    Items that could improve Fuel Mileage

    I bought a 3000 for half that price( $150) Looked at the install kit it came with and knew without even trying that something was not right. Didn't buy this at a flea market, it came from turbo 3000 itself. Wrong size fittings. So, one time I was in Bloomington/Normal, IL with some time to...

    Loads to Laredo ??

    That MAY be true blacksheep. It's debatable. One thing to remember is, the way gov numbers such as unemployment and inflation are figured now is different than how they were figured in the 70's. Too complicated to explain here, but if you look into it the info is clear. What's not really...

    I'm New w/Startup Questions

    Have to agree with the majority opinion here on this one. lol... especially the screw the pooch part ( good one, Col).. I'm in a ST so I don't know much on the "van" side, but from what I can tell when things slow down the van get hit first then ST, then TT last. Could be wrong but I don't...

    Loads to Laredo ??

    OVM... point taken and you're right. Everything changes when it comes to slow times and i would say this is as slow as i have seen in 4 years of expedite. Possibly the worst economy i have experienced in my adult life. (Early 70's might be comparable to now) I'm still hoping everyone goes out...

    Leased to 2 Carriers ???

    Hmmmm... Here's my question. Say you're an O/O w/ authority, your own ins, IFTA and all. If u haul a load for a company that uses QC, would that company require a QC on your truck ??

    Loads to Laredo ??

    OVM... Laredo to Tulsa,OK is more like 700 miles and I personally wouldn't think waiting 3 days then running 700 miles on day 4 is good. I've got a ST w/ fairly nice sleeper, how do you guys with vans stand sitting that long. The other question I guess would be how many good paying miles got...

    Unable to register for Bolt FIRST

    Spoken like a true recruiter... always be available means you never have a life, just stare at that wheel a lil while longer, then accept every junk load that gets offered, then keep a positive attitude when your truck breaks but you cant fix it cuz you've been sitting more than running. I'm...

    Fuel Pump Handle Malfunction

    Anybody ever have the fuel pump handle not auto shut off while fueling ? Happened to me today at the hook in Perrysburg, OH. Luckily, I was standing on that side of the truck but near the front. Even so, I guess maybe 5 gal and over 20 of my $$$ hit the ground. I base this on 60 gal per minute...
