I don't necessarily disagree, but to answer the OP, there is a solution if you want to spend the $70 or so.

They make a rack for storing load bars: Yellow Rack Load Lock Holders - Enclosed Trailer Rack Systems

If they are running a business, then probably Quick books, not sure of the version they would need, then maybe a community college class. My wife is a bookkeeper and has used that for years, kind of the defacto standard although I still think the software to be a bit clunky, and sometimes...

I think some brands of the early ATM's might of been a bit tough to creep or so I have heard. The Volvo iShift and FL DT12 by all reports are awesome, the Volvo truck I was driving had a ZF 12 speed AMT, it was pretty good, but it was kind of on/off, not really a creep mode. It also took a bit...

Must be doing the right thing, seems pretty impressive!

I was going to say you see a Timmie's on every corner, BUT I guess that is already covered.

I saw at least one bottle of beer involved leading to this regretful decision, "here hold my beer and watch this" applies here.

Once you try Costco Albacore you won't buy any of the other brands, in fact you will wonder how you could of ate the stuff!

$10 x 100 miles is $1000, $5 x 200 miles is $1000, both good, but you made more profit on the shorter run,so nothing wrong with short high rate runs.

Many western states routinely have chains required for days at a time in the winter on the mountain passes, way of life. If/when I own my own truck, automatic chains will be installed. Shelby

Quite a bit of truth there, you need to have the whoa as well as the go. I more worry about ice/black ice than snow. I live in the NW, we do get snow covered roads, sometimes for days, but east of the Rockies, shoot it is usually bare pavement, especially on the big road. Because of the lack of...

Yeah I know, hoping that doesn't happen from ANY cause. LOL

I wonder how many shops use the shop tool? Was reading on their web site and a couple drivers reported a hop at certain speeds that was cured with the product. The Volvo I was driving had a vibration around 45 MPH, I bet this would of fixed that!

That all depends on the neighbor's house, sometimes bare land is better than a shack next to your house! Just a joke of course, no problems with my neighbors.

One of the first things to go on a truck when it is mine is a TPM system, not that expensive compared to running a tire low and destroying it and or other parts of the truck, also you can monitor tire temperatures all while rolling! Very handy tool for catching tire problems in real time, not...

I use this product in my personal pickup, no balancing in years and I get a smooth ride and decent tire life. Had a friend who had a Suburban that actually threw weights off, he tried the beads and smooth as can be, I haven't run them in a big truck, but they are used there too, can't see why...

Most of the data that your navigation GPS unit displays is provided by a 3rd party, in other words for the most part Garmin, Magellan, etc. aren't in the business of doing their actual map data acquisition. Inaccurate data is generally the fault of the base data from sources. One of the large...

We have found long tem airport parking to be a somewhat safe, secure and fairly inexpensive solution for leaving the truck (I didn't run expedited, but similar truck). Some are less expensive than others (Charlotte as an example, I think it is less than $50 a week IIRC). No idea what expedited...

Maybe an old pre electronic engine, all mechanical, just a guess on this through, probably isn't very many real old trucks running in revenue service.

Greg, salary would be for an employee i.e.: company driver, there may be a whole lot less O/O under that salary plan too as it may not be worth the effort to be O/O at that price point? If you are a true O/O (not a lease slave to a large carrier) you would set your own rates, however with...
