    Tire pressure

    They are basically a type of "quick connect" air fitting that threads on as a valve cap. You can air up and check pressures through them (don't have to take them off).

    Tire pressure

    Do you run Alligator valve caps? It may seem hokey but these things were the best bit of tire program I ever used. Saved a ton of time checking and inflating at service but most importantly they really cut down on air loss. Bout a buck a piece.

    Tire pressure

    Michelin always told me it was better to be over inflated on the trip south than it was to be under inflated and heavy loaded back north. We ran the fleet at 100 psi (Mainly Michelin fleet) and The mechanics were told to start checking tire pressures within 10 minutes of bring the truck into...

    Your Company Doesn't Care

    Your Price per Mile

    Sounds like a good tool to use for projections for sure!! While nights method works very well, it also requires the seasoned veteran perspective that not all of us have if you need to figure out why the number is what it is. Add me to the list pjjjjj.

    Security Tape

    Not a solution to remove residue but it solves the problem, Have 2 pieces of stainless mounted one on each door, opposite of one another, have the shipper put his sticky seal paper on that. That way you can buff off any crap and it won't look bad. Ive seen these seals on the hinge side of the...

    HELP Please : How to get there : NYC

    Whoops, my bad. When he asked about truck parking in Jersey I thought he was going to park first and then car it to NYC. I also think that driving a Sprinter has made me forget about "big trucks" Guess Moot is right, Ban the Van!

    I found it on Saturday, it's pretty much at the exit (NY side) of the Lincoln Tunnel.

Center is at the corner of 34th and NY9A (12th Ave, Joe D highway or...
