This is EXACTLY why I do not spend any $ at this Chain. I remember a load from Columbia, to Chicago delivered at 6 am the only coffee other than J or pilot just South of Gary on 65 was a Starbucks. GREAT a quick nap I will sit here in there parking lot set my alarm and off with a great cup of...

Yeah I can see all of your points, but we can easily detect a good for nothing in about 10 words that come out of there mouths. As for us helping each other, there are some posts on here that are very critical that is a ALL FOR ME AND ME ONLY attitude. Thus luding towards the radical Snobs who...

I have noticed only a slight and I mean slight difference in a lower quality of Flying J fuel. I have heard others complaine but I have no complaints other than how HOT the fuel was last summer and it was very hot comming out of the tanks. Now for WILCO, I have only one thing to say, I will...

I am not sure thats why I am asking here. Some of the products to mix with the fuel are suppost to have more wax added to them thus = coating the fine particles in these high tech filters that we use.

Dieselphreak, please for yourself and your family SLOW IT DOWN. Youve got a whole life to make $. It wont matter two years from now what you did today (work) but it will to your family! Your Dads got his own business unless you need the cash bow out gracefully. Yes I have complained about...

Your not being shallow, this is after all Business. Sit down at dinner (the next meal) and just be frank with him. "Johnny its apparant you are not really intrested in going forward with this or is my gut reaction wrong?" Than DO NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD, let him talk he will either agree with...

Not sure what additives to use, but one thing I was listening to on the Truckers Radio XM was we better be carrying extra fuel filters, this new stuff is gona probably shorten your fuel filters life by how much? They said your gona want to be safe than sorry on the side of the road without...

Walk up to the truck and just say hello. Sometimes and I am guilty of it as well, as we get this assumption that they are gona act this way or that. When I begin talking to them they turn out to be some of the nicest people around. Just two weeks ago, I walked up to and did not know it was...

Yeah, I cannot afford not to use it. Was at a Cummins Dealer in OK City O.K. guy was saying behind the counter, USE IT or some kinda treatment to prolong the dreaded Injector repair. Also said just might get better fuel mileage as well. So I did and these are the stunning but happy results.

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...

RE: CUSTOMS RE: Our Longest Run of ALL TIME Talked with a Driver last year in Houston, Alaska Truck Lines I believe was the Co. It has a large picture of an Eskimo, and the map of Alaska on it, dingy yellow paint with black lettering. Anyway this driver told me that his run every 16 days, was...

8,000 average per week, it is impossible. 7x24= 168 hours. Average 50mph, add in fuel, PU, PODs, showers, and eating HOS rules says you must take 34 hours off after 70 hours of driving, thus team must shut down for at least 20-24 hours before restart. Teams may be better to answer this than I...

Last week one of another driver with C&M was talking to me regarding his rebuild on a Cat. Why do these engines have such a short life? If after 280K to put $11K into a new one, makes it difficult to make a living in this business, thats on average just under three years old. I have not...

Norfolk Naval Base; Watch out at this one. Used the same line I had no problem in Portsmouth NH loading. Well this aint Portsmouth I was told. OK I posted about this earlier, told me that my camera, tape recorder, and lap top must come out of the truck. OK I agree, now where are you gona...

And Dyno no a truck fueling would not have done that, only an inconsiderate jerk. The truck was parked on the very far side of the lot, but being to lazy to straighten ones trailer and block in another truck is not being respectfull and than to crank up an idle for no reason. ##### me off once...

#1 Rattling the Whole Truck as to turn up an idle to an absolutly unecessary high rpm, no excuse for the vibration for Starters. Blocking my truck in as his trailer was actually in my parking area in front of my truck. I backed in a good distance. Thus being respectfull of others privacy with...

Go to General Forum, read RaceMans post below his is my respond. You will be lucky at best to break even and will probably loose $ if there is a payment involved. Save yourself the aggrivation, sell the truck. I will not deny I am in the black, its alot of responsibility, book keeping, etc...
