    Landstar

    TJ..If you do decide to change companys you will do fine at Landstar. I was with the company for 5 years and always achieved my goals! If you really want to work, commit yourself to being out there on the road for more than a week at a time like some drivers think they can get away with you will...

    Truck wings or box cone?

    I would say the answer would be what is your budget? The Turbo Wing looks way cool and will help your fuel mileage by 1 mpg or so. Nose cones have been around for 25 years and work really well and are quite a bit less expensive and easier to install. A little silicone and a box of stainless...

My wife and I are looking at a Ford Crewcab diesel to pull a 18000 lb camper. When checking on sites such as Ebay you will see Ford 7.3 diesels with...

    South of the Border

    Hi "T" great hearing from you. You can certainly add another perspective to our industry. I'm sure you will be getting plenty of inquires. If you have the time could you explain how your industry south of the border works? How long do your runs take you? What kinda revenue can you make? Do you...

    Fuel Cost

    Friends out west say that Thursday is BOYCOTT FUEL DAY..If you can do it, sounds good. Be sure to pass it on to other Truckers, not just expediters.. I don't think me not buying 4.5 gallons for my 71 Volkswagon will impact anyone. However, long haul truckers can impact the oil industry, even if...

    "AUX. AXELS #2 "

    I came from a heavy haul operation years ago, working for All Erection Crane out of Cleveland Ohio. The rules have always been you cannot control the axle from the drivers seated position, some states said it had to be mounted outside the cab of the truck. Ours where mounted behind the drivers...

    clink (computer) vs pager

    I think sometimes playing by the rules is better for everyone. You don't want to get yourself in a position to have a service failure because you where too far away for timely pickup. I tried beating the system and the system usually beat me! We all know the rules, and even if we don't like...

    RE: Would love to drive or co-drive during 2 week Hi future expeditor.. As you may have read in the past postings driving for a contractor before taking the plunge to purchase your own truck is a very safe and smart idea. Talking with drivers and owners on the road helps, and sometimes confuses...

    Fuel Systems

    I have friends that have tried both of the systems with mixed results. One says no difference in mileage, but the truck runs smoother with more power and the other says that he gained 1 mpg only. He was getting 4.5 to 5.1 mpg so this was a big deal! Buying quality fuel and avoiding the dealers...

    Does anyone have a fax machine in their truck?

    We used or laptop with aircard from verizon to E-Fax from truck, worked very well, as long as you didn't loose signal. Staying still is important for locked signal strength. We also had scanner/copier in truck for those shippers that only give you one copy of BOL. :)
