I switched to Verizon from AT&T a little over two years ago for the same reason. I was grandfathered into a unlimited data package that is no longer offered.

Rocketman thank you so much for finding that article. I thought it was well worth reading. And a special thanks to Moot for taking the time to to write everything down.

You are right OVM, I guess I was lucky having never had a blown tire on the tractor.

From all the safety training videos I watched as a T/T driver it always said to mash the accelerator to the floor to overcome the sideways force of a steer tire blowout allowing you to keep control of the vehicle. Then you take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a safe...

It is my understanding that prior to CSA a company that was shut down just opened under a new name for a cost of about $500. Now it is supposed to be extrermely hard and very expensive to reopen illegally under a new name. That seems like such a common sense approach that it makes me wonder how...

Only place in this area I found L-Arginine is Walmart. CVS had an expensive blend I bought and liked but they no longer carry it. I sure hope breaking done skids is beneficial to your wallet. Been years since I did that.

GRIN lol. No offense taken. I have a lot of medical issues but still pass the CDL physical. Getting old sucks.

I see my cardiologist and opthamologist every 6 months and my primary care physician 3 or 4 times a year. Each time I give them a updated version of my meds and supplements. Also do lab work several times a year.

I have very poor leg circulation. Mid calf down is purple on both legs. I started using L-Arginine about a year ago and the dark discoloration has improved to become lighter with some white areas. Look it up on Web MD. 500 mg, 50 count is $4.00 at Walmart. I built myself up over time to taking 2...

I think vanners are an amazing bunch capable of living on the road weeks at a time in such cramped quarters. I know I could never do it. I need a bit more room to relax while I wait.

Thanks Big Cat, I thought that might be a problem.

I remember being in a scale house showing my paperwork and they had someone typing in license plates. Now they use EZ Pass, I Pass, fuel receipts from ComData and any other electronic tattletale they can think of.

Hi everyone, doing st8 truck wannabe research. Looking for ballpark answers. Roughly how many miles would I run solo in 3 weeks time and what kind of pay would be reasonable working for a fleet owner? I have a class A CDL with hazmat and live 20 minutes from the T/A in Russell, IL.

I have gone back through several old wannabe threads and it is the same advice back then as it is now. Enter the business driving a straight truck for someone. Well I guess I will start researching straight truck pitfalls. Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond to this thread. Safe journeys.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply the truck purchase as a condition of employment. I would be more concerned which carrier the truck was leased to.

Driving T/T has advantages and disadvantages just like CV. Parking is a biggie. Trying to park after 9 PM is almost impossible sometimes. Very inconsiderate people driving T/T now. They park stupid taking up 2 places, don't back up far enough making it hard for the other driver to leave or just...

Penske GMC Savanna 3500 tare wt 6756, 16' x 8' x 10'6" box, 177" wheelbase, auto, 323 hp 6.0L gas, 4.10 gears. I saw another thread stating GM curb wt included 165 lbs for driver and full of fuel. Penske Ford E350 tare wt 8000, same box, 158" wheelbase,auto,255 hp 5.4 L gas, 4.10 gears...

Cleanliness at the J seems to have gone downhill since they merged with Pilot.
