The market is just the herd mentality in action. It's now in the FOMO (fear of missing out stage). This is always followed by a big correction and when that correction comes are you going to blame Trump for the same just like you are falsely touting him for being responsible for it reaching new...

Please do not above all else either take equity out of your principle residence or use it as collateral to finance a truck, period! That is the best advice I can give. I get the feeling that you are trying to strike out on your own right away because nobody will hire you due to your previous...

I agree. While it will somewhat level the playing field, it will also cause more freight to be shifted onto team vehicles that would previously be done by a solo if the times are tight. The trucking industry as a whole has a huge opportunity here to make the shippers wake up and realize they...

The "word" of the law implies to me that if you are driving non hazmat you are still performing a duty for the carrier and should at the very least be logging it as being on duty and most truthfully should be logging it as driving, that way there is proof that the driver had proper off duty rest...

LOL! yeah, you did your research alright.:rolleyes: A first poster telling everyone on a public forum that they don't care if they run overweight. I just can't decide if you're serious or you're a troll.

A 26 foot box and liftgate? With a 26k GVWR, you would be lucky if you have 5000lbs left for freight. A waste of a 26 foot box, imo. Are you sure you did your research?;) Edit: Or am I just misunderstanding you and you mean 26 foot LOA?

Not quite the same as a generic landing page, it's basically a "fake blog". What's really interesting is that that is about the only type of site there is on the first page of a google search. I think if there were going to be major changes to 2018 models, we would have heard it by now.

You can usually tell just by the generic terminology they use in their content. This one can't even get the pictures right, lol!

I think you might have fallen prey to one of those "keyword sites" that only exist just to try and drive traffic to the domain.

Well, other than one pic showing a Ford Transit, the first pic is an Opel I believe. I'm trying to figure out the model.

Well, there are still rush couriers that do that work as well as the true expedited industry players and as the gig economy continues to grow from layoffs due to automation, you will see more "couriers" hanging out after hours and living in WM parking lots in hopes of getting one of those...

For now it's only FTL, both dry and reefer van. They're not saying anything about deck or specialized, yet! Although they do say they can handle same-day freight (subject to availability of course). But don't think for a minute that it's not going to affect this industry and in the not to...

One more "under 10000lbs" yellow van on the road!

What you are going to be driving may have a bearing on whether or not incorporating will be beneficial to you.

Anyway, ohiomike08 and beachbum are correct, if there was a seal number then the onus is on the driver to make sure it is attached before leaving, if not, then not only should the insurance claim be denied, the shipper should still be billed for the run.

I can't speak to specific transmission problems, but outside of some DEF line corrosion on some of the 2010 model year diesels, most of the emissions related problems are still related to excessive idle. Excessive number of DPF regens and plugged DPF's, bad injectors, plugged EGR's are all...

I would nominate Iceroadtrucker. Why? Because he already speaks like a politician. Nothing but gobbledegook that nobody can figure out what he is really saying, just like a real politician.

Yep!

Manuka Honey is apparently one of the top honeys for antioxidants. Not locally harvested though. It comes from down under. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81nuka_honey

Don't know about DEF issues but as far as the EGR valve goes, they clog due to over idling (same reason for frequent DPF regens). You should minimize idling on these things as much as possible, and when you do have to idle, it should be a high idle at around 1200 rpm. Also as was mentioned, use...
