Inspired by a few ridiculous posts on equipment...to new operators... Research all you can and take things you hear with a grain of salt. Learn all you can about the vehicle you own/insurance and legal requirements before you buy, and get in the habit of performing an inspection before each...

To anybody new viewing threads, like tires, brakes, front-end, etc. If you are new to the business, you may get the wrong idea from some of the things I've posted. If you are not a mechanic, in the interest of safety, go with 2 or 3 opinions at different shops to help make a determination. My...

Buy a cheap straight truck and park it when it gets cold (or head south) I can't imagine you earning anywhere close to good rates no matter how much stuff you cram in there BTW whatever you have for insurance is null and void. Read your policy on commercial, you're not covered - people on here...

Sounds better than mine...once your deep cycles are in, there's many ways to hook em up but I always include the ability to have them all connected for cranking (never had a winter no start, -44 even) The delay in firing is probably it calling the EPA for permission to idle:D

If there was none in the cab, you're not trying hard enough;)

Had a 500 dollar run 4 hours ago, but I had to say no because wife was out pokemoning. I see a 3 week trip in my future. As it is I have to bring rice cooker and canned chili till the next pay. It was 1000 miles, so I can congratulate myself on not running for a cheap customer, too bad I can't...

Agh, that's a lot of work. Back to the board over the front seats idea:D My espar heating the cab would probably be best experienced from the cab
