Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

For the most part you are pre planned on your next load the day before you get empty, heck sometimes you know what your doing for the whole week.

 

Do yall ever think magnum will turn they trucks up, some days 63.5 mph be a drag. At least to 65

 

No. I asked nicely, tried negotiating, and then had a full grown hissy fit. Matt isn't budging...

 

The Trainers at Magnum only get an extra $160.00 a week for training! sounds like they don't appreciate their trainers too much. A lot of students, when they first start driving, don't have the stamina to do 10 to 11 hours of driving to begin with. So, can the trainer drive the remaining hours if needed?

 

Loaded in Pa. and delivered in Chicago this morning. Reloaded 18 miles away in Bedford heights for a drop and hook in Appleton, Wi. I reload at the same place in the a.m. For a delivery tomorrow in Mn.. Then Monday I reload in Gaylord, Mn. going to Coppell, Texas.

 

Any of you have had their collision midagation system almost throw you thru the windshield? Was on cruise control, a s10 pick up cuts across in front of me about 50 feet. The system shut the truck down like right now. Not good if I have had a 4 wheeler or big truck close behind.

 

Left the house Wednesday repowered a load from a driver broke down. Took it 30 miles Loaded in GA going to TX. Can't reload till tmrw(got 2 days layover pay didn't even have to ask) going to KC for Monday dlv then reload around the corner going to MN for Tuesday.

 

Mine isn't that sensitive in this truck, but with another company I had a different system in a freightliner, it was super sensitive, and would lock the brakes up at highway speed. There was nothing safe about that POS.

 

I had a Eaton system at another company slammed on the brakes. I started to refuse loads like paper rolls and copper because I was afraid it would come thru the nose of the trailer. I like the wingman system seems to work good

 

While at Shaffer, their trucks used the Meritor Wabco On-Guard system. That system is so noisy and constant and aggravating as all get out, that you'd look forward to being thrown through the windshield. It sucked so bad, it would react to things that weren't there, and was sometimes so slow that it would react AFTER a potential threat had already passed. The system in these Petes is fantastic by comparison...still don't like the idea of a computer second guessing me though.
