If you like the truck, I would say the price is in the right range. Of course the cheaper you can get it, the better the deal. My only thought is the shortening of the frame. It is no big job anymore, but, if not done by a quality tech, it can turn out to be a nightmare. I would not be afraid of...

Most of your older class 7 trucks will have Cummins or Cat. I have driven both but only owned one with a Cat 3126. My experience was the Cat got better fuel mileage (10 -11 mpg) and gave less trouble. But when it did have problems, mechanics didn't like to work on them. And the repair costs were...

I am not dual at present, but am retired with 33 years service from BellSouth (now AT&T). Expedited for 2 1/2 years before back problems have me sitting it out for awhile. Can't wait to get back to it. bjb

Within my 59 years upon this earth, I have put many miles on the ole "binders". I drove them at my 33 year job and then have owned them as O/O. Until recently, they have always been a rough tough ugly work truck. I guess they were the last to spiff up the interior for more comfort. Not that...

Also, Fed-Ex, UPS and some other biggies use rail to return empty trailers to areas that don't have much return freight. This option in my opinon, does save them money on returning empties. bjb

Can this be done safely? Are these type of batteries designed not to put off fumes inside a vehicle?

Huh? I had my class B cdl for three weeks when I bought my straight truck. I had no problems getting insurance. Never asked if I had any driving experience. Only asked if I had money. bjb

There are things we could do, but I don't see a single person in the up coming election that would be willing to do it with us. And if they would, how many of us could they get to back them. Truckers have the power to get this country's attention if they so desired. How many do you know who...

She had a never ending source for sure.

Now there is a man who is always thinking! Good one Rich.

I would consider 600 miles ideal for a solo. May wind up fudging your log a few minutes. I would say the average run I teamed on would probably be around 900 to 1100 miles. Of course there is always that "one" that takes you way out there somewhere. I would guess every carrier would probably...

Good idea! I got your back! Where do I sign up?

Strange that after 7 posts, nobody has mentioned it might be the money offered for driving. After all, if you can't afford your own truck, then you turn to the highest paying owner. Course this is just my thoughts.

In other words, no one has a clue what it is!

If trucking is in your blood, you have to see these babies. Thanks for sharing that link with us. Very interesting! :) :)

Hi all, This is my first ever post here at this forum. I have been reading posts from time to time, but never registered until today. I just wanted to verify what riverrat said about the drug Chantix. I smoked for 49 years and thought there would never be a way for me to quit the horrible...
