Ever been to a yellow freight terminal up north? they have a drive-under roof scraper. It is in the shape of a "v", and when a driver drives under it, the hard rubber scrapers scrape the snow off to the sides, letting it fall down the side of the trailer. As far as the ice itself is concerned...

A rubber glove does real well for getting hair off or carpet and upholstery.That is what the detailers use when cleaning a car.You can find a box of these at home depot of lowes pretty cheap.Also works great when polishing wheels or working on the truck.

I personally prefer a petro or a kenworth dealer for a pm. not in so much of a hurry to get it done, so to speak.

guido4475 so he can chase them around the t/a parking lot in ontario with his remote-controlled helicopter.

All though I am a smoker, I am the pickiest smoker there is.I have not and will not smoke in my house.I do not want it smelling like an ashtray. The inside of my house is my sancuary.I can breath freely there.I smoke in the garage, outside, etc.In my truck I only smoke with the window open, up...

Good morning, everyone! I have went to a class 8 stretched from a class 7 and love it.It is far more durable.It does not slow down one bit or come out of 10th gear going through mountains such as jellico or fancy gap, loaded.my fuel mileage is around 8.2,even though I have gotten as high as...

I have to agree with Dave on this one.I used to have a Kenworth t-300 and absolutely loved it.It was not the fanciest one out there, but it was a great truck in every aspect.And the dealer support was awesome.Everything was fixed right the first time.And yes, the majority of the mechanics were...

And while were talking about bathroom experiences here, please let me say that I find those toilet lid liners to be a pain as well.How many times have I carefully placed the liner on the toilet seat,turn around, and get ready to sit down, only to have the toilet self-flush before i sit down...

A cattle prod works for me.

I am sure that they have some interesting stories to share (janitors). That is why i do my best to leave the room where I took a shower in as neat and clean as possible.And if the room was clean,and the attendant was helpful,I do not hesitate to leave a $5.00 bill on the counter as I leave...

yea, really. this one i gotta hear. and with the fancy high-dollar truck you have, phil, you mean you cant afford some pliers? lol.

But one thing that is forgotten here.If the truck you are driving does not have an apu, and you are paying for the fuel, it can put you in the red real quick while idling the truck to stay warm and/or cool.And there is always the question of the fuel being used for relocating,deadheading, etc.I...

I would like to thank you, Mr. Madsen, for sharing this with us as well as sharing your knowledge and wisdom with this driver.If it werent for you, I can almost guarantee that he would be out of his truck come friday. It has really touched me to how you and your wife have went above what was...

There are actually a few tractor-trailer drivers at Landstar Express America.A close personal freind of mine is leased to them, for 3 years now.He bought his own trailer last year, and is doing well.I always loved landstar. They are a fair and honest company.And alot of fun to work for.I have...

And that raises another gripe of mine.Where have all of the toilet seat covers gone?I use those to put my foot on while putting on my socks.I tried once to use the toilet seat without a lid, needless to say, my foot slipped into the toilet bowl. Not a pleasent experience.And what kind of idiot...

You all may laugh at this one,but i carry my own shower head with me.How many times have I went to use the shower and the flow/stream is less than a squirt bottle? I take the water saver feature out of mine.and it only takes a few seconds to change, most of them are hand tight.Which leads me to...

once again, thanks for the input on the ford vans.the one i am buying has a 7.3 in it, a 2003 model. the carrier i am leased to does not have an age limit.it was from ryder, with 180,000 miles on it,looking like new inside and out.they want 4,995 for it, well below kelly blue book.they also put...

yes, that sounds to be about right for a cat, even though that can be adjusted via the ecm. this truck wouldnt happen to be celery green, including the box, is it?
