    The oil pressure one will cause a shutdown. The fact that it hasn't tells me the sensor is fine and the problem is after the ecm. Remember, on a series 60 everything goes to the ecm first. Is the voltage a true gauge? Or is it just an lcd display? When you first turnn the key to the on position all guages should cycle from bottom all the way to the right and back in a clockwise and then counter clockwise direction.

    The voltage is a true gauge (not LCD). And they all cycle when we turn the key (clockwise and then counterclockwise and then to their correct spot.
    The other gauges not mentioned work fine.

    This is something I've thought about myself. But at Schneider & Landstar you basically rent a trailer also, it's just in the form of less % of the load.
     
    Mr huds Thanks this.

    Oh you are paying more than that. I don't know what a fair number is for vans but grossing just 10k a month with a 7% difference in pay is$700. Seems like an expensive trailer to me. What's a van rental here now? 525-$550 (sorry I don't know) so basically a van guy grossing $8k a month is better off here. But that's just my napkin math.
     
    RStewart and Razorwyr Thank this.

    Thanks
    If something is wrong, they will find it, and you will have to get it fixed. Simple as that.

    No doubt. I was stating that you basically rent a van at those companies also.

    Van at Mercer is $585 a month up to 7700 miles. Anything over 7700 miles your add $0.03 cpm for additional maintenance.
