We ain't seen a new one since '05... I guess some terminals just do what they please....
What happened to that automatic maxxforce you drove?

I know the choo choo terminal don't have any new trucks. They still have trucks with the sliding rear window and the fan on the dash running schedules.
it does not stop the heat coming from the engine comp.
Stop your complaining man.. I walked to school in the snow, barefooted for 5 miles.. Uphill, both ways....
4 Volvo daycabs and 3 kw sleepers in Memphis...
I also heard in 010 that the KW's couldnt be turned down to 67. KW wanted those trucks to stay at 85mph...maybe that was a bad rumor who knows
They can be turned down but KW has to do it
Yep. They turned ours down from 75 to 66.
Last week, I saw a brand new estes truck(volvo daycab) pulling 3 or 4 other brand new estes trucks(volvo daycabs), going up I-57 NB, between marion,il and mt vernon,il.
Yeah, those new trucks don't run well south of Memphis, West of Atlanta and East of Dallas down here.... I have a Maxi-Pad new one.. Or it's new by mileage standards.. It's going on 3 years old, has 257,000 miles on it and stays in the shop....
I just get whatever runs every night nowadays and hope I make it back home....
Crete has had so many problems with maxxforce engines. Another company I was with briefly had 2 prostars w/maxxforce engines that blew up in the same week.
Another company owner I spoke to, got rid of his prostar maxxforce trucks before the warranty was up because the out of pocket cost was 6k per EGR replacement. :nono_h4h:
Not enough testing of that engine before it hit the market, I would say.
Don't get me wrong, I'll take a prostar style daycab over the older stuff anyday for my backs sake; long as it cranks and runs.
Got me a new k dubya. Nice ride. Peoplenet doesn't work. Wonder how long I can forget to write it up before they say something.
