what engine does this truck have and how many miles are on it? has it had an engine rebuild or any thing? I'm not too crazy about that auto shift either. The old Eaton/Fuller 6 speeds are bullitt proof and anyone can shift those so don't rule them out when looking for a truck.

do you have your own authority, insurance etc. or is the company you're leased to going to broker a load for you that you find somewhere else?

if you're under 10,000 lbs. GVW and not carring hazmat,don't go in. South Dakato says all commerical vehicles over 8,000 lbs must enter but i'd let them come get me first.

you can also buy new rubbers for your gladhand at almost any truck stop when needed.;)

run as fast as you can from that truck. 3126 is a piece of junk. Find an 8.3L Cummins with low miles and you'll be glad you did.

Hey arky, if your're looking for a box i saw a field full of them in Texas. I believe it was on the south side of I30 east of Dallas. Just happened to remember that when seeing your post. Good luck with your search.:)

Not sure where you get your news, facts, figures from but i doubt that our troops in Iraq would agree with you about the war being over just yet since they're still fighting and dying daily. In fact, since Bush said it was over in may, there have been more U.S. personel killed than before.

If it were mine i would change it and the filter every 50k miles especially if you're running loaded heavy most of the time. And don't fall for the pumping out and cleaning like most of the quik lube places are pushing nowadays. All that does is stir up all the dirt and crap in the transmission...

I have the EO bumper sticker on the back of my Pete also. Don't recall ever being asked about it. Also have the TCB emblem with lightning bolt on there(you know, Elvis' logo)and i do get asked about it sometimes. If any of you seem me on the road be sure and give me a shout on the cb....its...

Yeah seems like freight is picking up for our company also. I have been relatively busy most of the summer anyhow and haven't been on-line much. Was going over my records for last 6 months lastnight and have logged just over 63,000 miles, guess thats about right for a single driver. Looks like i...

How about BS Blvd. Moderator= geo :D

As far as i'm concerned, i would rather not even have a lift gate. I don't get that many more loads because of having it. Plus, it adds more weight right on the back and gets you into lots more work when you have to use it. It was on the truck when i got it, otherwise I sure wouldn't go to the...

Yes you can rent a truck to take your test with. You must have your permit with you and a class b lisence holder with you when you go to rent the truck and take your test. Be sure the truck has air brakes if you plan on getting the air brake endorsement. I also live in Ky. and just went with a...

Hi, You shouldn't need to go to a school to obtain your class b cdl. Get all the necessary study materials and do your home work for the class b written exam. I would recommend getting the airbrake and hazmat endorsements as well. After you have passed you written tests you will need a class b...

Tony, The 94.00 is for the full coverage on the truck. The 4400.00 is forthe 1,000,000 liability. The company pays the cargo insurance but none of my liability.
