    Automatic Tire Chains

    We saw these on a Fed Ex truck at the Expo this past weekend and thought they were the coolest thing... Does anyone else have them? What are some opinions on them. We heard good things from the team that owned it. We would like some more insight before we purchase them... Thanks Team...

    2008 STERLING Acterra

    Ahhh... Teams... Lucky for us, we have not had to find a team.. they found us! Frankly, where we come from, we know many people that wish to simply escape. An escape that we have taken. So many people where we are from tend to stay inside the box. But since we've stepped outside the box, life...

    2008 STERLING Acterra

    That was essentially the purpose of the question. To gain the knowledge that I need before setting off to buy a truck.

    What is a class 8 straight truck

    Thanks for the replies on our other post.. We need to know what exactly would a class 8 straight truck be. We figure something like a Hino or a M2 would be class 7. We are in a Freightliner Century with a single axle. Is this a class 7 or 8? Pics on our profile.
