Have not been following EO of late ATeam is STILL building the ultimate truck??? Some things never change. After nearly two years it is still a topic. Primarily because most of us can't grasp the concept of sending a man to the moon in less time than this supposed truck build. Like you, many...

C units at Panther pay 1.10 plus FSC. Davekc

112 is considered a class 8. It should have all class 8 warranties as well. If not, then it is a 7 with some 8 components. Match warranties with a Century or Columbia. They should be the same. Davekc

If you search the EO archives you will find many threads dealing with this topic. Alot of items to consider if traveling down this road. Davekc

Truck will be too old eventually to drive so I quess a bathroom is a good addition. Maybe plants some trees and shrubs as well. I quess it does give meaning to the nation being his backyard. I hadn't considered that. Davekc

That was a beautiful touching story. I am still not sure how that translates into a nearly two year old truck build? Seems like the truck would have little value upon completion because of the age. Davekc

All of the refineries readily admit that economy will suffer with the winter blends. Short of keeping your truck in top shape, the options are few. Some additives with anti-gel may give a cleaner burn, but that is about it. Davekc

What about tire checks every 3 hours for nonhazmat loads or is that not considered a stop!!!!!!!!!! Might be a tough sell on this kind of load because that is not a DOT requirement. The whole thread would give meaning of a review of insurance if hauling Fedex white glove. With all the...

OK No problem. I was kinda lost on that one, and never had one of our drivers request it. Davekc

You would think. Moving fuel tanks and other modifications would seem needed to keep the front end at the appropriate weight. I as well was curious as to how this "engineering" team made modifications in order for it to haul a load. It would seem like it would have alot of limitations. Davekc

After nearly two years of posts, ATeam should at least tell us how that high dollar Volvo finally turned out. You would think that the value has really been affected through the passage of time. It would be of value to the new folks as to whether it pays to have a team of "high level engineers"...

Interesting. I liked the Michelin for drives but they constantly cupped on the steers without alot of rotating and truing. Put Bridgestones on and never had a problem since. I think the corners are of harder rubber and grooved differently. Davekc

I am starting to see a wave of new foreign tires enter the market. Truck tires like Vesta (made in China) sold through General. I see some information on Toyo and Yokahama ect. My question is, is anyone running these, and how well do they hold up? Cheaper yes, but how is their durability? We...

would like to get everyone's opinon about the plant closures and layoffs at GM and how it will affect the expediting business. I know that many expediters made their money hauling car parts around the country and with GM downsizing, will this affect the level of business to the point that some...

Had a question about when we buy our new truck, if you had 20grand to put down on a truck would that be wise to do so or is that too much, and if we do decide to put that much money down, should we ask for money off the price of the truck or ask for extras? our criteria for the truck would be...

We are pretty close to what is listed thus minumal turnover. But what advantage is a Sam's Club card to a driver? Most of that stuff is bulk items. Maybe someone can educate me. I have a card there, but buy little as the prices are sometimes higher or the same as the regular Wal-Mart. Just...

Something to consider. It really pays to know exactly what your insurance is. Another member tried to convince me that having a liftgate and reefer doing white glove is the same as other expedite with regards to insurance. Additional liability and standard commercial truck insurance is higher...

There is alot of information with regards to fleet owners in the EO archives. Some good and some bad. Reputation and experience are the two biggest items I would be looking for. Other items are equally important such as, timely settlements with statements from the carrier and the owner. Not just...
