No worries. I just pay attention to the bills I have and do not have to pay. I hate surprises and the last thing I need is a busted budget.
Just relaying my experience. Couple hundred new Detroits, (about 300) total of 1200 power units (2005 thru units that came of the line yesterday)....
Didn't say it caused issues with the injectors. They seem to have both a DEF AND an injector issue in the newer engines. Neither one is...
The newer Detroit isn't what most think either. I oversee maintenance on quite a few of them (couple hundred) and I'd not buy one.
Been a while since I dealt with Cummins but I'd take them HANDS DOWN over the Detroit. Without a question.
DEF harness failures seem to be rather common due to corrosion. Detroit's been replacing a lot of 6 pack of injectors when the tech can't seem to...
Sounds like the tires weren't mounted centered on the hubs.
It would help if you shared these "secret charges" with the rest of the posters. Vague claims don't help prospective employees. Sammons is on the...
I think it takes a while for people to realize that trucking (within their own form - van/flatbed/tanker etc) is pretty much the same. The actual...
Unless your dad owns a good sized trucking company, I don't know of anyone who started and stayed at their first company for life. If you stay in...
It holds weight in the sense that if they've made the investment in 120 million worth of iron, it's going to be with units that get the job done...
Schneider has some/a lot dedicated business with Home Depot, trailers there could be part of that or it's simply HD keeping trailers and paying...
I work in trucking maintenance. Mixed vintages. Were I to buy a truck right now - I'd stay pre-egr/DEF for sure. While we have new trucks under...
Don't drive for Roehl but living in NE WI - I see them. Always thought that dark green with metallic silver lettering was a sharp combo. Or the...
In DePere they have a mix. KW, Pete and Freightliners. The L/O's I dealt with at WEL were running Pete 386's. CAT power. That was almost 5 years...
Looking at the "Grant" link - the average award for an entity providing jobs was 100k. It's funded for a total of 1 million dollars. So basically...
I've only dealt with a few of their O/O's. They were happy and had been there a very long time. 1 was a guy who had his own truck outright, 3...
I know of one large IM company (1200 power units) - all 10 speeds.
60 minutes in an hour. 60*.03 = 1.8 1.8 minutes is 3% of 60 minutes. 18 minutes on a 10 hour day. Those that say "What's 50 bucks a night in...
