    Air Shocks on Class 8 "D" Truck

    Who me? NO I had 12k axles on the trucks I ordered, but the trucks were rated below 10k GVW. The reason I added leaves was because we always loaded them to capacity when we would clean out a warehouse or store and always busted springs on one truck.

    I-75 closed at 9 mile in Hazel Park, MI

    I heard no one was really hurt, there were three people taken to the hospital and quickly released. The tanker was hit by the car, which was in the left lane and lost control hitting the tanker. The tanker tractor 'disconnected' from the trailer and moved out of the way of the tanker which...

    cut-a-way van safety

    Are you sure? If there was a place to cut cost on fleet vehicles, it would be an air bag but the van i had and the others I worked on all had air bags.

    Air Shocks on Class 8 "D" Truck

    But here Guido, I am not talking about leafs in the springs but air shocks......... and air bags.... :D Using an air shock, to replace the regular shock removes the damping effect of the shock. The OEM shock has a specific valving that allows the shock to react to the 'vibration' of the axle...

    Air Shocks on Class 8 "D" Truck

    Read this; Air shocks are not shocks, they don't have the ability to control movement in the suspension system because they are an medium pressure air cylinder and nothing else. AND The use of air bags which give added support to the frame for any given load, is recommended over any thing...

    Health Care A Right?

    You're right Leo, the doctors are the smallest part of the problem but with that said, I do not want them to decide what health coverage that I will get. The doctor in much of the US has zero to do with claims or knowing what is covered - the office manager usually the one in charge of that...

    Health Care A Right?

    Alternative? Seriously? OK here is what can be done right now. Eliminate mandates. meaning Insurance companies are forced to pay for certain things. Let them decide what they will pay for so they can run the business as a business, not as an extension of Medicare. Eliminate Medicare for...

    barry is really 119 yrs old???

    Actually minds far greater than ours have looked into this and it has been determined that something must be right to take a legal risk in congress by allowing a non-citizen to become president - in other words I can not believe that they would let this pass with the republicans in congress...

    Obama: "Failure was intentional"

    Well it really don't matter anyways because the summer break is coming up, the congress will return home and hear the b*tching from the constituents who are p*ssed off, especially those who lost their jobs thanks to it. The congressman or senator will not have the opertuinity to explain what...

    barry is really 119 yrs old???

    Actually the ramifications are not as severe as one would think. The first thing is every bill he signed, every EO and every policy would be up for review by the congress and the supreme court. The second thing would be we would now have president Biden in office and at that point I will...

    Expedited drivers – a hot commodity?

    Employee attitude - When a person thinks he is an employee of the company and acts accordingly. They do not understand or refuse to understand what their contract is all about, where they are in the food chain in the company and don't want to do much more than what is required of them even if...

    Freightliner, Hino, Sterling

    Ford was bought by Daimler, not Freightliner. The name belongs(ed) to White or Volvo-White trucks but they didn't lay claim to it when Daimler was asking for the name. The production of Sterling seems to be going on somewhere but because of the cross over into Freightliner's territory, there...

    This is from the comments part of that post. By Paulthiel1 Maybe someone (especially some of our "progressive" friends) can help me. Here is what I need to do to hire a US worker: Interview a variety of people to make sure I am in compliance with EEOC regulations. After I find someone, I...

    transtewart

    I thought it was the law that the carrier has to disclose the amount they charge a customer - any customer. An open door policy is when you can go to the CEO and b*tch about a problem, anything less is not an open door policy.

    Can ya find it?

    Just the interference of the treasury department on the behalf of the administration is illegal, let alone the administration directing the judge in the procedure reeks of an ethics issue. The entire debacle from the loan agreements to the part ownership of the company by three...
