    Problem found

    Nice job. Thats as good as a duct tape repair. Im sure you limited how much you used but where you not concerned it would travel thru the rest of the air system? How did you get into or keep it in just the sleeper side of the system?

    What type of MPG to expect .....

    Same truck as above and same numbers..Based on end of the month figures. I rarely check it anymore untill I do the end of the month P/work. The 9 mpg seem to show up along with slow times and prolonged periords of idling. (I tend to screw around alot when sitting) I dont beleive I have ever...

    Chipped windshield repair

    Yep Im getting some of that also but not enough to replace it yet. Wondering if the difference in service life is due to your carrier giving you real miles,,the vans sitt lower to the ground or ----> Your just plain tailgating to much, try backing off the salt shakers just a bit. :D

    Chipped windshield repair

    Not sure on your policy but a quick phone call to your agent should answer that. As far the repair from safelite, I had one done better then 4 years ago and lasted this long..It appears it just starting to show back up..not getting bigger just visable again when the glass is clean.. If its on...

    City announces cell phone ban.

    Last time the hands free topic was talked about here, I was against it and was avoiding them.Then based on what I think Turtle and maybe OVM said was just deal with it, I gave it a try.. Now I am convinced that the I find the hands free device way more distracting then the simply cell phone call...

    Catfish and DU

    Holloway Reservoir on the Flint river just east of Flint Mi. a few miles is a great spot for someone looking to go else where. Put in @ the county or state ramps and head as far north as you can possible float the boat. Look for large clumps of grassy plants and you will rip more young cat fish...

    O/O with a NEW truck and 18 years on the Road.

    If I had to rate truckers,,Yes I would say the heavy haulers would be one of the hardest jobs out here.Not just because of the straps and tarps (which would be no fun). The maneuvering,,traffic,,getting in and off job sites,strain on the equipt, etc etc. Yes I think an O/O in flatbed divisions...

    O/O with a NEW truck and 18 years on the Road.

    Im thinking with his own Tractor, Maybe move towards flatbeds to get his pay up.Heavy hauling should pay better then dry freight.Providing his truck is heavy enought for it. Just a thought or something to look into. Thats considering he wants to really work for a living..:D
