So drivers should drink and drive? if beer and alcohol is legal....

It usually get louder when it is due for service, then diminishes after the service....nothing you can do except either slow down or speed up a bit....its like the torque converter is locking up.. It is something we live with and all know about...it is a sprinter quirk...:D You'll also notice...

Our contracts state NO drugs or alcohol...pretty much says it all there...

What you've heard is somewhat normal..can't remember but we with sprinters have a name for it....has to do with the torque converter...our Turtle or RLent could chime in here...

I would imagine if one tests positive...it would be tough luck for the driver...since if he/she drives under FMSCA rules they'd be under federal law, not state...

Observation.... The American people expect a mountain of services from our federal government and now many people cannot understand why the government spends so much money. Every time a problem arises, people expect the government to solve it. The federal government is involved in our food...

Guess I've been lucky...Anything that went wrong, like recoil or worn cord or dirty carb I've went to a lawnmower repair...the basics of a generator are the same as a lawn mower

Ya know Linda it IS a once a year event..I don't know if I'd go health food crazy over this weekend..It is a time of enjoyment and to let loose for a couple days....not meaning to say we should gorge ourselves but people can just cut back on the potatoe salad portions and maybe some can bring...

You are in .81 cent land...:rolleyes:

It takes a "special" kind of whacko to do this expediting gig...;):p Hows the trim down coming Linda? Am I going to recognize you next time face to face?*LOL*

Again?? .............

YES..she is wearing it now...THANKS!!!:D

Prolly a tail wind from the south...I do better northbound most times..and your route is pretty flat cept for the Covington KY downhill...and ya can't do 70 from Cinnci thru Dayton...unless you are breaking the speed limits of the CZ...and if ya do 70 in Ohio..you are really taking a chance...

JuJu is cleaning out the Man Cave...grrr...I'll never where anything is....:eek:

Just luck...dispatchers had nothing to do with it...:rolleyes:

Reality sux eh? ;)

I don't see a problem with the 4.8's...I had a 318 V8 and have over 500K and it still runs..But a V6 I personally wouldn't try doing this...

I would have turned the load back to dispatch till he/she came up with the correct mileage... IF the 530 was the correct mileage..it would depend on my mood at that moment...*L* I'd probably turn it back to the carrier as they intentional lied about the mileage to enhance it and get my approval...

Charles you are correct..there are times on a weekend load i shave 70-80 miles off a load by taking the scenic route...It helps make up for the little overages during the week..

Mr, Monger....My best advice...don't nickle and dime yourself to death...BUY a generator...you are running well it appears, bite the bullet and you won't be sorry and with far less aggravation. Chefdennis's generator appears to be running well for about $600 Do yourself a favour and don't...
