>So, if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front >of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates...okay? Will do! I'm sure he's worth a chunk of change. realy tho, the one that pisses me off is when someone runs around a railroad crossing gate (that is down because a train is...

It's mechanical, so what exactly does this mean? what types of problems will I likely run into with a Mechanical vs. electronic? -Joe Bohannon Bakersfield, CA (New B, Researching)

It concerns me that, I as a newbie, thirsty for advice from those with it,can't come on here and participate. I am not taking these attacks personally as they are not currently directed towards me, with exception to the branding of newbies as a whole. I will try to post honestly, as I have done...

Well I guess parts or fluids of humans are so far the most common - odd load... The single breast seems the most interesting as a load to me, I mean why?... perhaps more info can be shared. Hopefully more will share their experiances (sp) -Joe Bohannon Bakersfield, CA

Just asking more questions. If I remember correctly some toll cost are based on axles, so this would be one disadvantage, right? No one said anything more about taxes, so I don't know about that either. Ok, someone mentioned additional costs associated to the pup. I have no idea what the...

Thanks for the info guys! I honestly have to admit the "Roll" Factor is what scares me the most, if I were to loose a tire at 70mph+. The advantages do not seam worth it in this particular aplication. It however would be interesting to see real world results if someone did run Super Singles on...

Hello All, I am looking at an International Truck. I would like to hear opinions/ideas/suggestions about the DT466 This particular DT466 is a 1995 with all of the 658,000 miles on it. It has never been refreshed, but (according to the owner) been well taken care of. The dealership looked it over...

RE: ** Expediter definitions... Forum responsibili Since there are concerns of authority on posting, I felt I should post mine. I guess I have none. I do NOT currently own a Class 8 or Class 7 Vehicle. I am seriously looking at a Class 6/7 for my own operations here in CA. I am not a...

Ok, there are some concerns about authority to post on subjects. Well here is mine, None. I do not own either a Class 8 or even a Class 7. I just wanted to ask the question about the tax defferences. Also thought some Class 8 tractors look sweet with some LCS's. Anyways thats it for now. -Joe...

http://www.hankstruckpictures.com They have a vast array of truck photos. It looks to be a Mack F, however as I understand it Brockway used the same cabs, and verywell could be one in this photo. Europe still runs truck combinations like what shown today. I respect to the question about...

If willing, What is the most interesting load taken so far? Give details if able. -Joe Bohannon Bakersfield, CA

Ok, So floatation tires (front) are not really "Super Singles". Thanks for the clearification, as I used them interchagably (sp?). It will be wonderful to see a review of the defferences between duals and super singles. I figure what ever truck I get, if it comes with steel rim duals, I'll go...

Avoid Beggars on the Hwy 58 and Weedpatch exit (usually Eastbound exit) in Bakersfield, CA. I drive by there dialy, and have noticed the same people begging, and then proceed to a park and ride not far away. It's Scam, and they are usually driving newer cars... Wonder if they told the banks how...

Has anyone used or considered using Aluminium Super Singles as rears? I am under the impression they save on the overall weight of the truck (Correct term being TARE weight?) Maybe in a 33,000 GVW truck it isn't of much concern. However I am going to be running a truck at 26,000GVW, and need to...

>See what you can get JOE,forget that 1979 International. Already did! At least for my expediter. I am still going to get it and put on a 20' flatbed. Should work for local stuff, mainly construction and oilfield stuff (We have several pieces of construction equipment). Also got a guy that...
