jobs. Everywhere I have ever worked required the ability to understand instructions. They have all required the ability to communicate for problem solving. Yes, I am well aware of what immigrants USED to do, being only second generation here. My...

    Dac report

    Is there a "pressure sensor" system on the rear end that would detect a leak earlier, while there is time to avoid the damage? Seems like it should be able to be done. It's over my head, but I wish I had one.

    Michigan, your state is next, for starters.

    Those who live there should be stopping those buses from even entering the state. This is getting VERY old. We can't pay for thing that our own citizens need, we don't need to be paying for a mess that Obama is 100% responsible for. He COULD secure those borders, after all, he IS C-N-C and the...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    I guess I don't understand this. I have NEVER worked a job, at any level, where a lack of the ability to understand everyone involved was NOT important. In many jobs I have worked that lack of understanding could have cost lives, or caused severe injury, at the very least. If I could not tell...

    I will tell you how lucky I am when I get the bill! LOL! Just went into the shop and told them to replace the seal on the right side while they are in changing the brakes. I am down, SO, I might as well get it done BEFORE it fails. Then we are going up to FDCC for a "Glow and Blow" class on FRI...

    Dac report

    It was just checked, and fixed, a month ago. The rear end housing had a crack in it and it was leaking. We had that welded. That repair was fine. It was a wheel seal that gave out. I am going to have the other side replaced, a preemptive strike so to speak.

    Not that I know of, BUT, if someone knows I am all ears. This is going to be very costly. New bearings, new rear brakes, new spindle, the seal etc., not to mention the labor costs. I would have LOVED to know a way to have seen this coming in advance.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    They would be sued for NOT hiring them. It is a sick country that demands that employers must hire unqualified people, and not being able to read and write conversational Standard American English IS unqualified, in the first place. There are HUNDREDS of languages spoken in the US right now...

    Say Hi to July

    FedEx has no corner on being on time. I was raised on the idea that when a time is given you should be there at that time, or earlier. IF that turns out that can't happen, inform everyone involved and project a new time. He got here about 1015, and has been working on it ever since.

    Yeah, like that makes any difference. Obama ignores the laws that the congress passes, or does not pass, and does as he pleases. The regulatory agencies are under the control of the executive branch and congress does little, or no, oversight on them. The system is broken and it, and those who...
