Cheap shot? Now didn't he say "where could he get some cheap drive tires from"? Are those virgin rubber you mentioned? Or retards? I am not familiar with Les Schwab either. Is that a tire chain?

Anti seize? Huh? I just get big momma (air gun) out and if she can't screw 'em off, I get my sawz all out. Some can be a pain, while others come right off. I've never been whopped by shocks yet and have the scars to prove it! And I am the nice guy who helped a fellow trucker (or at least he...

Yep! Sure do! Wait til the trucker next to you beds down for the night. Be sure and check the size though, before you take them. hehehehe! Believe or not, my local General Tire dealer can give me a better deal than any of these truck places. And if you have a Farmers Co-op, check with them.

And now he is gonna expose a helpless dog to it! GRRRR! Woof! Bite-Bite!

I understand the "can make it work" part very well. Same thing I did. And am still doing. But I love grease! And the smell of Go-Jo.

Now this is the story I believe. You have it right. Money is the driver behind all of us. We may all love or at least, like driving, but who of us (not including ice road and turtle), would be here if we didn't get paid?

what am i missing here? how can a slack adjuster wear out. i could see them getting bent or damaged, but not wearing out. where is our friend piper with his simple words to explain this?

Exactly. The fines are what scared me in to doing something different. My friend had his first safety audit 4 years after getting his authority. They tried to blame him for it being 4 years. Duh! Anyway, he didn't have a bunch of stuff the way they wanted it. The fines they told him were unreal...

I spent $1200 getting my numbers and trying to get compliant before I threw the towel in. It just kept getting more and more complex. More and more expensive. But also very time consuming. And every place I turned, I had to argue with them. Enough for me. I came up with another option and I took it.

Ponytail??? Turtle has a ponytail??? Reckon he has body piercings to go with it??? Probably none that can be seen!!! OUCH!!!

Just for your information, I now carry my lease agreement in the cab of my tuck, cause I have been asked by DOT at the scales to see it. At the time, I didn;t have it in there. Didn't get a violation, but they said I could. Anyway, if you think for one minute that you can win with them, give it...

Ford or Chevy. Black or White. Chicken or the Egg. Democrat or Republican. The BS lives on.

$250 is what I paid for a 6 wheel straight truck alignment. And it took about 2 hours. Rear axle on one side was out pretty bad.

I have nothing against motorcycles or people wanting to ride them. My feeling is that they do so at their own risk. No matter who has the right of way, they (motorcycles) are hard to see under certain conditions. And when it comes to a crash between a vehicle and a bike, it doesn't matter when...

I do take her with me some. She is a joy to have with me. BUT, she is a well loved little one and must be shared with my wife. Mine would be no good as an alarm clock as she will lay in bed as long as we do. BTW: It is great how many pets are now on the road with their masters. I see them...

Now see, ya all wants to be a trucker. Now, truckers go to truck stops. They luv the smell of urinized asphalt, diesel fumes and hot engines. They luv to be seen walking across the lot with a limp and their bellies showing. A real trucker will not be caught parked anywhere else. It is a degrade...

Live and learn is my "motto". Throw something out there and you never know what you might learn. I think my only concern would come in the winter time, from what I have read. It just urks me that I have to add additives to my fuel. But after a one time freeze up, I do not want that expense...

But why so serious all the time? I go about in clean clothes and smelling good (my opinion of course). I laugh, cut up, try to fit in with whoever I am dealing with. If they are pleasant and friendly, so am I. If they are not, I am still friendly and pleasant. My mind is not on the money or who...

At a Pilot in Georgia this week, I heard a trucker complaining to manager about Pilot mixing their fuel with 10% BIO diesel. Manager confirmed that Pilot was doing it nation wide. Trucker was not happy as he said it would clog his filters and mechanic told him not to use BIO. Now my question is...

I have owned several 3126's that all made the strange noise when idling. I never knew what it was, but only heard while on the outside of the truck. I have had throwout bearings making nosies before, that when you pushed the clutch it, they stopped and you could tell it on the inside. But, the...
