Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Anybody deliver to Phil Mac in Warminster,PA??? I don't even see a place to park in order to check in on Google. Street looks awful narrow and busy.

 

It looks like there are some trailers parked to the side there. I would just pull straight into the entrance there. If there is room by the trailers, park there. If not, just pull as far to the side as you can. Call ahead and ask if there is a line of trucks waiting so you're not the odd man out driving around looking for a place to turn around. I've never been there, but that's how I'd approach it.

 

Hey guys. Coming on board this month. Had a question about the trucks. What is the mix between the manual and auto transmissions? And, what do you guys think about the auto trucks you've been driving?

 

Welcome aboard! I don't drive an auto, so I don't have an opinion on that. From what I understand, Magnum is switching to autos. So we do have both right now as we are in transition from all manual to all auto. I think all 2017s are auto. 2016s and 2015s are mixed. As far as a ratio, I don't have any info on that.

 

With the 2017's maybe 70/30 manuals, all are 10 spds whether auto or manual...I drive a 17 EPIQ automated manual and it's good, I'd prefer more gears, but Pete thinks 10 is enough to meet their fuel efficiency goals.

 

Waiting to get loaded in Rochelle, deliver in Rogers on Monday. Then a drop and hook going west.

So it looks like my and my trainee's butts will be on the couch watching the games this weekend, and the wife is on ####tail duty.

Aaah, this trucking thing can be a real ######...

 

Where is this sub-terminal?

 

The Flying J in South Beloit.... LOL

Always several Magnums there....

 

I always thought it was the Ranger across the street, maybe the J is where the cool kids stay...

 

Both of them usually...I used to always stay at the Ranger... but the showers at the J are better..... even the rest area just north of there will have a couple Magnums....
