The only problem with larger truck stops is they would demand higher rent .

Michelin has a safety video teaching to accelerate to maintain control when a tire blows . To maintain ability to accelerate simply drive below the governed speed .

I have seen no disruption of traffic at all in Ontario due to the limiters . Some drivers run the limited speed , others stay below it at the speed limit . Different gearing and load weight keeps trucks from running together when congestion clears . Much of the Ontario highway system is 3 lane...

There is also a barber shop at the Pilot at exit 28 off I-71 in KY and she doesn't seem to do much business either . I don't know how she pays rent and makes a living . Have you thought about asking nursing homes about going to the homes and doing hair for residents ? No shop overhead and little...

There are posts asking contractors if they have had speed limiters put on their trucks . The speed limiter is not an added accessory . It is just a changed setting on the ECU . It is not required to be permanent and can be reset after leaving Canada . I have been making regular trips through...

Why quit ? Daimler and Navistar aren't the only ones building trucks . They don't care if you lose work but you still give them your money .

Then they must not be building many trucks . Daimler Dedicates Freightliner Plant in Mexico | Transport Topics Online | Trucking, Freight Transportation and Logistics News And yes, Western Star production has been moved to Mexico.Freightliner closing Swan Island plant - Portland Business...

I wouldn't buy any Navistar product . They are shifting too much work to Mexico and their VP of sales said O/O's can't run legally and survive .

You never know about prices lately . Yesterday the Marathon off exit 266 on I-94 in MI had diesel at $2.07 . The Pilots at exit 175 on I-75 in KY are usually the lowest priced in the area but they were $2.11 and the Love's at exit 55 on I-71 was $2.09 .

The trailers you see being pulled by pickups are probably private carriers . The big problem with them is they aren't dock height and probably wouldn't support the weight of a forklift . There are pickup and flatbed owners doing well leased to Acme . Without a CDL you'd be limited to a cargo van...

With seed implants radioactive seeds are implanted around the affected area . Success depends on proper placement and proper strength of dosage . Reportedly , the best treatment is High Frequency Focused Ultrasound this method has been used for years in Europe and over 5 years in Mexico and...

The jewels may have slowed him down and he wouldn't have won anyway . I came south on I-71 in KY Saturday morning . KSP had a welcoming comittee for derbay fans . At exit 55 there was a bear on the overpass with radar and 5 chase cars working . Note I didn't say waiting . They stayed busy .

I haven't bought fuel at Speedway for a while but I would buy their discounted gift cards . When used at the truck pumps they didn't ask for a DOT number . The Pilots at exit 175 off I-75 in KY used to have the lowest price fuel . Not last week . The Love's at exit 55 on I-71 was $.02 less per...

I bet that lead driver would really have a stroke if dancorn pulled into a campground like some expediters have been known to do . OTR truckers really appreciate seeing expedite trucks parked at places other than truck stops . Expediters have just as much right as everyone else to a parking...

How much manufacturer support are teams other than Toyota teams getting anyway ? Just as customers we don't like where a lot of the money goes . Look at the over 700,000 people that boycotted Ford for contributing to gays .

Yes , especially with an April 1 starting date . March 3 is pretty early to be starting April Fool's jokes though . I just expect so much integrity in posts by members here . I'll believe almost anything .

Has anyone else heard more on this ? Landstar O/O's on other forums say they know nothing about unionizing .
