Hey Arkey your right I bet that weave has more info for the correct answer, than what I can supply you with. Just like you said it may be that he just has the right combo of gears in the rear and in the trans. I to am intrested in what weave has to say, and I know in a short amount of time we...

I am sure that I cant speak for weave but his truck probly has 355 gears, and only one set of axles which lessens the rolling resistance which in turn will only help with fuel mileage. Plus the tranny and rears in a dump truck are usually geared much lower (like you said Arky) than most trucks...

Just a question to see how expedite drivers feel about parking. I have been reading about the shortage of parking spaces along interstates be it a rest stop or truckstop. Do any of you agree with having to pay to park. I know that expediters generally sit longer than most others between loads so...

Hey Weave please dont take me wrong I was not being sarcastic about Louixo's post. I find it to be very informative, I look forward to reading post like this. I will be the first to say I look forward to how informative post from you mcbride, teacel, witerabbit and others are. You people are...

There are a lot of Transit vans (Ford of Europe) driving around Dearborn Mi. When I asked the engineer who was driving it if Ford plans to bring it to the States for resale he said that there is a large intrest from Ford to do just that. It looks just like the sprinter. It would be nice to have...

WOW I have been doing a lot of dreaming about getting into the business and have done almost all the things you have said above. I just wish this was something I could have read last year. Thank you for a post, that is that full of information from a drivers standpoint. There is no better...

www.truckpaper.com they have a section just for expediters/hotshots. hope this helps good luck.

That is one good looking truck. I would like to know if that is the 7400 series and is that a class 8 truck. I have seen a couple of these trucks at Alumi-Bunk and they make the FL The T-300 and the 330 look so little. Congrats on the new ride it is SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont go back to lurking I enjoy reading all of your posts. I also waited along time befor I posted a message. No harm in your reply it would not be as informative or useful as a tool if everyone posted looking for jobs. :D

It is amazing to hear that a scale house was open in Mi. They wont give you a ticket for being overweight but go 2 miles per hour under the speed limit and oh boy its ticket time. I think who ever said it above about it being a woman behind the wheel said it all. I for one dont think it is fair...

I looked on the Rand Mcnally web site, and just like mcbride said they have it all. Also the Detroiter truck stop on 75 sells maps. Hope this helps a little.

Just a guess looking for the answer in the question. I will say East coast truck & trailer sales in Portsmouth Virginia.

Whats the concern for upgrading to a B or A. I am a self taught B license holder that just upgraded to the A. I am just waiting to take road test. I will be the first to tell you If I can do it I am sure you can without fail. This A road test does not scare me in the least but the pre-trip...

hey Mcbride your correct it is wrong to use the fourms to post for job opps, But thats why I am a newbie, but I also understand what you mean they have a classified section. I am so new to wanting to get in to the business I was just posting to gain knowledge. Jason.

I have seen some of these trucks streched out to 335 w/b Reliable carriers has quite a few. I asked one of their drivers who does the stretching and his was done with Indiana custom truck no problems with tracking looked like it was factory. He said all the sleeper mfgs stretch frames. Hope this...

Hey just a thought could you still use OK if you had a mailing address like from a mail boxes ect or one of those kind of places I think they are all called UPS stores now, but it may be able to serve as a business address.

Thanks Weave,

Hey guys thanks for all help. I do appreciate the replys. I went today and upgraded my B to the A now I just have to take the road test. I waited at the secretary of the state and wasted a perfect afternoon I sat there for 3 1/2 hours so I just took the combo vehicle test. I will have to go back...

I just wanted to know if there is a list of Con-Way owners that are hiring. What should be the first step, do I get approved by Con-Way first and then find someone to drive for, or do I find someone to drive for first. It seems to me that a fleet owner could be my best bet for getting hired on...

I would like to say hi to everyone. I am a long time reader first time poster. I have a B class license with no hazmat, how hard is this to obtain now. The more I read I see that a hazmat and maybe even the A class endorsement are the standard. Looking to hire on with someone in the near future...
