    The hardest thing about the Hino is getting some one that knows what they are doing. Possibly just a Hino dealer that only works on them. The ford and the freightliner anyone can basically work on those. I travel 400 miles out of my way to get serviced at a Hino only place.

    hour's of service [14 hour rules]

    I wouldn't start early if load wasn't ready early. How far were you go? Would it use all your time? Or were you looking to put 2 small loads together?

    I believe most of us are OTR expeditors. There are a couple of guys that are local, you will have to look. Sprinters for OTR or not doing as good as they used to. They say there are to many out there. If you are doing well locally I say Stay there.

    Which companies are a better fit for solo straight truck driver?

    You mite have to team. A lot of fleet owners want teams. ES has solo drivers with PTL and they have another company that I think has solo drivers also.

    Get your starter rebuilt (make sure you get a new solenoid with that rebuild) and check all the negative battery and negative chasis connections for corrosion

    I work for the above company and they keep me busy. Just a few problems when you get out of the frieght lanes. I don't say no to any frieght so I wind up in some out of the way places sometimes.

    Assyst -18000 miles?

    Oil Analysis kits are under $20. You can check it If you plan on changing filter half throw or any other ideas you have. But I'm with Steady on this. I drive a Str8 and it cost me $74 to change my own. It never passes 12K on my oil. It is the simplest and cheapest thing you can do for your engine.
