Anybody got the new feeder IVIS?
- Thread starter Highwayman
- Start date
Old International
Now driving a Sterling
Looks bigger than the current IVIS. I have my IVIS bent out of the way so I can lay across the seats and the table in my Mack and get my snooze on. The new IVIS looks like it might affect my sleeping arrangements
Same thing I was thinking. I guess I will just have to up the size of my pillow. Has anybody seen the new tractors? I think they are freight shakers, as I laid my eyes on one monday night. I did not get a chance to see it up close tho.

Probably Internationals, They stopped making Sterlings in the spring. I've got a 2008 Sterling.

It's what the computer is called that is mounted between the seats of r tractors. Unlike the diad it tells managment when we stop RPM's mph and has all r trailer info in it. We record r lunch and many of the same things that r done with a diad. Thankfully I only make 2 stops per day though.

Wah
Uh Spif. Is your back box in your avatar still on the wall? They complain around here trying to get around them when it`s just two. With three there would be an absolute s-fit having it stuck out another 30ft.

That's what you get when you write luis in cursive on your Cintas uniform order.
I worked with Ivis for about 5 years, nice guy. I guess he's working with you all now.

New emissions rules go into effect in 2010, most engine manufacturers are going to use a "diesel exhaust fluid" method to meet the new standards. This technology requires a seperate tank on the truck for the fluid and a dispensing system. I haven't seen any additional dispensing systems being set up. The ONLY manufacturer not using this system is International. So either UPS is gonna get the new tractors and they'll sit while they do a crash program to get the DEF infrastructure up and running or we're gonna be driving corn-binders.

I don't think our present tractors will have to be retro-fitted. In fact, I think a lot of companies bought tractors in the last few years so that they will be able to avoid for a few years the new emissions regulations.
