    Best states to buy diesel

    That's all the list does... shows the most cost efficient state. Sure you'll have to go down the road to determine what price is better. I suggest going online and checking it out before you take off from the shipper, if you're not sure. These five (minus one) are sure bets. I've always made it...

    Best states to buy diesel

    Broom was telling me the other day that he heard on XM - Kevin Rutherford - the five best states to buy diesel... but he could only remember four of them. LOL These states have the best cost vs IFTA return, or best bang for the buck. PA - reasonable cost, very high IFTA. NC - good price, high...

    Just got a 3000/6000. Ebay definitely beats the truckstope! $167.50 + 11 for shipping. I wanted something bigger so I could run an ac fridge on it, as well as a microwave, tv, computer, etc. Does anyone run an ac fridge in their truck? I heard they take less to run than one of those coleman...

    this is something to think about!

    It's an urban legend... http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran911.asp Here's what it really says: [9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Here's an idea for knowing the true salt of this owner... Tell him you're charging $100 to clean the truck. He's getting a bargain compared to having it detailed. His answer should give you a good idea of how fair this guy is. Don't be afraid to find someone else to drive for, if you need to...

    Another owner not on top of his game. Does the word slumlord fit here? He can swear up and down it was the former driver's fault. But who put that body in the truck? And did he care enough to do a periodic check himself? And didn't he start wondering when either there were no reciepts for either...

    Driving solo for an owner ...

    Dave... I totally agree with you. That wasn't quite what I was getting at, but you gave good advice. The owner I ran for was fine. Kept his nose out of everything and let me run. I'll just say that the engine going changed everything. I'll give a little advice here. Owners should have money...

    Driving solo for an owner ...

    I recently got out of THE LAST truck I drove that I don't own. Won't do it again! Won't say no one else should do it. For me, it's too much out of my control... like getting paid on time. You could have a good owner; but when things go south, you don't know what they're capable of. Truck...

    Hard hats and safety glasses

    Depends on what your truck is like for storage, and where you put whatever items. I have a century, and my stuff goes in the top cubbyhole in the cab. I tend not to use safety glasses, as I wear regular glasses. The two just don't fit at the same time. If you're worried about scratches, I would...

    Question for Panther O/Os who booked there own loa

    RE: Question for Panther O/Os who booked there own I totally understand that. What I'm saying is with a little research and a few phone calls, you'll be prepared to conquer any glitch that may come up on a backhaul. Just knowing where to look is the hardest problem. And if you have an internet...
