Furniture Row Express

Ya they are gliders everything new but engine and trans rebuilt. I guess they got a real good deal as they bought more of them. A few cascadeas and petes with DEF for the few Cali runs they , for now are not sending any of the cornoados to Cali. They are Detroit 60 series with good power. The same Detroit I had a few years back leaked oil a lot but this one has yet to do any of they. Engine still looks new and clean.

I think they do hire from TN. Have a terminal right their in New Albany, MS. As far as home time they will get what ever load going your way to get you home. Weather it be furniture, beer, liquor or meat. On my first home time with them and they got me a load to get home on the day I ask to start. Not sure if that was a fluke yet but it is a good start. Less stress working here then JBS and the best thing of all. If the communicate with them they will with you. They even pick up the phone when you call and reply to MSG in a timely matter. Safety guy is real smart also. He will set down with you with paperwork of proof when he tells you something is truthful. Showed me something today to help out with fuel mileage that I never knew and he had the docs to back it up so I didn't feel like I was getting smoke blown up my ***. If you know what I mean.

 

Lol, same here but found out from safety that if you keep it 1 mile less then what it is limited to then you will save fuel. Said that the truck will dump fuel in the system even when you are at your limit and it is going to waste and lowering your mpg. Showed me three truck to show the comparison then showed me mine after I asked. From what I say on paper sounded like he knew what he was saying. So l give it a shot to see what happens next month. They are also starting a mileage bonus that will go along with your mpg. Already doing top mile, did 14k ladt month as long as I stay out. So I'll give that speed limit a test to see if my mpg goes up. If so the bonus % will go up.

 

Lol, there have been a few of the gliders go down but I feel it is the normal bugs getting out of the system. Air bag leak on 1, a few with drive shaft issues. Come to find out Freightliner was trying out a new shaft to make the trucks lighter. Some with leaky cabs to include mine. Other than that haven't heard anything else. Not sure of the hp on the Detroit. Paperwork on turn say 330 to 600 rebuild package. I do know they pull good with heavy loads. At less mine does.

 

Called the shop and they gave me the # to the Freightliner dealer in the city I was in. Told me to call and make an appointment. So I did got in and they said that the seals where bad. Trucks are made in Mexico ... Lol. So they re sealed it. Hasn't leak yet so I think they got it. I only found the leak after I got a truck wash so didn't know before then that it was. The leak was coming in from the dome light in the sleeper and above the headboard about the driver seat. Only small stuff with my truck. Nothing that didn't take a hour or two to fix.
