    Class 8 Expediter Trucks

    Any idea if those numbers are published anywhere? I neglected to point out I was referring to the W900S with the sloped hood. The way the word it, it sounds like that models wheel cut is improved by 4 degrees by moving the steering gear forward but I don't know the actual numbers

    Class 8 Expediter Trucks

    Kind of an old post by now but......... Everything else being equal, how much worse is a W9 vs a T8 or 660? Say you compare two trucks that are 39ft OAL, extended cab, 28ft box, one is a W9 with 300"WB and the other a T8 with a 275"WB...............how much worse is the W9

    Canada FAST card

    Douglas, BC (Blaine, WA) have recently installed a FAST booth for NB traffic so I don't see it going away. Trouble is FAST traffic often cannot get to the FAST both as there are only two approach lanes which dump into the two non FAST lanes. Supposedly the left one is for FAST traffic only but...

    coe expediter anyone?

    I have FF as well and mine was doing the same for a few days - couldn't even scroll over to see what was there but it looks fine now. IMO - if one is spending (big) $$$ on a new truck, I don't want something that's always making noises it shouldn't. How many Dodge Ram pickups would they sell...

    coe expediter anyone?

    NOT a glider? So removing the automatic makes that 96ish................so how do these things last? Have they got all the same bugs that other FL's have, or more/less? Rattles, shakes and other cab noise? Does it suck getting in and out of one numerous times a day?

    coe expediter anyone?

    You can still get an Argosy but I think only in a glider. What I want to know is do they shaked rattle and fall apart like other FL's do? Do you have to stand back when the door is opened to keep from getting wacked by the stairs? What's the ride like?

    Free Samples

    Depends on the company but I'd say not uncommon at all, there is chocolate factory around here that has a "trucker box" with sample chocolate's and cookie/chocolate combo's. Same thing at a screwdriver manufacturer that's always giving me samples. I pick up at a rope factory and they have a...

    Cargo Box

    Are they those recessed ones that sit flush when folded? I carry empty skids (for exchange or return) a couple of times a week and thought a row of the down the centre would make then easier to keep in place.

    Here's a funny one (except if you get to pay the ticket) that was just on the local news. Grays Harbor deputy writes $17,000 ticket Thursday, February 14, 2008 1:28 PM PST By The Associated Press Print Printable version E-mail E-mail this article 6 comment(s) Font Size: MONTESANO...

    Cat 3126 question

    I do that daily as the oil pressure drops to 25lbs if left at idle, usually around 900-1000 works nicely and as a bonus the Freightshaker smooths out noticeably at 1000. What bugs me is having to reset the set speed every time I shut down.

    K&N air filter for Sprinters

    GM performance parts cold air kits are now coming with dry pleated filters for that exact reason, contaminated MAF sensors. Had the same issue with my Ford Ranger, it had a detonation problem at highway speeds which would go away after spraying the MF sensor with carb cleaner but it would soon...

    Truck Length

    So you're saying MN deems it legal on an Interstate or State Route but not surface streets? The reason I say that is the truck we now use (which will be replaced with the new one) operates locally between greater Vancouver and about 25 miles into WA state doing LTL for a customs broker. There...

    Truck Length

    What lift are you using and can you post some pix? I can't think of a tuck under lift that still allows for a DOT bumper. That was one of the reasons for looking to a railgate, also to allow hitch to be fitted.

    Truck Length

    Phil - no worries about tone, I asked looking for exactly the experience I know is out there. Now some questions to your comments. Are you saying there is another reg stating that the exclusions do not apply to straight trucks and if so could you point out what that reg is? Do you know how...

    Truck Length

    Just having a read through exclusions to length measurement to stay under 40ft. - As I read the list it seems that a rear mounted lift (such as a railgate) would NOT be included in the measurement. Anyone agree or disagree with this interpretation...
