    Tandem Axles or NOT?????????

    I have heard alot of people talk about this crazy tax, but I have a twin screw straight tagged at 52000 and a single screw straight tagged at 33000 and they both cost about the same to tag. I recently purchased a tractor trailer and when you tag over 56000 it cost about $500 for the heavy road...

    Help!!

    Every time they have done a compressor they have done a dryer under warranty as well. The tanks have a little in them but the dryers have been able to keep them pretty clean. When ever the truck is parked and idling it will leave a oil spot on the ground under the purge valve.

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    My freightliner is a twin screw and I have it registered at 52000. As long as you have a drop axle or second drive axle sure you can up your weight.

    I can relate with the DOT, somewhere on my truck is a sign that reads " Please pull me in and inspect me" and I have not been able to locate it so I can take it off! 550HP sure would get it done in a hurry! LOL even my 400HP is too much you can set the cruise and it too never slows down. I think...

    Advise about truck purchase for training opp.

    I would not buy without getting some experience. Not saying you cant drive, you just need to come out and experience this type of work before you take that dive!! If this guy is legit he will be around in a year when you get a taste for this business. If and when you do buy make sure you buy a...
