    Read this article and see if you share my opinion that Navistar doesn't deserve business from O/O's . You might even tell the reps from Navistar at the show they shouldn't expect much business from the expedite industry because according to their James Hebe all O/O's will no longer exist in a...

    Class 7 vs Class 8

    That's right , Hinos are definitely vocational trucks . But I know several people using class 4 Chevys in hotshot work . While they were not intended for that they have gone over 200,000 miles almost trouble free and will go many more . Its too bad GM discontinued the medium duty production ...

    Canada another angle on speed limiters in Canada

    I'll tell you what happened when a "trained person" set mine . He told me he also had to do a recall on a wiring harness for my light switch .

    Canada another angle on speed limiters in Canada

    $.50 a mile is too cheap to haul freight but that doesn't stop somebody from doing it . Somebody can charge $10 and probably do four or more an hour . That's better money than you make trucking . Is $10 too little or is the $90 shop minimum plus an EPA charge of $8 too much ? But then Speed...

    What happening with Panther???

    So it looks like if someone is offered a 1200 mile run they should ask where the swap will be made . Anything under 500 miles should be refused . Two drivers can't simultaneously arrive at a swap point . Some waiting is going to be involved . Why involve 3 drivers in this run ?

    Freightliner, Hino, Sterling

    Peterbilt does have a nice medium duty truck . You'll see a lot of them set up as car carriers . We know the Sterling is history . While the Freightliner is a good truck I find it odd expediters that have lost so much work due to manufacturers closing plants give their business to a German...
