    Buying my first truck

    Small business loans are highly dependent on the individual credit of the owners, even established businesses. If your personal credit is good enough you will be much better off... TS

    Sleep, Cravings and Willpower

    Sometimes the junk food just compounds the problem too, if your blood sugar is all jacked up that tends to make at least me cranky...

    Best way to get started with no CDL Exp?

    I would work on the CDL if you can, you are going to be in a van/sprinter territory without it AND even some of those require it, nothing wrong with being in the non CDL arena if that is where you want to run, but since you mentioned straight trucks at least eventually that will pretty much...

    What's up w/ panther

    Over at LS in a solo straight, what is a ballpark definition in driver pay of "doing well"? Or if owners what is the gross revenue to the truck in say a year so we can see averages? If the rewards are there, then it makes business sense, you know you gotta pay to play, LOL TS

    Looking for opinions/input about Expediter Services

    I have only heard good things, there are others here who currently drive for them that could give some 1st hand knowledge, teams only AFAIK. TS

    Help! 18 eaton high side noises

    It sounds like something in the clutch system, BUT seems a bit odd to only happen on the high side, in other words the symptoms and the apparent cure seem unrelated? I know I am not much help, but the free play removal and the noise going away sure sound like clutch, not transmission? TS

    Landstar?

    I see quite a bit of interest in LS in recent posts. I am not currently nor have I ever been an expediter. I have been a small business owner since 1995 in a non trucking business and have more recently been an employee driving a large straight for the past year+. I took that job after it...

    Oil Leak from Speedco

    I wonder how they are over torquing oil plugs? Every time I go in they use a torque wrench and make the driver witness it, the only way they could over do it it is by wrong torque set on the wrench either by using the wrong spec or mis-setting the value on the wrench. TS

    Dash cams

    I have a fairly cheap DB4 from dieselboss.com, have only had a few months but it seems adequate and their support is very good. TS

    Winter starting

    A modern engine in good condition shouldn't need ether ever, maybe an old 2 stroke DD or some such, it is hard on the motor. If you need that on anything built in the last 20 years, either you have other issues or it is really really cold. TS

    Phones Cell phone carriers

    If you do Candian runs, watch out, BOTH AT&T and Verizon can run up an astronomical bill! I use T-Mobile, probably more holes than other services BUT no nasty overages ever! Unlike most if not all other carriers, when your data is gone it just throttles to 2G and you run out the bill cycle...

    Were you at Tom Nehl Truck Company Thursday?

    Saw a couple picking up a FCCC straight there at the shop in Jacksonville, FL late Thursday, didn't get a chance to chat, BUT she waved big as they left, just wondering if they are on here, I didn't get a good look, almost thought it could of been Jenny (based on profile photo here)? I was...

    T-mobile

    Well, never experienced that, I have a Simple Choice plan and I believe it doesn't chop you off like that, even roaming, maybe I just never roam enough with data to find out? TS

    T-mobile

    I don't understand your data usage and Tmob response, I just spent four weeks in Canada on Tmob, roamed the whole time and used 563 Mb of roaming data and ZERO charges, only time I got charged in fact was non wi-fi voice calls at $0.20 a minute, 469 minutes for $52.80 was it, again all data and...

    T-mobile

    Long time Tmob user, very few places with population it doesn't work, I have been running a company issued AT&T phone since last year in parallel, I would say dame coverage. There is never any overage on data, just drops to 2g until next bill cycle when your bucket runs dry, slow, but no...
