I believe all states have a point system? You can check your own License or have your company run it thru there Safety Department. Do you think your license has been assesed points for a specific violation? Not all traffic sitations carry points. Seat belt or out of service violation come to...

Boy you hit this one "dead on"! Can we say, I see you have the mark of the devil next?

Excellent! I can see the RV community drooling to get one of these in the left lane going 55 mph! No CDL required, just hook up to that 22,000lb trailer and see America! Yippeee

The only exception to your statement would be if you were to transport Hazardous Material. You would then need to stop at scales and carry a log book. Be careful when you see some scales that say "all commercial carriers" must enter scale. If your loaded and are displaying your company logos you...

Boy you hit the nail on the head with your observations! Anymore than 5 minutes of idling is wasting fuel and your engine! Let the oil cool the turbo and slowly cool the engine from "Hot" spots and shut her down. I believe the sales of generators should be at an all time high with the high cost...

Atlanta has always been a hot bed for destination. I would think any of the "Big" carriers would get to Atlanta on a regular basis. Good luck.

Thanks for the positive comments and putting the numbers for all to see. Great job putting this together. We all should be proud of what we do and the great job most truck drivers do everyday. Thanks again.

You need a noise cancelling filter. Any good CB shop can supply this. You are getting alternator interference, more than likely.

Just wait a bit, I have contacted several drivers who have this basic contract and they will post info for you. Every operator has a different view on a fair contract so this will just be a guide to get you started. Good luck with your new opportunity.

Maybe Dodge's involvement will help with service problems. Poor design is another story. Maybe we are overtaxing this little engine with heavy loads and fast road speeds compared to European market where speeds are much slower?

Sounds like you did what you thought was best. Your carrier never should of offered you that load as a single driver! That is probably why there was "NO" load for you. They realized what they asked you to do was totally illegal. Maybe we don't want to know who your carrier is! Better stay local...

Data is everything! If you are new to the computer and stay out as long as you say, I would use a ledger. You can pick up a 13 column one at any office supply store. If nothing else you will always have a back up in the event the info is lost on your computer. Good luck and the overwhelming...

Unfortunately the obvious choice is Blue Beacon! Not my favorite, but they do it quicker,faster, and generally cheaper! I always tell them no Brightener {They use ACID}! if you don't tell them they will use it on your paint, your wheels and tanks! You think it's hard on your aluminum...wait till...

G-tec in Detroit Mi. I think can install. Also a company called On-Spot has dealers in Indianapolis In. Check web sights for both companys. I'm sure they can direct you in the right direction. By the way I've used the automatic chain up system and boy is it slick. Good luck and keep us posted...

I think the price is fair. I just helped in the sale of a 2000 model fl 70 and it sold for 50,000.00 with over 450,000 miles. If the condition warrants a higher price, then it's a good deal. The used truck market has changed in the past year. There is no longer a glut of used equipment on the...

Is a Chevy Express a van? You will need a 1 ton van for virtually all expediting carriers. You are already on the sight. Check out the advertisers. They will be your best bet for use of your equipment. How about running an add in the Times or the Post and see if you get any responses? Just a...

I agree, excellent piece of equipment. You can take it off your taxes as an expense and still transfer to your next truck. Sounds like win, win to me.

Unfortunately this is common practice with the credit card issue. They will gladly take a Comdata card that charges less % rate than your visa card. One of the many obstacles of trucking in todays economy. The TruckStop owners say they are just barely breaking even! We all find that a little...

>>Hi guys I have yet another question for all of you. >>I have narrowed down my choice to the following two >>trucks,and would like your opinion on them. THx in advance >> >>The first one is >>Year: 2000 >>Make: GMC >>Model: C7500 >>Model Detail: EXPIDITOR >>Price: $36,900.00 CDN...

Chaining up is not a west coast only inconvience. We had autochains on our truck, one company that supplyies tese is Insta-chain. We've used these to get out of dock area's and whenever we where uncomfortable about road conditions. We did not use these to be hero's but to get off the highway to...
