I went Long Island to LA with a load last year so 3000 miles. LOL! I have 260,000 and still doing okay. Hoping for 400,000. I always us synthetic oil and change at 7500.

I get three pallets every so often. It adds to the paycheck. I also stay under 2600#'s but legally I could go 3300#. I have taken 2700# if the money was right. One month I lost 7 loads because of height. I was loosing too many tall loads and so bought the PM.

I have a 2014 PM. Its 153" long and that is to the base of the seats. With 3 pallets it is okay but they sometimes touch the back of the seats it they are tall. Took 5 pallets the other day, 2 sets were stacked. It was against the back of the seat but had enough room to get to the etrack...

The odometer on mine has blinked since day one. They have tried to reset the computer at the dealer with no luck. Also the electric fan cycles constantly with the A/C on when parked. They said it won't hurt anything but they can't reset it either. It has 260,000 miles and still does it...

Google "swing out for salt spreader" It will show Snowex PPT-175. These are swing out arms that are 37inches long and have a plate that is drilled to mount a salt spreader on. You could put the generator in a box and bolt right to the bracket. Watch the weight. I think these are rated at...

I am thankful to live in the land of opportunity. For good or bad. There is no where on earth like it. Wishing everyone safe travels.

Mr.Elliott represents the best of our industry. I wish there were more like him. Best wishes to all.

Cant imagine staying on hold that long. Just hang up and call back and do it again and again and again etc….. Tie the phone lines up creating pressure at the home office end until they realize the problem and correct it. Internal pressure is a great tool. And DaveKC is correct. Panther is...

With Landstar I would call on a load that was on the load board or sent to me via email. The agent would give me the dimensions and they were too tall. Some times they were too long. The Chevy was 12 feet. The Promaster is 13'3". This has allowed me a few more loads.

Glad you posted this. I used to give out business cards but have let it slide. I should start again. I used to stop by and meet the different agents but again have gotten out of the habit. There is always room for improvement. We have been blessed to be in this business. But it is easy to...

There was a time that we (USA) would ship coal from WV to Germany for our military bases there. It cost us a fortune. But the senator from WV was on the right committee and got it passed on a bill that was made into law. It was good for his reelection and the state but not for the rest of the...

Sat there 3 days cuz agent assured me there would be freight. D/H to Charlotte to get out and got a load out of Kings Mountain.

I have driven both. The Chevy was solid and worked well except that it was too short. In a ten day period I lost 7 loads because they were too tall. Now in the Promaster I can stand up, sleep crossways, have room for 3 skids and still have a refer and microwave. I do get paid more for larger...

The first synth i used was called a para-synthetic it had and oil base with blended ingredients. It worked really well. They claimed it was the best of both worlds. We would change the oil every 15 thousand miles but change the filter every 3000. The contaminants would get caught in the...

What ever it takes to buy food at the drive through.

I have been using synthetic oils since 1983. Convoy was made by Conklin Co. In Minnesota. I am a true believer. I have studies the test results and worked with several truck lines that converted. I will never change. Even though conventional oils have been improved so much over the last...

That's why we just haul paint and etc.... Nothing bad cuz it's not Worth the liability. We have friends that do AA&E in a van. They haul explosives. Not sure the bulkhead will help but the end should come quickly for them if there is a criticality. Stay out of Phoenix. They r shooting at...

It's a safety thing. there are just some things you don't want in your lap. Without a sealed bulk head any inhailation hazard or anything that eats you face off might be unwise. You never know when you might have to bury the brake peddle or pick Volkswagen parts out of you grill. Those sudden...
