THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate it. Hopefully the cost of the air freight will be completely offset by a nice mpg gain. I have a little more tweaking to do on that thing and maybe it will be ready for the big time. Have a good weekend.

 

Hey D, there is a high temp epoxy kinda like jbweld on steroids that u can drill and tap,might be an option,check napa stores that also have machine shops attached or maybe car quests

 

Tim , I followed you on Mav forum , if you don't mind me asking what about Mav IC? Seemed like I started reading a lot of low mile stories there , you think they have hired too many drivers , I was approved at one time but went elsewhere , not driving right now but looking.

 

Hey man sounds like your doing great, any advise for someone if they considered regional for sni. I'm in Atlanta, would like to do IC sooner or later , have four months exp. with averitt and left for two family deaths two weeks apart.

 

I do not have personal knowledge of this, but was told by another poster who had several years with SNI, that they only consider OTR drivers for the Choice program and since he was a regional driver, he would have to go OTR for 6 months before they would consider him. That said, depending on where you live, you can be very, very successful running regional once you go choice. But, you gotta do OTR for at least 6 months first.....

 

Thanks for the info my friend

 

H ell,its only money right? Good luck brutha

 

If you do have to helicoil you need to blind tap the hole. You could go searching for the correct blind tap, or you could simply grind the tapered end off the tap supplied with the helicoil kit.

Usually when I have to tap a hole like that I'll grind a bit off the tap and work it as much as I can, then grind a bit more until I get the entire hole threaded. I've been following the thread so I'm absolutely certain you get the idea.
