We're down at the J north of Richmond, VA for a few. Gettin all the aluminum polished. Anybody close by is welcome to stop in. The coffee is on.

Can anybody out there give me some tips on training a co-driver. I tok a good friend with me last time I left, and he said he was interested in learing the buisness and becoming a co-driver i this truck. He's been just fine with being away from home, and after week 1 he still says he wants to...

Hi guys, the truck is almost ready to rock, with the exception of the plates. Panther says I need 48 state apportioned plates, and ontario. I've been reading through the ICC maunal thingy for michigan, and it talks about miles ran in each state, and weitghts, and goods hauled, etc. Too much...

I'm currently doing the research, and planning the finances on purchasing my first truck. If I get a class 7 truck, a 2000, and keep with Panther, can anybody give me a random guess as to what my monthly insurance would cost? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure, nothing too specific. Just...

I know sometimes we all tear a strap, or bend a load bar and need to replace them. Ellenbaum Truck Sales (advertised on this site) has good used cargo securement equipment. E-trak straps are $6 and load bars $25. It's a bit of a drive north from detroit, but if you ever ended up in Saginaw or...

Well folks, here's a pic of me and my Freightshaker.(spring ride, bouncy bouncy) If you ever see me out there on the road, feel free to stop by. I'm always up for a good chat. Unless i'm getting my 10 hours back in the bunk. I like having a truck that looks a little diffrent than most. However...

Here I sit at home, back for 2 days after a month out. I've been cleaning out the truck, fixed a few things, and now that I'm done with the truck, and all work related things, I just wanna take off again. I thought I'd miss home, but It seems like I just wanna get back out again. (the P.O.S...

Where can I find the qualcomm mount that is a post-type? It looks kind of like a laptop stand. A friend of mine had one in the truck he bought, but won't part with it. I'm going to try to make a laptop stand out of it. I know, they sell laptop stands all over. I'm too cheap to spend that kind...

I drive a 2000 FL60. Cummins 8.3 Liter. I occasinally idle it for a few hours, but it seems to have an idle timer. After 5 minutes it shuts off, unless i use the cruise and set the idle up. Which automatically sets it at 900 or so, at the perfect point where the truck is shaking like all hell...

Well, this post was going to be asking questions about making the transition from vans to straight trucks, but it's a little late for that now. My fleet owner called to inform me that there was a straight truck available. And I jumped on the opportunity. At least I have more room now! An FL with...

I've seen these lists for every other profession so here goes, add anything you come up with. 1. You're hoping CMT starts a "Trick my Van" show. 2. You've spent the night at a Wal-Mart, with no intention of purchasing anything. 3. You know the exact location of every auto plant in the lower...

I'm going to be picking up my E-350 next week,(barring any major problems) and just as I am getting my stuff together(Inverter, tool kit, antenna....) I looked at some interior shots of other 2000 E-350's and i can figurue out where the heck i'm gonna put my Galaxy CB! Could you folks give me...

Hi, new to the site. I've been throwing around the idea of jumping into the field of expediting. I have a class A with a doubles endorsement but most of my driving eperience has been in 26ft straight trucks. I love the road, and i'm single so getting home isn't the bigest priority. I've got...
