Cleaning those windows yeah this was smart after I did it. Warning do not wash your side windows with the water in the pails or squeegee in it. Someone must have washed their fuel tanks off with the applicator. I have had grease on my entire side windows everytime I roll them down. At...

They were telling us the MPG was going to go down. Have you been noticing this since October? I have been doing better than I have ever been doing for the winter months. Its usually been down around 8.2 to 8.8 in the winter but this year I am actually in the Mid 9s. No more additives the...

There I am this morning at 5:45 fueling when the guy next to me decides I need a bath as much as his truck. Now getting wet did ##### me off but what I was really worried about or would have been mad about is if he sprayed water into my tanks on accident. The tanks were dry but that was my...

Speedco did me a wonderfull service but did a lousey job on Saturday. I had an oil analysis done and after 14K they asked if I had added any oil since my last oil change. I did not the vascosity was excellent which meant I could have kept going on this oil. I am one to change the oil every...

I was afraid that the Hinos might begin a reputation like this. I toured another drivers Hino last Easter. He was already expierencing a few problems but most seem to be with the Build over to Expedite. I personally was not impressed for the $. To many things put together cheaply is the...

In the summer months I enjoy just getting a cup of Ice and letting it melt, and than sucking little by little the cold water. Now for my question. You take one ice machine that lets say its ice is 10F and now take one that the ice is 26F, obviously your gona have the second cup melt faster...

Last week on an Interstate 65 mph came upon a 4 wheeler along the side of the highway. Brake lights flashed as I came upon it doing about 60mpg instead of coasting along and gaining speed and letting me pass (4 wheeler passing me on left) car TURNS left into right hand lane of Expressway, no...

Notice how we as Truck Owners are getting screwed out here? When is the last time you fueled up for less than .30 less than Unleaded? How about the price of any meal? I have noticed that it costs me an average of $10.00 for any meal if I am gona leave a tip and I do. It is really getting...

Want to purchase a set of Drives (Bridgestone) Where should one go, and how much do you think 4 will cost? Thanks in advance..

QT and Wilco seem to be the only two chains that do not charge a different fee for Credit Card use. Like we are suppost to carry 4-6 weeks worth of cash with us to fuel. We are being taken advantage of by these big guys. Leo told me about the TRUCKERS ADVANTAGE through OOIDA, if your not a...

I keep hearing the ads on the XM 171 does this really increase mpg and horse power? If so how does it work and what are benefits. Says it pays for itself in one month? Just curious.

Any comments from the voices of Expierences?

I have begun using the Howe's Meaner Fuel Injector Cleaner, for some reason I am seeing just over a 5% increase in fuel mpg. Averaging 9-9.5 before and also one tank I did not put it in, to 10-10.2 mpg while using it. Just thought I was pass it along, one bottle treats 250 gallons, $11.00 at...

Maybee I should ask this at a later date. But the question was what does one do? It got off on speaking Spanish to a Mexican adventure which is great but does not address the Post. Do any of us do anything to continue to educate ourselves further. Persaonlly I think the learning Spanish is...

Just wondering who, continues to educate yourself in this industry or another trade. What do you read besides the E/O. I like the Trucker Magazine, for one but anything relating to our industry I will pick up.

Reading in "The Trucker" on all of the company recruiting and noticed adds that our drivers only pay XLP per gallon. Got me to pull out the calculator. Have you? Do we really know after FSC what your true cost per gallon out of your pocket is? I do and am very happy and suprised, as its so...
