Sharp is correct. It was my understanding that you had the correct tires prior to the problem. Davekc

Not sure, but it may be an issue with van loads. My drivers arrived this morning in Charlotte and left within a hour from Orangeburg to Sterling Hts Mich. Hang in there as we are approaching the busy season. They are running a straight truck instead of a van. Sometimes the requirement for a...

Most KW and Peterbuilt dealers have them. Call the one closest to you and ask them. We use the KW dealer in Jacksonville FL. They are very good and reasonably priced. If they do the repair, the cost of the machine is free. Most others operate on that same principle. With what you have mention...

My experience with all the different map programs is they take alittle finesse to get them just perfect. Raceman; let us know what you think after you have it mastered a little. Davekc

There is always a fine line between servicing the customer, and turning a profit. As operating and fuel costs keep climbing, the savvy driver has to determine where that line is. It starts with knowing what it costs to run your truck. Short loads can be great if they keep you in the freight...

That is why they are called a fleece. I have yet to ever see a lease/purchace agreement that benefits the driver. Of course, there may be an exception, but I have never seen it. Great advise on seeking legal council prior to entering into any agreement like this. Davekc owner 20 years

Thankfully, the wife does as well:7 Davekc

You are correct. Attention to detail is everything. With regards to the front end, make sure they put it on a suspension machine. Issues with bushings,bearings, and king pins will be found with this test. A visual won't tell you too much. Davekc

RE: Slow?one more thing... Only calling it like I see it. Davekc

That would be good. Many might have an interest. He should put it in the EO classifieds Davekc

RE: Slow?one more thing... Miko wrote I just want to be home once a week, at least for a day. I hate to be discouraging but it seems based on your post, you may want to consider air freight or local P&D. Going to a larger truck with the same company and your criteria, will only make you go...

What a mess... one statement there made me curious... he drilled a hole in the roof??????? What was THAT for? A personalized weather channel. How would you know if it was day or night, or if it was raining? I am warming my cordless drill up now:7 Davekc

Part of it is alignment. You need a shim adjustment on the rear. Depending on milage the front could be a couple of things. True the front tires and change the shocks. If there is no pull in the steering but the cupping starts to return after several thousand miles, then the neoprene bushings...

Broompilot wrote Is this Toe or Camber, seems to me it is Toe as the tire seems to be pulling inward but is flat along the bottom in other words tire is even but just noticed it is choppy when rubbing my hand around it. Drives only, one rear outside seems to be wearing on the edge more Help me...

If the option is available, go with linoleum. We have that, and just use bathroom rugs. They can be laundered in the truck stop and be replaced if need be at Walmart. If you already have carpet, get a few rug hooks and put them (bathroom rugs) over your existing carpet (can be cut for exact...

Any run can be profitable as long as you know what it costs to run your truck. I can't say enough for knowing the freight lanes your company is running and keeping empty miles as low as possible. If for example your company can't produce loads from the west coast, don't go there unless you can...

This truck was dropped off at 3:30 in the morning. I know why. He had no plans of being there when I saw it. It was just unreal. I see many notes on here about owners screwing drivers. Well here is an example of where a decent owner that tries his best to treat drivers like good honest people...

I heard of a simular issue but can't remember who the unit was made by. They need one that goes 8 hours at maximum cool without a charge. The other question would be, how often do you have to replace batteries. Apparently they have a pretty good draw. Maybe the manufacturer could relay the...

Amen!

Could be You still need 60 percent of the gross revenue regardless Davekc
