That's great that operators want this information, makes better professional business owners. The best ROI I have is my brother. When he got his CPA, he gave my dad a huge ROI on his investment. That investment has really given me a great return as well.:D:D

I hope I haven't given anyone bad advise. I would never tell someone not to get into trucking because trucking has been good to me over the last 40 yrs but I guess the only answer to that is daahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Just another old time trucker that doesn't know any better. The only advise I...

Well that eliminated the drive shaft. It might be an electronic throttle control sensor like was earlier mentioned. Can't believe the tech did not test for that, but techs get paid by the job and a tranny pays more than the sensor???????:confused:

J.R. When you say shudder what exactly do you mean?? Do you feel it in the whole truck?? or only when your throttle up?? Make sure the drive shaft is true and inline. If that center support bearing is off just a little it will shake the van and only do it at certain speeds. Been there, done...

By golly Chef "YOUR HIRED".:D:D

Tip?? What's that?? The only thing close is when I had a D unit I picked up a Jet engine at the Indianapolis Airport and ran it down to N.C to replace one that quit. When I got there the mechanic said, since I ran it straight threw would I like to take the old one back?? I thought that was...

Samo, Samo, If I'm 200 or less miles from the house, I'm gone. Doesn't do any good to dead head home and leave out in one day, if going home I'm going to take some time.;)

One day I will figure out how to attach pictures. Anyway Almost there, I84 Idahooooo fixing to cross into Oregooon. Went through some really bad weather hope it's better after the turn around.

Eddie has a great point. Even though you are debt free, do you have cash on hand to pay for, let's say transmission?? $5,000 give or take plus towing. (Join a road club and save the towing). What works for some won't work for you. Like the chef said, who have you talked to that they're...

If you look at what Recruiters are doing is recruiting from other companies. They want experienced drivers and that's the only place to find them. That's why no jobs in the I wanta job category. Almost no one wants to train people because people really don't know what they are getting into...

You won't find her until she needs more.:D

I went back to check my paperwork. The Allison became available in 2006 in Extended 3500 only. L80 was in the 2500. The 6.6 engine was and still is rated at 250 but can be re-programed. You will get better fuel mileage if up graded to a 325 -350 hp if you keep your foot out of it. .

Don't know why they raised it three time since Numb Nuts got into office. What's one more??:mad:

I have owned a couple of those and they are good engines if you treat them right. Fuel mileage depends on the rear gear. If it's a 3.73 and you drive 62 -65 then you can expect at least 18-19 empty and about 17 loaded. The only thing I have against it with Allison transmission is the...

I would pay on receipt of paper work, direct deposit. I would also issue a debit card to contractors to speed up pay. Not a fuel card but a debit.

That is a long week for #E-1:D

On the way to Oregon from S.Carolina and back. Keep an eye on the weather, it was terrible in Oklahoma yesterday, better today with rain, rain, rain. Well back at it. See ya on the next break.

Lot of people wanting to know about super singles, load capacity verses fuel mileage, speed verses fuel economy. Read this link this morning, lots of good info. Bridgestone Commercial Truck Tires

I once ran US 2 from Wisconsin through Montana back about a hundred years or so. That was great. Lots of roads, lots of country. Right now the panhandle of Texas on 287, taking a break and changing drivers. Heading up through the panhandle and the smell of natural gas in the air and...

Out of hundreds of Expediters, why is it that I only see one person not getting paid?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
