    Custom built straight truck?

    Yeah, Compile your list of stuff and fax it to your friendly truck salesman, he'll give you a price. Pretty straight forward. Then you order it wait 8 mos and they will call you and try and deliver a truck that is totally wrong. Missing half of the things you specified. If the dealer is cool...

    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    My 07 338 has 940k miles on it, I replaced the head a few months ago, and its back to using LESS than 2 quarts of oil in 15k miles. I'm still astonished everytime I pull the dipstick. I use Amsoil 15-40 fully Synthetic oil, with a bypass filter. I have had my share of issues, but I believe...

    Straight Truck Questions / Peterbilt 335

    Re: Strait Truck Questions / Peterbilt 335 YOur best bet is a "used" volvo, that you put a box on. Especially if comfort is your thing. A used class 8 is still better than most new 7's for driver comfort. 7's are designed for P&D so they generally don't ride as well as an 8, and in the class 8...

    Poor Palestinians - where is the outrage ?

    Incidently the "jews" aren't the only semites, egyptians syrians palestinians add on infinitum are semites too. There is no outrage, what is happening in Palestine is NONE of the US's bussiness. If the Jews win so be it, if the Moslems push them into the sea so be it. All I'm saying is They...

    Understanding Antisemitism

    Does anybody here know why Hitler hated the Jews? Incidently, the Nazis killed as many christians as jews, but because they were of varied ethic groups it goes hardly noticed, also because christians vary more widely on the political front than Jews more of them escaped. Hitler killed the jews...

    http://www.jewsforjesus.org/publications/realtime/december-2013/an-arrest-in-israel-could-affect-you?ref=rt126 Have fun with that. Israel will ultimately triumph over Islam extend their border to the Euphrates and rebuild their temple. Just as soon as the US is out of the way. When that...

    The Future of Package Delivery (and Expediting?)

    Once the technolgy is proven, it is only a question of equipment replacement time. The first company to adopt is going to drive evrybody else out of business. By removing the driver you eliminate .50 cents a mile of overhead. Once it starts this is going to be the most rapid and destructive...

    The Future of Package Delivery (and Expediting?)

    In the US and Canada - "Transportation" is the largest employer. Drone driven trucks and delivery platforms will be the death nell of the North American middle class. Think of it like this, same number of trucks, but NO drivers needed. In a free economy this wouldn't be such a big deal but...

    Cat C7 white smoke

    White smoke is generally coolant related, so start there. If you haven't been using any coolant. The second thing is glow plugs, white smoke can also be un burned fuel. Based on your description of symtoms those are the 2 likeliest causes.

    Be quiet you women

    If women hadn't been given the vote the US would still be a FREE country. Not a single Democrat President could have been elected without the 10% female advantage.

    How many miles? straight truck

    Flat rate means, you get paid for the miles you run when dispatched. The vast majority of companies in trucking pay this way. So when you see .35 cents a mile for company or .95 cents a mile for OO that's a flat rate. Percentage is you get paid a percentage of what the company claims they get...

    How many miles? straight truck

    There is no "typical" answer to that because a lot of us run on percentage and in my personal experience in a straight truck that means less miles, but higher gross per mile. If you run flat rate you will likely run more mile, have a higher monthly gross and a much tighter gross per mile. I...

    What is going on,,the firings of Leadership

    I don't even think O is behind the firings. I think most of these guys r being booted for leaning to the left. Its more likely the Joint Chiefs have had enough and are getting rid of socialist officers. The real power in the military resides in their hands not the Presidents. Sent from my...
