The need for a shower and toilet are great to have when you are baby sitting loads overnight, etc. Call Keith Bentz at 1-800-664-bunk, for a brochure if you would want to see some options...

    Load Securement

    Your right about protecting the freight! It's your responsibility to make sure no damage happens while the freight is in your posession. Inspect it before loading and make notes on bills and advise dispatch before ever leaving the shipper. Load bars are used to set the freight in the truck often...

    Truck Spec opinions

    actually the weight is 6 lbs per square inch in most states. Glad you've not had a problem yet. Watch out for Mississippi they are looking at 12,200 lbs for front axle weight with a 11R 22.5 tire even though it is "g" rated at 7700 lbs per tire, go figure!

    Converting a class 8 3 axle to a straight truck

    RE: Converting a class 8 3 axle to a straight truc Hey good question! Try centering the tandem on your box. Or better yet get with your dealer and run a water weight calculation with the setback of your front axle, fuel tank capacity, driver and co-driver weights, liftgate, and personal...

    Need advice on ConWay NOW

    How about checking with dispatch, where they may need your unit? Maybe Chicago would be better for better loads etc.. ask dispatchers what can you do to help your situation..be honest with them and hopefully they'll be the same with you.

    Wi-Fi and computers

    At the company I was leased to FedEx Custom Critical, the computer was needed for information data downloading from our refrigerated freight box for customer quality assurance. So we went and purchased our first laptop, printer and scanner. The internet was a natural move next for information...

    Cab Overs

    Years ago, the cabover was my worst enemy! Hit a bump and hit the roof! The only reason to wear the seatbelt 30 years ago was to keep you from falling out of the truck!! Buy that long hood and be happy that the technology is was it is today...and never look back, or for that matter go backwards...

    gas vs. diesel

    Well here goes, everyone has a different opinion, and this is mine. I would buy diesel over gas everyday of the week. Fuel costs is only part of the reason. Maintenance, reliability, resale, cost per mile has always been in favor of diesel. The down side is initial cost. Can you afford the...

    replacement parts

    Navistar has always been pretty cool about using the same parts for years and having cross reference numbers to help with updates. They may not be the shiniest trucks, but they are durable, rebuildable, and for the most part relatively inexpensive. They have a great dealer network also, even if...
