When you know you are absolutely right about a decision, a particular course of action, or a obvious mistake in the operations of your business, how do you respond? If everyone agrees with you, you probably move ahead with the necessary choice or correction. But what if you face opposition or...

You know why Michigan cars don't need a front license plate? They follow so close no one can read it anyways. :rolleyes: PS. I haven't taken a load in, out or through Michigan since 2006. I will if the money is right, but I'd rather stay south of their boarder.

55mph @ 1900rpm's 60mph @ 2100rpm's

Best to date is 15.5 I will be switching over to synthetic 5-30W after 10,000 miles. It should increase the mileage as it did on my standard 08 Chevy. A couple of other changes are being considered to increase the mileage. I have been test driving by the Tachometer and it seems that 2100...

I find many in today’s shallow and unprincipled culture believe unconditional love automatically carries with it unequivocal respect. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The former is free, the latter earned. The first is a gift, the second is merited. People who possess real character...

Carl, Unicell makes the cargo box. Chevrolet builds the chassis. Getting a commercial fleet person to understand what you want is the difficult aspect. My sales contact at a local Chevrolet dealership is a great person. He, like 99.9% of the folks in truck sales, have very limited...

I have not found any "Top Tier" lists for diesel fuel, but I have to believe that these manufacturers would take the same level of skill is refining diesel fuel as they have for their gasoline.

Without speaking to Jack personally, I am not sure of the context of his post, from whence, a conclusion seems to have been drawn, but I do know this..... There are several folks who have told me about accidents they kept them from boarding a plane, or a train, or a ship, or an elevator, or...

The Chevrolet Express 3500 calls for 50 psi/front & 80 psi/rear. One time they rotated the tires and forgot to make the proper adjustments. I was going from Dayton to Cleveland the next morning and I felt harshness like I had never felt before, but when it started snowing around Mansfield the...

"Yet have regard to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today." I Kings 8:28 Prayer “According to Jewish scholarship, the root meaning behind palal is "to judge, to differentiate, to...

Piper 1, Here may be the reason QT fuel showed an increase in mpg's. Also, as noted by other Canadians, Sunoco fuel purchased in Canada. Interesting how Sunoco Canada gets a "top tier" rating, but not Sunoco USA. Yes, many J's are Shell and across the south many of them have Conoco, both...

In order to track the movement of a customer's freight, and provide them with real-time information regarding the whereabouts of thier freight, you will have a Qualcomm unit installed on your truck. The truck will also require e-track to secure the cargo. Your truck must also have a...

Could I call you? FedEx now requires, 1 million in vehicle liability, PLUS 1 million in General liability. It adds $300 more per year to my insurance. I wonder how many loads per year I could expect from FedEx? I am trying to determine if it is worth the added expense. My number is...

No, it's all good Rlent. It ties in with what we are doing in the world of vans in general, and bunks in particular. Please feel free to add your info. At $4.15 gallon for gas and $5.05 for diesel, we all will probably start living in our trucks...literally. A good heater and AC...

Sometimes political correctness affects even the military. First it was the soldier using the Koran for target practice. Insensitive, yes, but punishable? Hardly. Now a U.S. Marine has been removed from duty for distributing coins promoting Christianity to Muslims in Fallujah. Time...

Can't say for sure about the engine, but I have been warned about the marker and signal lights. If the assembly is "Pressure Fitted" into the body as opposed to being held in place by screws, it can damage the lamp. Also, be careful with your graphics. If watch the guys at Blue Beacon...

Too funny! On a serious note.... Actually, I have sold a few. That is why I got such a great deal, because the dealership knew they would get referrals from me. ;)

dtm1957, Both are good carriers. As noted in recent posts, Prestige seems to have more "one way" loads. Take a moment and read through the previous posts. You will find information on both carriers. As I have said before, go to a truck stop. When you see a Bolt or Prestige driver...

Ditto on what the oldprof said. Take the phone call, listen to the offer, ask if they have sent it over to the QC and then politely say, "OK, let me just take a quick look at the maps and I'll respond in a couple of minutes, and thank you for the offer." You might want to consider a Garmin...
