    Chevy A-arm stop

    It's not hard to change the springs, should be covered in the Haynes manual. It can be dangerous though since you'll be dealing with a compressed spring. You'll need a ball joint separator, coil spring compressor and a length of chain to secure the spring and keep it from flying away. Make sure...

    Looking to drive again

    Its not a case of being a dinosaur and not wanting to learn. It was a case of being "used" to run as team for a week when not necessary. Does he have something to learn? Sure, we all do. What he would need to learn is covered in a class room, company policy, updates to the QC etc. It doesn't...

    I've let my health go since moving to Georgia 10 years ago. I'll blame the sweet tea...and there are quite a few big ol' boys down here!!! Need to get back on the road since that was the only way I lost weight - thank you north eastern bouncy roads. Great way to kill your appetite.

    Looking to drive again

    Yes, but some companies may put you with a trainer if your looking at being a company driver. What a joke, but just covering their ace. My neighbor has over 25 years OTR and was off the road for a few years. One of the big freight companies wanted him to ride with a trainer for a week. He told...

    Trying to buy a truck

    Hey Blizzard be thankful you'll never get another loan. Save up your money and pay cash all of the time when possible - just like the old days. That is what we are doing, using a debit card right now. If I don't have the money then I don't buy it, period. Once they start charging for using the...

    Portable Generator Securement

    I only posted it as an idea. The old CJ7's had a tire mount that was secured at 3 points and took a beating off road. Same idea would work here if built strong enough. Keep the weight low and close to the pivot point(s). Here is the link, seems like big bucks but loose the genset while...

    Portable Generator Securement

    I'm lazy and would do it the easy way - use this as a guide. Yes I know it is a Jeep but the principal would apply.

    Air Leak or what?

    Fortwayne, no insult intended. The wording of the thread is perfect for a leg pull. Since the valves in your tanks have the lanyards I'd yank on them and see how much water comes out. Why have a lanyard on a valve that unscrews? I got in the habit of pulling them daily. I know it is overkill...

    Air Leak or what?

    Either this is a joke or you have forgotten about the pressure release valve. How often do you purge the water from your air tanks?

    Classified upgrade

    I like the layout so far but.....I'm lazy....what would be nice is more listings per page in the trucks for sale classified section. There is wasted space since the adds are longer than the listings. Similar to half a mug of beer.......

    Married solo drivers

    It depends on your relationship. My wife hated being alone for weeks at a time only to see me for maybe 36-42 hrs when I got back from OTR. I will admit there are times that you will get so focused on the job you will forget to check in at a specific time. She will let you know about it when...
