    proper tire pressure on vans?

    I've always ran my tires (trucks, vans pickups, cars, Trailers) at whatever was stamped on the tire. Longer life and better fuel mileage. A tire that flexes is one that is using energy, if the tire will handle 80, run it. Michelin XPS Ribs I had on the front of one pickup went 264,000 miles...

    This is kinda weird

    If you can train him to sit in the center at the front, and hang on, he would make a hell of a hood ornament. Maybe teach him to flap his wings on the hills for a little extra umpf!

    Anyone else heard this?

    Talked to a Nations guy in Buffalo Saturday, if they are in trouble he seemed oblivious to it. He talked about the pay frequency changing but he was still running fairly well he said considering the economy.

    Speed Limiters

    You're fine there Joe. The rule was aimed at getting rid of some of the Tri and Quad axle trailer setup's that got popular up here, specifically the 35 foot tri dump trailer.

    Speed Limiters

    Schneider Quoting Rates at $0.69 per mile.

    While it may be survival mode tactics, here is a thought. You run at a loss and drive the little guys out of business. In the process you incur a LOT of debt. The little guys or other competition go away now you start to raise your rates. You need to raise them to not only return to...

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I might be wrong here, but wouldn't WG customers be the first folks to get ****y if their loads got cross-docked. No Pom Pom's, but I think FX is being proactive here to ensure the customer gets good service, perhaps other companies are just waiting to "react" to whatever problems non...

    Looking for some info on fed-ex cc

    Ask for numbers for a Canadian guy, pjjjj is 100% right, it is very different for a Canadian guy. You will sit more than the average person on here as you gotta wait for a Canadian load home, this can also increase your DH mileage as you may have to run further to get it. A carrier with a good...
