What's the theory behind that lane................Canadian Army truck only lane? :)

Here is an interesting twist to cell phones, driving and the baning thereof. As of July 1st it is now illegal (secondary) in WA state to even hold a phone will driving. Last week I come out of Canada headed for my first drop to Fedex less than one mile over the border. I get to the street I...

Interesting stuff, although I must admit that when I asked - for some reason I was thinking along the lines of: fork truck enters box - LG not down, fork truck and big truck fall down, although that doesn't seem very likely. That walk around would have caught a left open roll up door I will...

DO tell the story behind this one. :)

In BC you couldn't insure your pickup truck annually for that. LOL I have both, live in the states and work in Canada.

LOL - the can drivers around here like doing that. How much weight does a set add?

Actually the figures I gave were for the two current trucks we are running and both trucks are plated in Ontario, even though they are based out of Washington state and run around 80% BC/20% WA With only 2 trucks in the fleet being out west I am looking at changing that to WA plates for two...

Just wondering what are the better companies to look for general truck insurance, everything but cargo - company carries their own on Cargo. It would be on one 24-28' straight truck, tandems, likely class 8 and for one Chevy/GMC cutaway with 16' box. Are rates based on the class/size/weight...

Well this one is headed downhill. :) No funny names but funny stories. A couple years ago down at the bow hill scale they busted this TT, total fines ran about $3500 as I recall. Some of the violations were: 5 people in the cab, (East Indian descent) all of them having the same (name) on...

What's the reason for the landing gear requirement...........forklift or ?

Are any of these figures for cutaway's with a 80-something inch wide box or could someone who has one chime in?

What about checking a salvage yard for an aluminum version?

Ya but I'll be he was either empty or running light - I'd say most of those trucks don't get loaded all that much, the most you can get in them is about 330hp and from what I've seen they just don't hold up and the resale on them stinks. My M2/3126 will do "ok" on a hill if I can get a run at...

Thanks, I always like to keep my eyes and ears open, see what people are using, what works and what doesn't - but it doesn't make deciding any easier. :) I may pay that floral outfit a visit next time I'm in the area and see if I can get a better look at that Dutch slider and maybe find out...

BUgger, I was gonna say that :) Ever heard of PRTI? Pacific Rim Transport Inc which went: "Please Return To India" LOL. It changed to BTT, Bridge Terminal Transport (both were/are can haulers) which isn't so fun.

Found a little better shot of one of their trucks with a trailer, not the fuel tank on the trailer.

For some interesting reading about how the weight affects axle weights take a look at page 46 of the T300 Body builder manual. http://www.kenworth.com/brochures/T300_Body_Builder_Manual.pdf I stumbled upon this the other day looking for other dimensions. It not only gies some useful...

Saw it a second time the other day, and I think it is shown on a local body builders site - this looks like the same truck.

For those using a lift, what brand, style of lift do you have? What do you like/not like about it and why? I see the tuck under seems the most common, but what about a railgate or slider - anyone using one of those?

Ah, I see - I do that when rolling but never gave it much thought from a stop.
