Boy, where have I been? I have never heard a TT driver sat give a 4 wheeler a break or a brake. I tell them all the time, "I hope there is a truck behind your family right now and is being told by one of your trucker buddies to run them over". If they come back with a remark, it is usually...

I usually have mine on, but turned way down. If I hear a bunch of conversation going back and forth, I will turn it up to see if it pertains to any warnings I may need to know about. I get tired listening to grown men talking filth and wanting to bring demise to 4 wheelers. So, yes, a CB can be...

My idea is the best (for me anyway). There'll be no retrofitting. No exessive heights. No additional expense to implement it. What is it? My idea is to do nothing. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

We need iceroadtrucker's opinion on this. Where is he? This would be right down his alley.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss". Keep your truck rolling and it will build no ice. When in icy conditions, call your dispatch and demand a load. They will understand. Try it next time. You never know!

What a dummy Ron was. All "real" men know you're supposed to "Cover your A**".

Look on Ebay. I bought a refurbed C550 for $170 with the newest maps. Have had several Garmins and 1 TomTom. I decided real quick, I was a Garmin fan. Is Garmin perfect. Nope! But at 2 o'clock in the morning when she puts you at your drop next to the lake in South Haven, Mi. where even the...

Well, yes I have. And no, I wouldn't want my grandchild to be there if, "God forbid I ever wrecked my truck". But, I think the line of thinking about prohibiting kids, would be like me (60+ taking my grandchild on a run with me, or younger drivers taking their child for a little run) during the...

I am looking at my last oil change from Speedco invoice: Oil change, oil filter change, fuel filter change, greased, air filter checked, pow steer fluid checked, front hubs checked, washer fluid checked,coolant checked and added some, freezepoint was tested, nitrate tested, tranny fluid...

You have to have something going for you. I have heard there are a few at the Manchester scales who are nice, but to date, I have never run across one. I was took out of service with no marker lights and I was told by a Tn state trooper (doing a roadside inspection), that in order for me to...

It just donged on me which scales you were at. You said Coffee, Tn. That is Coffee county and the scales are at Manchester. Wow! Manchester? And you didn't get a citation? You must be one slick talker to get out of that. That is an out of service to everybody else. I did 10 hours there about 3...

NAPA....I have had trouble getting the local guys to look up parts for me. These heavy duty parts are in a different catalog than regular vehicles. Some stores know and some don't. Click the link below and under search, enter your part number and be sure to put a check in the interchange box. If...

And us grown ones know how we feel after being strapped in for 11 hours. I just can't imagine a baby in a truck for that long. Oh mercy!

Wife and a baby? In an expediter truck? It would sure test your love for them.

Well, I give all of you a thumbs up for working NYC area. Guess I ain't no expediter like y'all. The last one that jumped on my running board was in Atlanta and it scared the pee-gezus out of me so bad that I pulled into an intersection before I realised it. The idiot on the running board jumped...

I am going with theoldprof on this one. I had several marker lights that were corroded on the inside and when it would rain or when humidity was high, BAM, it would kick my breaker. Drove me nuts until one day I was replacing a bulb and noticed the corrosion inside the marker light. It will be...

Since they were Freightliner brand replacement shocks, the price doesn't surprise me. The Monroe price or Gabriel brand price at NAPA would probably be cheaper. Bad part is that they are the same thing. I paid $75.00 each for Monroe for the front of my Peterbilt at NAPA. And I doubt you will...

I was there, kinda, sorta. About noon on Tuesday with a delivery of stage lighting. I had no clue as to what show was fixing to happen. I did notice alot of trucks of all shapes forms and fashions. Guess I should have hung out there instead of going on to Indianapolis with a load.

Wow! After a decent week last week, I sat 2 days waiting in Indianapolis. Nothing there for me, so I just came home and will try again next week. I thought things might be picking up last week, but, this week was terrible.

Look at the price of these trucks right now. You can buy them for a whole lot less than an engine would cost you. Why replace an engine in an already wore out truck? Buy another truck. I have a 2000 Peterbilt with 3126 in it. Right now it has 310000 on it and if it blew the engine, I might...
