    All NFL Teams 2017 - 2018

    Reflecting on today’s game, with the outcome detetermining if I can afford to stay retired, I’m afraid it will come down to coaching. I believe either team has the talent to win. Can the Eagles come up with a plan to disrupt Brady, can they keep Gronk out of the Highlight film ? Can they...

    What companies can I work for with an "aftermarket" ELD?

    A friend recently went through Landstar Orientation. They suggested three options. Qualcomm, KeepTruckin , Rand McNally. Rand McNally is crap. Only about 10 left in the fleet, from what he was told.

    What companies can I work for with an "aftermarket" ELD?

    They can’t force you to buy from them. They may be able to force you to use one compatible to their system. Does anyone know someone using other than Qualcomm at FedEx ?

    Nervous newbie

    Never in my life have I had freight set on a strap. Wind your straps after each load. Stow then in a box or bag out of the way. Look to see how other drivers take care of their’s.

    Need a very specific box truck..

    Rich, exactly what kind of truck did you get for 1200 per month ? Full maintenance ? Mileage restrictions? The fixed cost, in today’s climate, is very appealing.

    Need a very specific box truck..

    Do you know anyone doing similar work, with the equipment you desire ? What mpg are they getting ? 6 mpg idleing around a business district, slow speed, stop and go may not be too out of line. Would have to analyze your operation to give a concrete opinion.

    Need a very specific box truck..

    The engine I imagine cracked because the coolant wasn’t the proper mixture for those cold temperatures. If that is the case, your maintenance person has some culpability. But that’s water under the bridge. $25,000 for 60,000 miles service is absurd. The registration, insurance, etc will be...

    Need a very specific box truck..

    There are many reasons an engine can go at 140, 000 miles. His operation is more like a taxi than a tour bus. That’s not the debate here. Sounds like he needs a low cost version of what I once saw Rags driving. There are people in our community that have experience with similar equipment...

    I thought near the center there’s a large area where the fiberglass is thicker: like it overlaps. Some fiberglass tanks have metal cradles/ supports. Also metal flanges glassed in. But he saw that it was metal, so who am I to argue ?
