    $30.00 a month internet cell service

    There was a previous post indicating there was a plan for wireless internet service for 30.00 a month. What company is offering that? Sprint use to be $80.00 per month so 30.00 might not be bad if coverage is decent. Might be better than wi-fi if connection speed is good. Davekc

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    This is kind of a follow up to RichM's post. It seems alot of companies and owners are struggling to find team drivers ect. The large truck load carriers are offering .32 to .50 cents a mile plus benefits and still can't find enough drivers. As I look at the current classifieds, there are only...

    Tolls in IL.

    Once again we see the stupidity of the IL. governors office. This guy must be the most anti-trucking individual in government. You would think he would get a clue by what has happened in Ohio. What does he think fuel taxes are for? According to him, everything but the roads. Just another example...

    65mph on OH turnpike

    As expected, when the communist state of Ohio started losing money on the turnpike, they raise the speed limit,cut fuel costs, and maybe a reduction in the toll rates. The money raised by the revenue rangers was not enough to offset the lost revenue from trucks bypassing the turnpike. Those...

    tool boxes

    I read a post and it got me thinking. We have the aluminum tool boxes and while they don't leak, they do get at times, condensation in them. I have to spray some of the tools with WD or they will eventually rust up. Do the fiberglass ones do this as well? Or is there a good way to eliminate the...

    cat 250

    I tought I would pass this along. Found out that when you check belts and idlers, cat has a new front and back bearing assembly for the water pump belt. Mine were not in bad shape but added the new one since I had the belt already off. Suppose to be more balanced and last longer. I you take care...
