The nat gas revolution begins- MSN Money I noticed one of these filling stations at the J in Gary, IN. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Yup that is the new one on the west side of I-35. There is no waiting on showers. You don't have 25 other expeditors wanting to talk shop. Nice and peaceful at this point until the word gets out.

New Flying J in Cotulla, Tx. It's totally different from any other J we have been too. No other vanners hang out there yet close enough to Laredo to get loads but far enough away to stay out of the chaos. Nice lounge to get out of the heat. They even have an frozen yogurt bar.

I have an '07 E-350 sitting in the driveway at home. Drive train is original. Went thru 2 alternators, 1 power steering pump, numerous batteries, several wheel bearings. Used a synthetic blend from day one. Uses 1qt oil per 2000 miles now. Starts and rides like when I took it off the show room...

As a side note is the importance of power napping. The following is the result of a mythbusters episode. Its from the deadliest catch episode that illustrates this very thing. Kari and Tory went onto an anchored ship and set up a crab-fishing themed obstacle course – tasks included throwing a...

While driving around 1 am Saturday morning I was going thru an area and the posted speed limit was 55. However, when I approached a school zone I noticed the warning lights were flashing indicating it should be 35 mph. Knowing that it was 1am on a Saturday morning in July that something must...

Need to know the good, the bad, and the ugly about this truck. Here are the specs. Engine - international dt466e Trans - Allison 2100hs 5 speed automatic GVWR - 25,999 - 10,000 front, 17,500 rear I figure my final payload will be some where between 7000 and 9000 lbs. Looking at an...

This is the very reason I am looking into going straight. lol I learned along time ago in the stock market. When others are selling, it's time to buy. When others are buying, it's time to sell. I fear the new HOS will push even more into the CV's and Sprinters. So by the end of the year, if all...

Xerxes all I can say is WOW!!!! GET A CLUE DUDE.

I think this should do the trick in reference to the OP. Accordion Seals | Uni-Grip Inc. As for the hazmat issues, I am not sure but even if I can't haul it there is plenty enough freight that is not hazmat. Besides it leaves more loads for those of you who do carry it.

Thanks for all of the constructive feedback everyone. I may be wrong but building a sleeper in the front of the box then meets the standard of it being "adjacent" to the cab. Correct?

Looking at buying a straight truck and building my own sleeper in it. I have everything figured out accept the 2-3 inch gap between the cab and the box. My questions are, does the box need to move independently from the ? If so what would be the best way to seal this space from the weather? Some...

Naaaah OVM would be Murdock (the crazy one) :p

There is about a 2 mile stretch on the north side of Lansing, Mi on I-69 that feels like a bucking bronco. Also several patches in Arkansas on I-55 and I-40.

Hmmmm get out of debt, stay out of debt, invest in proven growth mutual funds. How is this bad advice? He does get a little "preachy" sometimes, but being the open minded person that I am I try to learn from everything. You have to respect a guy who was a millionaire, lost it all, then earned it...

Mike and Mike 6-9am then Dan Patrick 9-12 then Dave Ramsey 12-3pm then mostly Sixx Sense unless the Tigers, Lions, or Wings are playing. All most all music on the weekends. Can not figure out how we survived before the XM. As for the OP, to be honest I can't stand C2C.

We are taking all these pay cuts and yet they announce they are going to expand in NC? They are planning on hiring 287 at an average salary $51,568/year plus benifits (14.8 million / 287 new employees) Unless you are a team (same household) straight truck or tractor I don't think any of the rest...

I think I have stumbled across new tactics that express-1 has instituted that will help bolster their bottom line. Since March 1st we have been offered 3 loads of greater than 3000 lbs. We have a payload capacity of 3340 so we were able to do them if we chose too but I turned down 2 of them. The...

"so the guy on the forklift said it wasn't his job to unload trucks and I would have to wait until morning to unload my 1 skid." "and I told the dispatcher I would be happy to haul 2 loads for the price of one as long as they gave me a $30 stop off fee"

"and one day they WILL regulate the cargo vans and sprinters, you mark my words." "and they said run for less now so I MIGHT run more later." "with my fleet of used Penske trucks, I am going to corner the market" "then I told the officer that I didn't have to log because I wasn't on a load"...
