    Ten minutes..Holy crap. They are giving you all the time in the world. I rarely get 3 rings and never get a message of any kind.. Usually phone stops on 2nd ring.

    School me on Freightliner M2 106

    Its gotten me a few times with small loads on.. It really doesnt look like that bad of a hill but it eats a lot of trucks everyday. Sandstone has given me less trouble then this one. Well except coming off Sandstone heavy.. With no Jake its a free fall. :D

    Why wait when a quarter or a half inch can be just as bad or worst. :( Each system has its own conditions and each driver has their own limits. Don't be a hero and don't let some dispatcher try to make you a dead hero. Its the Drivers call regardless if other trucks are moving or not.

    I have everything your not looking for.. MB 260. 6 speed manual. For sure not a work horse but like I said it does what I need. Only hill I can think of that bothers it when loaded is the one coming off the bridge into Ky on S/bound 75. I think most of that is due to not being able to run the...

    I forgot 1 thing.. Biggest problem I have had is the plastic dash/bezel.. So if your looking at one check that over carefully.. They crack from the inside at any mounting points and around screw location.. I have rebuilt the area around my parking brake valve with epoxy and so far its holding...

    I have a 07. Bought and paid for now thanks to the last carrier I was with. I don't think I could pay for one today the way things are going out here?? Your not asking about the motors correct? As far as the chassis and what I do with it I feel it was a good choice for running the auto freight...

    Electrical issue with M2 business class

    I guess anything electrical can be a fire hazard. I have been plugging trucks in since the beginning of time and only seen 1or 2 failures not resulting in fire but tripped circuit breakers.. Look yours over and plug it in overnight when your not sleeping in it.. What ever ya plug it into just...

    Truck Stop Restaurants

Good service and poor food usaually gets the waitress full tip as long as she trys to correct it. I try not to...

    Michigan Fuel tax

    This appears to be a healthy increase if signed..If I understand it right based on wholesale prices. As prices rise so can the tax. They are only talking of a cap not putting one in place.
