2005 freightliner rhl185 (glorified m2) I noticed my front tires wearing a little bit funny. Took it to a friend who teaches heavy duty truck repair to have aligned and found out it was the king pins starting to wear. Most highway trucks in some form or another are based off of the ford model a...

Man that was an expensive front end repair. But now she rolls in a straight line!:D

If you wanna make that cash, you got to think outside the box and have cash on hand to run under your own authority.

If it keeps the number of multi tasking soccer moms off the road I say regulate the crap out of their driving privelages.

Hauling passenger and truck tires seems to be pretty steady so far.

What they should do is put a passenger restriction on a persons drivers license. Take a page out of the cdl manul for driving a bus how you need a p endorsement if its above 15 occupants. But say if its something like a 16 passenger van van with a brood of evil children and a multi taking mom...
