    How do I find out?????

    Near the bottom on the home page of this site is an ad for progressive insurance, click on it and give them a call. I went through them and they seemed reasonable. You will probably talk to Shelly or Natalie. Best of Luck, Fr8 Shaker

    POLICE OFFICERS WHO SPEED WHILE OFF DUTY

    The way i see it is if the truck was doing 68 or 69 mph and your doing 70 it will take you a while to get past him.

    Rear cameras on strt trks

    Walmart has a backup camera that they sell for 4 wheelers in the auto dept. for about 98 bucks. It should work for a truck box. Might just need a little more wire. I believe it comes with camera, monitor and wiring. seems cheap enough to try to see if it helps. Fr8 Shaker

    Legal rights

    Seems to me NON-FORCED dispatch should mean exactly that, NON-FORCED Dispatch. If for whatever reason you do or do not except a load should be entirely up to you.

    LED Lights...

Reason being, I don't know if any of you had the great opportunity of being behind a truck with LED's at night when there is a misty rain or fog, it makes it really hard to see because of all the glare but when they hit their brakes forget...
