Whats your mileage like with that big class 8 and that dtroit?

we drove one of those hinos for a while about a year ago and couldnt get out of it fast enough. It was a 338 with an automatic, and seemed like a good idea at the time. The mileage was unbelievably terrible around 6 mpg and couldnt get out of its own way, with any kind of weight at all. the fuel...

I ve got a 2300 psi briggs and stratton @ the house thats always worked well, those little honda motors are supposed to be the best, they cost more anyway.

I ve always thought a guy could do pretty well out there in a straight truck, no personal expreience w/ a van though. All over Cal, Phoenix, Reno, maybe over to salt lake once in a while. Might depend on who you re with.

If one looks around the net for any period of time at all he can find any number of forums on any number of subjects...the vast majority of which are so filled with unruliness and disorder that it makes you never want to go back. When things start getting stupid here on a particular thread, it...

yep, thanks.

It ended up being a very good day and a decent week, you never know.

Its nothing like this time last year,and almost all the load offers seem to be crap pay.

Every once in a while you run into that , where it cant find a street in a particular city, just use the locals off the qualcomm when you get that close or one of the online maps. I ve always called mine "Gladys" for no apparent reason. Theres a guys voice too but he sounds like a goofus.

It seems a lot of people like using their laptop with streets and trips or something similar, personally I dont want my computer subjected to that kind of abuse (bouncing around int he cab while driving) Having a stand alone gps is one of those things that after you have it for a little while...

RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW If this show ever does make the airwaves what other possibility could there be, other than to show a truck driver as an unclean, uncouth, semi-literate, excuse for a human being? That is pretty much the stereotypical media portrayal , is it...

I wasnt implying that the company would have any knowledge of anything evgen remotely similar to this. All I was trying to say was that it would be possible for one of those warehouses down there to mastermind the whole deal without the driver's or the company's knowledge. Theres a lot of funny...

yep,sittin up here in a blizzard right now, a run down to Laredo wouldnt hurt my feelings ...preferably with legal cargo :-)

Bet ya a buck the driver had no idea, all he knew was that he was geeting out of Laredo.

Moot, IMHO, you d make a darn fine shop steward in Chuckwagons union. Im presently making a list of grievances in the event you accept the position.

So youre pretty much saying dont use equity in your house to buy a truck? This is pretty much my plan in a few months is why I m asking. Not a hundredk truck... just a decent clean d unit mechanically solid, hopefully. Right arounf the 30 to 35 thousand range. I realize a lot can happen and if...

RichM Theres several people on this forum that I truly admire and respect and you were just added you to the list.

From what Ive read and expreienced with that liile cat, it s trouble. The kw t300 seem to have the cummins more often as well as a regular 10 speed which might prove to be a money saver in a used truck. Looking to maybe buy asimilar truck here in the next few months and its gonna be a t300 w/ a...

Ditto on the site, out here using this sprint card sometimes I d like to nuke that panther banner.
