Whoa, wait a minute If you want to know what vehicle you can take your test in, ask your DMV. Different states and different testing facilities have different requirements and I know I can not take a test in a car in my state. Same with the hazmat endorsement, check with the state. I don’t...

simon says Don’t mean to yank your chain but you don’t know what you’re talking about. First I never saw or remember anyone dancing in the streets when Nixon resigned. Even the stupid hippies (war protestors, Free love, etc..) I knew weren’t dancing about it but rather stunned by it. I...

Thanks for the response. I am trying to find an email address for the company to propose a test to find out what, if at all the advantages of AirTabs have with the popular types of trucks we use, Cargo vans, Sprinters, Class 7 straight trucks and Class 8 straight trucks (using some of our own...

http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/3202.html I am not good with links on this forum. See HotFr8Recruiter post for an explination of FSC.

BigDiesel The problem as to do with idling the sprinter for any period of time. The EGR valve gets clogged with the carbon from the un-burnt fuel. This problem was supposed to be solved in the 2005 model but I have heard people with 2005s still having the problem. This truck was designed for the...

Ok I been meaning to ask, who uses airtabs? I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago and I saw several trucks and trailers with Airtabs. Every one of these trucks was Canadian, which makes me think that they know something that we in the states don’t. Well anyway, I am thinking about getting...

you can have a decent sleeper bunk behind the seats, up to 50 inches seem to be the norm. But some have used the entire cargo area with a drop down bed or an air mattrest as a sleeping area becuase the width of the sleeper is around 64 inches and not enough room to streach out. I have seen one...

I heard that Delphi may file sometime next week and that they may go the same route as ford/vistion. It depends on the Frankfort Autoshow and if anything comes out of it for them. The plan is to close 4 plants, shift the manufacturing to Mexico or outsource to Nipodenso or a couple of other...

RE: Truth in the eyes of the beholder... It is sad that this person is viewed as committing a crime but this disaster is odd by blaming someone who really did something. But speaking about buses in New Orleans, I heard something that almost ran me off the road (something really really sad)...

Once upon a time we in Detroit used to go across the bridge, get some supper and fill our gas tank. At that time gas was $1.63/gal in the states and $1.23 in Canada. It was not a dream.

I want to throw something in the discussion here, electronic logs. Chaz said “back up your log book 7 days” which just reminded me about the electronic logs. I had heard this several times; electronic logs are all right and many truckers use them. Maybe some of you do but I have not read...

I have a 1999 GMC diesel, 6.5 Turbo. I get 17 to 19 MPG depending on the road conditions. Weight does not seem to really affect it, loaded at 3000 lbs I got 17.5 and on the same road with 400 lbs I got 17. My mileage is lower than others; I drive my van at the speed limit, not at 55 or 60 as...

As I have been looking though my safety/disaster/training material links I ran across the National Safety Council’s website (which by the way is really good source of info for those who are interested) and saw in their news items “NSC and Best Buy spotlight distracted driving” headline with“The...

Well this just proves it does not take much to throw up a website and make claims or sell advertising space. It is frustrating to see another expediting site appear on the net but more so because almost everything leads back to one company. After many months of reading a lot of different...

As I was looking for my disaster volunteer manual for article material and I ran across my disaster history book of stats. As many of you know I hate the news media because of the false and misleading information that they keep saying about disasters, among a lot of other things. The one thing...

Leo, Thank you for the formula. Ok here is what I have been saying all along; you need to understand what you are doing and how you are doing it to make money. As much as some have said you don’t need a business plan, this is THE post that validates having one. Yes some have been in this...
