    used truck postings

    Yea, I guess masking the email addy is important. I have just had problems contacting people about thier trucks. It often takes a week or more to get info back from some people. Makes it hard to do business. Layoutshooter

    used truck postings

    Hey Everyone, How about when you post a used truck listing you post it with all the info? Like, who it is leased with, liftgates, axels, engine/tranny etc? It would be nice to know if it is a White Glove/Elite truck etc. GVW would be nice. All the cool stuff. A phone number and/or a email...

    International trucks

    LOL, loaded to the max? My loads lately have been 4-5 lbs!! Could run them on a bicycle!!! How often are you guys really loaded heavy out there? We seem to be more likely to load 100lbs than 10,000. Layoutshooter

    International trucks

    What does everyone think about International trucks? I have heard horror stories and great things. Is it the same as anything? If you get a good one it's good and the bad ones are bad? Is there a problem with the brand? Just want to know. Thanks, Layoutshooter

    I am not sure how slow things are. We are up over last year and May was our best month ever in this business. We do need to drill more here and use our coal. Makes good fuel. Layoutshooter

    single wheel VS Dually drives

    I would be concerned with performance on snow. I was raised with the idea that narrow tires work better on snow than wider tires. My snow tires were always 1 or 2 sizes narrower than my summer tires. On my 4-wheel drive we used narrow snow tires and wider tires on mud so we could "float" on it...

    Truck Financing

    Ok, how does everyone go about financing trucks? Not talking to the cash buyers. DO you get a new/used truck loan? Do you get a business line of credit? Has anyone ever used owner financing? Looking for the pros and cons to everything. Thanks, layoutshooter

    Fire Safety

    Way to go!!! Knowing how to go about doing something is always good. Another tip, the cheap extingushers that most trucks come with don't always re-fill very well. They have plastic gaskets that tend to leak after they are opened. Good ones like we used on the fire trucks had metal gaskets. Much...

    How to be a good team member??

    I agree that there is a general lack of work ethic. One other thing to consider, a newbe has to build up to driving 11 hours straight. I could not do it right off and neither could my wife. We can now, but it took a bit. Just a thought. Layoutshooter

    Biofuel

    Burning fossil fuel releases Co2 that was free in the atmosphere during past periods of global warming. We need to control how much of it we release at one time. All that Co2 is part of the environment, always has been. It is released, stored, then released again. Plants absort it, they die...

    Biofuel

    ONE of the reasons that we pay farmers NOT to grow is to stop the land from wearing out, losing to many minerals etc. ANOTHER reason is the lose of critical wildlife habitat. Prarie pot holes, wet prarie, marginal wet lands to name a few. Another is CLEANER water. One way to perk up worn out...

    Bad drivers.....

    It would be an interesting forum. Nasty stories on both sides of this issue. Bad trucks, lasy drivers, over extended owners, drivers leaving trucks in the middle of nowhere. Seems to me it is a problem of people not acting like adults. Owners and drivers have to live up to the promises they...

    our truck fire and insurance

    VERY sorry to hear of you fire and VERY happy to learn that you both were all right. About the fire extinguishers, two are better than one and 10lb is better than 5lb, BUT, proper training is just as important. As I former firefighter I can tell you that a 5lb bottle can put out a rather large...

    Before the Mexicans can drive, they need dispatche

    RE: Before the Mexicans can drive, they need dispa Just keep a REALLY close eye on this MEXICAN thing and it won't be hard to see what is going on. They are planning big protests again on May 1. Why May 1? May 1 is a major holiday in the socialist world. There has been a MAJOR movement in this...
