    Hello Expeditors!!!

    Hi Alfred, You didn't say what kind of expediting truck. Is it a cube truck (c-unit) or a class 7 (D-unit). If it's a D-unit (this is only my opinion) don't go with a 16 foot box you'll miss out on some good loads because the shipper might require a 24 foot. there are alot of good used 24'...

    Volvo Straight Truck?

    Just wanted to say forget the reefer and lift gate. you won't need either one. If for some reason you get out of expediting and find the need for a lift gate you can always have that added later. As for the reefer you won't need that unless your hauling produce which i've never seen expedited...

    best cb

    Hi Gypsy, I agree with teacel 100% about the antenna. dividing it up your radio is about 30% and your antenna 70 % and i also agree that the galaxy is one of the best radios out there but if your not ready to spend about 300 dollars for more radio then you'll ever need. and if your just starting...

BUT.... the most inexpensive way to...

    Tire cupping

    a lot of times the cupping is caused by bad or worn shocks and the tire is just bouncing off the pavement. I also agree with Wild Bill. I had a problem with a left front tire (Michelin) where it was wearing diagonaly all around the tire. took the truck in to have it aligned and the mechanic said...
