Direct from Fern Bennett- "In reference to incorrect information some of you have received from your lease company, new Oklahoma state laws only affect people or companies with their own authority. Our records (Referring to me, a lessee) show you are under lease therefore THESE LAWS DO NOT...

I tried a Speeedco oil change for the first time last week based on some recommendations from others on the forum, and have to say I'm very satisfied. I used to change my own oil, but found the 40 qt. capacity of my new truck a bit too hard to deal with. I got 40 qt oil change, 4 filters (2...

Somebody at Nations was last night. I don't know if the van was loaded or not, but it breezed up Fancy Gap Mountain at a steady 65 MPH with me right behind it--(470 HP D Unit.) I had to let him go to get by some big trucks, so I backed off to be safe. He was there fueling at Wytheville, VA...

Yes, one can make out like a bandit using mileage deduction (if legal.) Do we need to warm up Rich's jail cell at San Quentin?:7 I'm not so sure. Taking mileage deduction says the truck is part of a business or corporation. Depreciation says the truck IS the business. As Rich made it through...

Wingrider, I'll take it you are running for A-D. You MUST know Mike Coppersmith (aka Mikecop) and have seen his stretched class 8 International cabover there. I think that's along the lines of what you need at A-D. -Weave-

WHY can't I think of anything positive? Maybe you can build on these negative mottos for the expedite saying: (God what people will do for that toy van!) ...These were the mottos in my head for FedEx CC when I ran for them.. "We Complicate the Uncomplicated" "Don't Expect Much, and You Won't...

Yes, the bigger expedite companies kiss the ground "e" units drive on. Why? Simply put, as far as trucks go to them, the bigger the better for the same effort on their part. They know just about any size or weight expedite load will fit in a 53 footer. The expense of operating the unit is...

Great article. I think the Jeff Jones spec'ed KW's are great expedite trucks. I tested one this past spring and wanted to buy one. But, you gotta have BIG bucks up front. (Like in the neighborhood of $15-20 grand). I think that's a big reason why Jeff still had 4 of his original 10 2001 T300...
