    HOW do big rig drivers do it?

    Amazing! Roadway and Yellow deserve each other! My point was that most brake jobs are done per axle and a typical LTL linehaul setup is 2 or 3 single axle pups and 1 or 2 single axle dollies, resulting in 3 to 5 trailing axles with various brake wear. A typical tandem axle trailer would...

    Should I hang in there or move on to another Carrier

    The vast majority of E.O. members are single truck O/O's, drivers or wannabe drivers. I find it refreshing to get a company owner's (former company owner) take on things. You could put the Colonel on ignore but you would be reducing the number of active E.O. members that are company owners or...

    Shore Power

    Do you mean that this E-1 Sprinter driver may have been stealing electricity? They had placed a piece of plywood over the extension cord to prevent people from tripping over it. That was certainly considerate of them. Maybe this was a team in the Sprinter and one or both drivers had to spend a...

    HOW do big rig drivers do it?

    I agree, I have never pulled triples, plenty of doubles though! Another problem with multiple trailers is the lag time for braking from the tractor to the last axle. Also every axle in the combination has different wear on the brake shoes.

    HOW do big rig drivers do it?

    I can drive a van, straight truck or tractor/trailer on ice and snow doing 80 mph without a problem, until some steering or braking input is required. I don't have much experience with straight trucks but I have driven them enough to know that a single axle straight truck with some weight over...

    Installing a Webasto

    In November I delivered two pallets of Phillips/Temro heaters, both block and cab, to Wolf Oilfield Services in Berthold, ND. The supplier screwed up the order and it was a couple of months late. The guy in charge of trucks at Wolf bought heaters from another supplier and was rather surprised...

    I saw an Express 1 Sprinter backed up to the front of a Pilot today. An electrical extension cord ran out the back door of the Sprinter to an outlet behind the package ice machine. Is this a new program offered to E-1 drivers by Pilot?
