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

You passed right by my junkyard. That city kity in Screven,Ga. is very sneaky. My 4 year old Freightshaker with the ISX just turned over 400 k last month and I usually run 80 k to 100 k at 5 miles over the speed limit whatever it may be and it averages right at 6. Truck isn't babied by no means but has never left me sitting. Truck maintenance is a constant never ending task and I'm certain a mechanic does something to my truck every Saturday.

 

I have been considering a truck with the ISX once my lease is up on this truck next year. I have very little experience with them. What advice would have for me? Anything specific that I should look out for in a used '03-'06 truck with the ISX?

 

that is the kind of feedback I was looking for. now what about 07 or 08 model?

 

see thats what kills me about the trailer status message.
ZERO info given as to what the issue is. "pending defects"

had a couple recently that the stickers were wrong on. WTF!!!! Thats what The DOT go by!

 

the last 2 trailers I had, the brakes wouldn't hold enough to slide the tandems.......wow, man......we made it work, though

 

I get that a lot. how did you get it to hold?

 

I am old and retired made some not great decisions .It sound like you are making some very positive ones. The only advice I can give and I think you are already well aware .When the money is good don't blow it.
This comes from the voice of experience .GOOD LUCK to you and God Bless

 

get some WD40 or some-such and hose down the rails.....give it a couple of minutes and it will slide
