    Chevy express 2008 correct tire pressure?

    If we load up our pressure washer and gear to go do any work it easily totals 1100 lbs in the back of a pickup. Regardless of the load carried, your van was designed to have LT rated tires on it and the suspension etc is matched to how an LT tire behaves. LT tires also last much longer than P...

    Load One July- Feel the Power!

    Mine doesn't either unless I seriously need to sleep which, is when I use the sleep reason on the OOS screen and even then I rarely shut it off. I only shut it off when I am desperate for sleep....at that point I don't want to be woken up with possible or maybe bid load calls. It's a conundrum...

    Let us know if your trash is picked up by an unmarked $printer or a truck with 10,000 GVW decals on the door. Then we'll know.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Based on some of the things I see written in here by straight truck operators lately......DOT has plenty of work to do there. I think we would see local (100 mile) drivers regulated before the vans....but either sure would thin the heard....and that would be good. And yes....the van could kill...

    Load One July- Feel the Power!

    Hello Tuesday! Rebuilt seat installed and it feels like a whole different truck now. I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. John, when we go OOS we choose a reason (sleep, repairs etc) does dispatch see that? I went OOS for sleep and shut my phone off. When I woke up, went in service and turned...

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    I am a non ELD unit.... To Phil's original question.....rates are up. The linehaul rate too....not just the final rate that also has gone up with higher fuel prices. Rates go up when capacity is tight. Yes the economy is booming but we've had booms before and rates didn't move this much. Some...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    I dunno about post views and such but.. This kind of "it's OK" to break the law thinking is waaay more prevalent in this industry now.....enough that people somehow think it's just business.

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    So a knockoff rad is available for $76...if that's how you cost out equipment failure you aren't really capturing it. My guess is Westmicher is including things like labor and ancillary costs.....not to mention lost revenue earning abilities (especially if your going to sit and wait for a...
