Rail is intermodal ... Picking up trailers from a rail yard and delivering them.... USX does some but not as many as others

rail is when you pick up a load in say chicago going to say la (good run) but you dont run it you take it to the RAIL yard and it goes by trail. then a driver in la picks it up at the rail yard and delivers it

 

I was hoping to get a volvo when I get in at US EXPRESS
when I was with werner I had a prostar eagle and it was ok but had problems
is it true you have to pay for that fluid stuff yourself at werner you had to
but I didnt use it since I had a prostart

 

You will not get a Volvo. They have almost all been pulled. We have mostly Freightliners, Peterbuilts and Internationals. You do not have to pay for DEF, if you have a newer truck that requires it, it is charged to your fuel card.

 

Ok dumb question, what is this DEF why do you need it and what is it for. I am thinking a fuel additive, but can you explain?

 

DEF= Diesel Exhaust Fluid

DEF is a urea-based chemical reactant designed specifically for use in SCR systems to reduce NOx emissions

CLEAN AIR CRAP

 

DEF stands for Diesel Exhaust Fluid and it goes in 2011 and newer trucks. There is a seperate 20 gallon tank and it is injected into the exhaust. It is a pain in the a55 and something else to break on the truck. At least a lot of truck stops have DEF pumps now (or are installing them) Hauling jugs was really a pain.

 

I thought that the Clean Air Filter for Diesel that Corning Inc was putting out took care of this???

Thank you

 

starting in 2008-2007 all new trucks started using DPF "Diesel Particulate Filters" with regen systems then in 2011 they ADDED DEF to them so all new trucks have both

 

Haulling those DEF jugs is still a pain in the a55.....those pumps must not be anywhere on my routes.
