We also have a liftgate back there. They were able to install the dolly-legs and it looks real nice.

Our carrier required us to install dolly-legs even though we had tandem axles.

Lodi Metals is now located in Bellville, OH. We bought most of the equipment for our new DR unit there.

It is good to know that the shock absorbers fix the hopping problem. We have driven two trucks in the past that had pusher axles. The one had a better ride with the axle up and the other one was just the opposite. We would drive with the axle down because of the better ride and the truck seemed...

Where do you get Opti-Lube?

Check out the FS2500 bypass oil filter. We put one on our new truck and it is working very well so far. The site is www.fs2500.com.

We have installed a upper-mount Carrier 850 reefer on our new truck for two reasons. One is the corrosion issue. The truck we drove with a belly mount reefer constantly had corrosion issues. With the deicers that they are using on the roads today, it is certainly a problem, maybe not today but...

We put the FS 2500 bypass oil filter on our new truck. So far it is working well. Every 10,000 miles you change the bypass filter and send an oil sample in to have it checked. They notify us of the results and tell us of any problem areas. The truck has approximately 30,000 miles on it and we...

We are using Best-Pass on our truck. It combines EZ-Pass, Pre-Pass, and NorPass into one transponder. Go to www.bestpass.org to get info.

It was nice meeting you at the Skill Competition. We are planning to have the truck on display in the Expo in July. The truck will have been on the road for some time and we will have a better idea of how everything works. Hope to see you there.

We recently purchased an SST100 truck from Jeff Jones. Jeff spec'd the truck with tandems and a 14,600# front axle with 16 ply front tires. The ride is superior to any other truck we have driven, all of which were single axles plus a lift axle. We also equipped the truck with Super-Single tires...

We have had two Bentz sleepers in the past and will be picking up a new truck this week with another Bentz sleeper on it. The minor problems that we have encountered with the sleepers in the past were fixed quickly and correctly by Bentz personnel. Their service after the sale is very good. I...

I am one of these autoworkers that retired and went into expediting. I retired after 33 years in skilled trades at a major automaker at age 53. I still wanted to work and after talking to many expediters that delivered to the plant where I worked, I decided to look into it as a new career. My...

We have been using various Delorme programs for about 5 years and haven't had trouble finding the addresses. We go to find, then quick search, and then type in the address as follows: 2054 smith rd., podunk, ar. At least 95% of the time it will find the address and go to it. We are currently...

We have used the Delorme programs and Earthmate GPS for about 4 years now and have been extremely happy with it. We just updated to Street Atlas 2005 and after playing with it for a few days, we can now set up a route from pickup to delivery in about 3-4 minutes. Then hit start GPS and away we...

What determines the allowable length of a straight truck when the laws vary from state to state? There are 28 states that have a 40' limit and other states vary from 42'6" to 70'. That 70' straight truck should be fun to drive. This info is from The Motor Carriers Road Atlas. Has anyone ever...

We purchased an XM radio from Circuit City in November and we love it. We have had to replace the antenna once and the tuner once and both were under warranty. XM radio does have an old time radio station at channel 164. We highly recommend it. It is a good companion to have on those long night...
