I have a 2003 Sterling Acterra daycab box truck with a 3126 230 Cat engine. Here lately, whenever I start the truck after it sits for a day or more it idles really rough for about 5-15 minutes. After that it runs ok. It seems to miss a little here and there, but it seems that the heavier the...

Thats alright, I want to hear everything I can before I take the test, like you said, maybe I'll learn something!

Thats exactly what I'm afraid of, my mind going blank. I'm a very laid back, quiet person. Being in a cab with a strange person and taking a test is going to be a challenge for me. Like theoldprof asked, anyone else have any horror stories before I take my test.

Those are hilarious. Do you have any more? I think my favorite would probaly be the guy goin' fishin'. They're all great though.

Thanks everyone! Yes, I'm going to go for the air brake endorsement also! Anyone have any advice for the pre-trip test, I hear this is the hardest part! Thanks, Jordan

I'm getting ready to take the test to get my class B cdl and I was wondering if they allow you to use a truck with an automatic transmission? I want to use a truck that is as easy as possible, but meets all the requirements to be able to use during the test. Any info about this and any other...

I average about 10mpg in a 2003 Sterling 3126 230hp Cat, 6spd, not sure what rears I have, 11R22.5 tires, no muffler, running at about 2350 rpms at 65mph. Its not a T300 but just trying to give an idea of what kind of mpg I get.

Thats the way it goes, if you drove an old junky truck that you don't care about, he never would have hit you!

Wow, nice job! Where is a good place to get that stuff? I've always wanted to try using that stuff, but never have took the plunge! Jordan

Oh yea, I forgot to add, I live in Ohio! Thanks, Jordan

I was wondering, if you buy a pre-owned truck that is say 33,000 lbs. gvw, when you title it, can you title it for 26,000 lbs. and just haul the lesser weight therefore making it a non-cdl truck? I haul light so I just need a 26,000 lbs. non-cdl truck, but most of the trucks I'm interested in...

Thanks for the info on the in-box sleeper! What you did is alot like what I'm planning on doing. I was wondering if you have any pictures of the truck you did this to. If so, my email is [email protected] Thanks again!

I'm building a small sleeper inside my box and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to connect the cab to the sleeper? I'm wondering how big of a hole I would need and where I can get a boot. I know this is a trend of the past, but I'm an owner-operator with my own authority, and I won't get any...
