    So You Sit or Do You Move? Try This Decision Aid

    Isn't this a copy of a load go/no go aid that has been floating around for a while? I'm siding with Lugnut and others. Part of the overall problems in this niche market is the secrecy of the freight and the need for dispatch not to be too proactive in tapping into the freight they can or...

    ATTN cummins isX OWNERS

    I know about them and thanks for the explanation, it is better than mine by far. Yep it acts as a bypass filter acts, little at a time. You do know they make coolant filters for ISX too, which for those who don't know mount on the frame and attached to the bottom outlet of the radiator. I have...

    Changing Carriers and Thanks to EO Members

    Well OVM, I'm not complaining, I have enough work. It all depends on how you look at things. I see work there, the freight is there but the money may not be for the company to justify the capture of the freight. If you are taking 70 cents a mile for a few loads, it is better than sitting -...

    ATTN cummins isX OWNERS

    I think I'm paying $35 from the cummins dealer. Every once and a while they have a filter sale, oil filters for $20 and fuel for $25.

    Gales of November

    You know Layout, that isn't really an important event because in the first two weeks of November of 1913, the worst storm we ever had happened and it reeked hell and havoc in region and killed 250 people.

    Paterno should be canned.

    Yep it seems you two proved what I am about to say, too many people can not look beyond the game to see what was wrong and defend the use of the excuse that the game is an important factor in society so Paterno is important enough to overlook his moral and legal obligations. As for being...

    You know ... never mind - you guys are not thinking of what I said. What's missing is freight. Based on a rant in the Load-1 forum, it seems that you guys are running slower than usual which is a surprise.

    Paterno should be canned.

    Really? ridicule? yep when it overshadows the purpose of the college or university's obligation to the public that they serve by educating the public. U of M is one that has drifted away from their purpose, and so have many others schools. If you want to talk about real world experience with...

    ATTN cummins isX OWNERS

    Its not a water filter, it is a water supplement unit. Did you ever read the owner's manual? Oh and the ISC also has one.

    Texas Toast

    Well finally getting to see a debate all the way through because I was sitting in the audience at Oakland U I can tell you that I may hard pressed on who to vote for of those who I think will make it through the primary, Ron Paul won't make it with this status quo crowd in the party. None of...

    I don't think over recruiting is an issue, there is something else missing. Actually the LS people know. I don't think the fleet has grown as with L-1 or other companies but I do know we still have a lot of freight. If you didn't get the idea from past posts, we don't need a forum to talk...

    Maximum amount of dead miles

    But see OVM, there is a bit more to the DH issue that may be missed by those who run the hodgepodge way of getting revenue. It isn't always about what is profitable but how the revenue is generated for the next load or series of loads.

    Paterno should be canned.

    Well you know it doesn't matter to me. The actions of those in power seem to be proper and justified which also placates the doubt raised that this person is more important than the damage to the victims he has caused. I don't think people get the idea that their defense of the Paterno is...

    WOW, congrats! I'm wondering about L-1 lately, you are the third person who said they went somewhere else.

    Maximum amount of dead miles

    But also OVM, putting into context of one's operations and the way the figure things out is more important than how it is defined. There are a few of us who make good rates and have very high DH, more than 100% so it doesn't matter if one is making what is required for them to make.

    3126E CAT Starving for Fuel

    The Davco fuel separator/heater may be the third one he is talking about but I helped a guy with one of these engines a few weeks back and the issue for him was not a problem with the fuel but something else - check your oil level. There are two other things that come to mind, one is crap in...

    Paterno should be canned.

    Nah, I've been having fun agitating the sports diehards on a bunch of forums, been banned on one of them already.

    Placard.....

    OK I will go along that there is a regulation but it is the driver who is on the hook for properly placarding the vehicle and ensuring that the paper work is in order, not the shipper. The regulation can't be enforced unless there is negligence on the part of the shipper and even then the...

    Freight Index Slides 9.9 Percent in October

    I'm starting to think that he is living off the money he makes marketing pickle to the oil people up there in SD/ND area and not driving at all.
