    Here in the Ozarks Diesel was $3.00 -$3.10 last year. You will have a hard time finding it for $3.38 or even $3.48 around here now. Unless you want to run "Farm Diesel"

    If the cost of Diesel is ONLY 38% more then this time last year, does this mean the Large oil Companies will not have another RECORD PROFIT for their last quarter?

    Buying a truck

    When I bought my first horse, my Vet told me "No one's your friend when buying a horse" might be the same with a used vehicle. Especially if your not real familiar with the type of rig your after.

    Thank you to all. I have found a Fleet owner on this site who has been very generous with his time and knowledge of the In's & outs of what to expect. Also I don't anticipate going for a Straight Truck before March of 2009.

    One angry trucker

    It would seem to me if you try and Blind the vehicle coming at you, your asking this Vehicle to just maybe end up in your lane which doesn't seem to smart.

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?
