Coastie Going O/O at last

Put it this way. If you had any # of trucks that required you to have drivers, what would be your first interest and main concern? Hopefully it would be to make sure your trucks and company were successful. If it wasn't you would not be a very smart business owner. Would that make you a bad person or bad company to work for because your main concern was your co's success? No it wouldn't, it would again just make you a smart business owner. Now if you chose to just be a tightwad paying your drivers, or lying,stealing,cheating your drivers out of things they had earned then that would make you a bad co to work for. Just because a company is concerned about there success as the #1 priority doesn't make them bad. I happen to work for a company that actually cares for the drivers and are very family oriented. I know of instances they have even went as far as sending the company Leer Jet to pick up a driver in a family emergency to make sure they got home in time. I'm just saying good company's do exist.

 

Sounds like a cat bridge motor. 03-04 single turbo cat. The one I had could not get over 5.5 and had actually droped into the 3's running heavy and fast out west.


The 22.5 is more efficient but as long as you don't have tall 24s its negligible and not worth the cost of upgrading. Plus 22s look stupid on a pete.

 

Coastie, don't you have a N14 Cummins in your truck? Also, have you thought of adding the pittsburg power package to your truck?

Make sure your EGR valve is closed and disconnect the lower plug on it and I bet you mpg will improve

 

no EGR on a 2002 :smt038

 

I met Coastie today at Loves at Exit 44 and I enjoyed the time I had with him. He has taught me a lot about the industry and I would like to thank him from my heart for talking with me. I hope everything goes well with your delivery at Lowes tonight.
