That info will be published for all after the truck is on the road.

>You want this done correctly the first time. I recommend >G-Tec in Detroit Michigan there number is 313-841-1633 or >1-800-322-4832. Good luck with your new big truck. The point about "done correctly the first time" is a good one. I've often wondered what "done correctly" really means...

When we drove a fleet owner's reefer truck, we used it as a climate-controlled gym for working out. That worked at truck stops where showers were available. We're not in a reefer truck now but will be soon - this time in a truck of our own. We plan to make physical fitness a top priority then...

I would not assume for a moment that threats to national security and our personal security come only from or even mostly from outside the borders of the U.S. The Oklahoma bombing was done by two died-in-the-wool U.S. citizens. In the 60's, a host of bombings and acts now referred to terrorist...

If you run with a carrier that has a lot of reefer freight the CR/D choice is not all that problematic. But if you are with a carrier that has only limited reefer freight CR may be the wrong way to go. If you are running for anyone other than FedEx Custom Critical White Glove Services, you might...
