When hanging out in Warren or Sterling Heights, MI. Becareful around the K-Marts, Wal-marts and Meijers. The managers might call the police on you for parking in their lots, even if your in the store shopping you might come out finding your trucking being towed away. I post about this before...

Wonderful subject, kids on a trip. I have many mixed thoughts about kids being on the truck. Most companies will allow a child at the age 12 and older. There are few that will let younger children on the truck, but I am sure you have to sign a statement, if anything was to happen, the company...

Just a small note to say thanks to all of those that replied. We finally found the mirrors at Michigan Truck Repair, in Sterling Heights, MI. I think total cost was about 33.00. The cost was right in the area that I thought was reasonable. Thanks again for your help and concern:7 :7

Our driver side mirror finally gave way to the wind. I have been checking out prices at Freightliner for a new heated mirror. They want 69.00 for one. I have been looking around for a better price. So far I have found one at Speedco for about 32.00 (?). I also found a place on the net...

With the way the contruction on the road is and more drivers on the road, you would think they would be happy to see us arriving early. But, from what I understand Uncle Sam gets his cut if the stock is to early on the floor and not directly used on the line as it arrives. They figured JIT...

We have been with LEA for two years now. We have never been passed over on a short load. What we have done, is ask the agent if there is a solo in the area and if he/she is available to take the run. If not we will take the load to help out. We also have taken a load that was 190 mile...

We have an FL70, Cummins 285 with a Spicer 7. We pm the truck every 15,000 miles. When we got the truck, about a year an half ago it had approx. 65,000 miles on it. It now has 266,444 miles on it. So far, we have had problems with the oil sensor, fuel pump, fuel lines, and we have had to...

I am really sorry that you had to go through this. Its very frustrating. I also have made copies of credit cards numbers, licenses and medical cards. I keep one copy at home and another copy on the truck in case we should lose or have something stolen from us. I also have written down all...

Larry, Michigan passed into law last year that headlights are to be turned on during rain. People just do not read the signs on the road. Its now time to replace our windshield on the truck. It is so pitted the wipers are not working properly. Any ideas where to go for the best deal?

Federal law states that all monies are due to pay in 15 days of receiving or shipping goods. If there is a company that still owes you money, you need to send them a certified letter stating they owe you money with a copy of signed bill of lading. To set good intentions for collections you...

Bobbysgirl, are you saying that you paid 110.00 for a truck inspection? Truck inspections that are required are usually paid for by the company your working for. Any trucking firm that requires an inspection also keeps a listing of inspection stations that they use where a prepayment or...
