    Too bad that so many drivers who aren't aware of their surroundings or just cant plainly back up without hitting something screw it up for the rest of us.I mean, c'mon, someone can't see a tree when backing up? They shouldnt be driving in the first place.

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    I feel honored that I confused you-LOL. For some unknown reason, the truck was setup with 44k rears, and a 20k front, even though the alignment shop (a very reputable shop right in your neighborhood)said the front taperleaf spring setup was rated for only 12k, according to the Ford...

    Air Leak or what?

    The crap that most likely resembles gray pudding coming from your air tanks is a result of a worn out air compressor.The rings are bad in it, allowing antifreeze and oil to mix up, thus giving you the gray sludge pudding stuff coming from your air tanks.It most likely is contaminating everything...

    The K-W W-900 with the 600 Cummins and the 18-speed. I saw that truck at Freightliner of Knoxville.It was a beautiful truck, well equipped with the finest options, Willis generator, liftgate, etc.I seriously considered that truck, but 2 things killed that idea really quick.The 18-speed stick...

    My downfall while being at the Petro there has always been the restaurant as well as the chrome shop.I always enjoyed staying there.But in the summer time I enjoy the J area because there are several spots that I have found where I can put the truck in the shade, making it more enjoyable while...

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    To answer the fuel capacity question: It was a Sterling Silver Star and it was a tractor that, yes, had 2-200 gallon tanks on it.With the way I used to run renegade,that was a blessing as I could run almost coast to coast without fueling,which helped me make the logbook work to accomodate...

    Covert a class 8 tractor to straight truck

    There are so many opions on this as to what is better.I actually think it should be what is better for the application and drivers needs. I have always had single-axle straight trucks(T-300, FL-70,4900,etc) And did just fine with those single axles.I went and bought a class 8 tractor...

    Sprinter Repair Costs

    Any one have a link for this Fomoto valve? I may put one on my slopbucket.Does it restrict the flow of oil coming out of the pan? I had something similar on my one truck, and it took forever for the 48 qts to drain compared to the pull the plug method.

    Imagine the fuel surcharge on the shipping charges getting stuff delivered out to Bison, S.D. I bet the UPS guy has a cot in his truck for a 10-hour break after a drive out there!!! Or would it be easier to get groceries and supplies air-dropped to your house by a Huey?

    Ford E350 Unicell Sleeper

    I did a load transfer from a Fed Unicell van onto mine, and he had an awesome setup.I was really impressed with the unicell and how he had it set up.It was a Ford gasser,with 600,000 miles on it, and still ran and looked like new.He stated gas mileage in the high 15's.My next one will be either...

I have a freind who is constanly on the phone trying to get paid from small carriers as well as large.too much of a headache to deal with, as far as I'm concerned.Look at it this way.If it was so easy to do, then why does the...
