Fast forward to 27:00 to get past the useless B.S. and to the debate

Luckily its on you tube. Hopefully I was able to fast forward through half an hour of pointless mind :censoredsign: propaganda commentary.. In short it kind looked like this.

If you have only one battery and its Diesel, check its cranking and cold cranking amps. Its best to have as close to 1000 CCA as possible. Also a second battery helps. Group 31 batteries are usually beefier as well. if you have or opt for dual batteries replace or install them both at the same...

If you have or are willing to invest in your MC# I would recommend looking for work with electronics, tech, medical equipment and pharmaceutical companies. They are more likely to be interested in refrigerated vans. Medical customers are usually willing to pay better and prefer regular...

Who makes a decent tire for a 2005 Chev. 3500 C Van. and has highway manors, wears like steel wheels, and decent mileage. I want something that's aggressive so I don't have to worry about deep snow & rain, but not so aggressive and noisy that after 5 minutes of road noise I have to beg someone...

Can you give more info? There can be any number of issues. My first suspect for low power is start with minor issues.. Fuel filters, water traps, if you have a screen prefilter commonly called a rock catcher common on older internationals, they load up with rust and crud, a cracked O-ring...

Leeseneville / Prestolite is the OEM starter and alternator for class 6 through class 8 trucks. They also make severe duty alternators for light vehicles as well. theyre not cheap, but they are usually servicable as far as swapping out brushes, diodes, etc. You can get them with the ability for...

I was going to say Leeseneville / Prestolite is the OEM starter and alternator for class 6 through class 8 trucks. They also make severe duty alternators for light vehicles as well. theyre not cheap, but they are usually servicable as far as swapping out brushes, diodes, etc.

It didn't matter whos name the box had on it Bendix, Spicer, etc., the part was the same with minor differences like a bore for a set screw or a radius...

This video might help explain the crash absorption in cars.

I like the fed ex deer guard idea. almost hit one square on a couple years ago, missed it by inches, next thing I know it was under the rear tires. Ive thought about the solid bumpers and guards A T/T or strait truck sure beefing it up shouldn't be a problem as the frames are solid strait C...

I thought you were talking about the one man one truck ops.

What is this guy talking abbout "great times for the industry" Most of us are just getting by at best, just making it. I had a clown ask me to make a weekly round trip 2 - 3 skids 200 miles each way and expected me to do it for 100 bucks.

Individual C.S.A. scores are based on your inspections, crashes, and compliance with the regs. Not much on the biennial update for the individual O/O or driver. The updates help with the averages of all motor carriers in different segments. Combination Vehicles / Tractor Trailers and Strait...

I thought it over and decided the box replacement will be way to expensive for the year of the truck and I'm leaning toward building a flatbed / stake body style truck. within the budget I figured a strait forward no frills steel deck 24 - 26 foot flatbed around 5 grand materials and my free...

Trust me I feel your pain New York state is one of the highest priced for fuel then add highway use taxes and tolls I try every angle I can safely and legally use to save a buck. If you can get the weight distribution math right and not totally slash your freight capacity or the investment...

When it comes to the government especially with taxes and regulations can someone define fair share?

F.Y.I. If your a newbie, Turtle is experienced however he can be sarcastic sometimes you need a sense of humor..

If you want an accurate curb weight stop at a truck stop with no freight on board just the items you normally carry on the road. You the driver, co-driver or pet if you ride with one, clothing and gear, tools, etc. Fill the tank and weigh the vehicle on a truck scale. You will know how much...
