    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    I started with one C/Van and got Sams club RV road service. I added another c/van and another membership. They do bring gas no questions asked and fix tires, no problem. When I added a Straight I added it to the membership again no questions and they changed a tire on the road. I gave the...

    Fleet owner trying to keep escrow

    If your expecting a return right away than think again. Depends on what your contract states. I don't know many fleet operators that even mention it. I pay mine by the mile and hourly so not sure. I've heard 45 days as mentioned earlier but it can be as much as 90 days. If he's selling the...

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    I do have Good Sam Platnum for my Straight truck and used to have it on two C/Vans. They have come out and changed tires for both without any problems or cost. I did tip the wrecker driver for changing the Straight truck tire. I do lease the straight truck and the leasing company could not...

    CV head lights

    A truck whether C/Van or TT after a year of running in salt and road junk looses 75% of its grounding. Head lights are right out front getting it all. Suggestion, reground your headlights and see the difference. They last longer and are brighter. You might reground your cab or body to the...

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    At first I thought this was joke punning off the gas skams going around. Since they have not responded again maybe this is sick sense of humor. Why would they post something like that??

    Need legal advice!

    . . I think I would have walked to the Greyhound station before I would have given him the satisfaction of giving me a ride. Forget all the other stuff, when he threatened your family why did you let him continue?? You could have A) Kicked his A*& or B) Got a cop right...

    The Answer to insulating C/Vans and trucks.

    The box test that they are refering to is done when R ratings can't be figured. The only way to measure R value is by thickness and naturally this isn't thick. The Maxx vehicles are using this technology and claiming R-11, again where they get the R's I don't know. I will give an update as...

    TakeOff & Landing

    I don't know about the puppys but cabin pressure in an aircraft is adjusted as you go hence the popping. I don't know about the new aircraft but the older models maintained a cabin pressure of 7 thousand feet, that's another reason.

    Should you run for Multiple Carriers? Read this first!

    Me myself and I like it the old way of running for one carrier. I know who cares. Well after almost 45 years of dealing with all types of carriers and manufacturers it just seems to me that if your dedicated to a carrier and you don't B&^%$ and complain to management and dispatcher they will...

    To get a CDL without going to school

    That's a good idea but the DMV in most states require a CDL vehicle to test in. SC requires testing in type vehicle your using. Such as TT or 33k straight etc.

    The Answer to insulating C/Vans and trucks.

    It's hard to believe but this stuff works. 2 gallons will do a C/Van or Maxx. Brush, roller or sprayer. It's clear. Amazing stuff. Tip, Wash the top of your cab or C/van top and let thoroughly dry. Apply thin coat with a sprayer. Let dry an hour and reapply. Try not to get wet for 72...
