I agree completely. It's become complex only in as much as what I make of it. I enjoy working for USX. I don't care for their decision to...
I'm leaning towards that, or doing nothing about it at all. I have a good pair of FMs and I would really hate to lose them. Becoming an O/O,...
Nope. Just finished up a 50 hour trainee who needed to knock out the Pro Treads and they don't work in my truck either. That, BTW, was a...
OK.....OK. It's a nice truck. It's a new truck. Has all the parts attached. Picked her up with 13 miles. I'm with Vince. I'm getting use...
Sitting at our Springfield terminal waiting for the shop to finish prepping my new ride.
I've had 2 Auto shift trucks. 2010 780 Volvo, and a 2010 Freightliner which I drove for nearly a year. I'll give on the ease of driving in...
OMG. :biggrin_25511: I've been re-seated...........again.............ready? 2015 Freightliner right out of the box. ...........and no...
If you power brake the truck when docking or hooking it'll take a little of the bite out of it. That was the only way I could tolerate the auto....
Hello There. :biggrin_25511: Good stats this week. Cranked out 3,001 paid miles with 2 lost loads and a trailer breakdown, so freights moving....
Granted, I've only seen a pair of 2015 Cascadias, and both were sporting Auto-shifts. Rumor has it that Freightliner is not providing warrantees...
There are plenty of arguments to support both Auto-Shift and 10 speeds. I've had 2 Auto-Shift tractors since I've been with USX, and they're OK,...
Hello There. :biggrin_25511: Yeah, I know. I haven't been on TTR too much. I've been in hermit mode since Christmas. Weather's been lousy,...
This was a storm that tracked across the south. Glad to hear you two escaped the area before it hit. Now there's a big storm brewing in the mid...
I'm finishing up my home-time here in GA. And.....now that I'm ready to get back on the road, two things are stopping me: 1st: Truck is still...
Yeah, I parked for the snow.......actually......I never rolled that day, and knocked out a 34 hour reset.
Hello There. :biggrin_25511: Well I have plenty of time to write on this snowy day here in Warrenton, MO. Yep, snowing like it's the last one....
HD, I have asked you before...............enough with this negative posting on this thread. Please stop.
Merry Christmas Sammycat and Trucker Dave. Yeah, spent the customary longer time out so I could be home longer while the kids were in town. Time...
Sorry to hear you're having problems. Recovering a truck is one of the tasks that comes with the job. Sometimes we're just short on tractors....
Hi Vikingswen. My truck issues stem more from desk jockeys trying to make the correct decision than from real truck problems. Moving drivers...
