WOW, I love the help in here. My next question was on the nitrogen. Never even thought about a heat gun. Where do you buy this? Are they special made for trucking? Keep it coming!!!!!!!! Layoutshooter

How often does everyone align the front end? Do you always do a all axle alignment? Thanks as always, Layoutshooter.

I agree on I-10 in LA. Not only does it mess up a front end alignment it knocks you spine out too!!!!!

I live south of Detroit and still manage not to drive there very often. Seems the roads are just as bad everywhere else I go. I use my guage often. Just wondering about the newer systems out there. Always looking for the perfect solution for everything. I will let you know if I ever find it...

Ok, assuming proper inflation, alignment etc, how many miles should a D unit get on the steers? Good tires, not cheap stuff. Question two: Do the automatic tire inflation systems work? Does anyone have them? Are they worth the money? Thanks, Layoutshooter

Many thanks to all, I will check all of them out when I get home next time. Layoutshooter

cool, thanks

Ok oh great trucking gurus!!!! Does anyone make upgrade headlight assemblies for older Frieghtliners? I have a 2 light, 7" round system. I was thinking of replacing them if there was a upgrade kit. Is there such an animal? If so, who makes them and how many millions of dollars are they...

RE: WHat is WRONG with you people ? RE: border cr Sorry guys, was just trying to find out if they were allowed to ask me what I owned in my house. Geeez, did not mean to start WW5. Yes 5. 3 was called the cold war, 4 is the war on terror and this would have been 5. Sorry. Basic high school...

RE: WHat is WRONG with you people ? RE: border cr I have nothing against the Canadian people. Your government has been very hostile of late. I hope that things will change with your new government. I have several friends that were stopped and boarded by Canadian Coast Guard in U.S. waters. One...

I know I enter a different country when I enter Canada. I live on the border, south of Detroit. I will ALWAYS answer questions that pertain to my truck and load. NO ONE in Canada, or the U.S. for that matter, has the right to ask me what I do or do not own in my home. My papers were in order, my...

I don't know what the problem was. I was so taken aback by the question that I answered it. Next time I won't. NO forgien government or it's agent has the right to know what I do or don't own in my home.They can just kiss my grits. Layoutshooter

WOW, only one more year to make total moron? That must be when I by my truck. LOL Layoutshooter

Who else has been asked by a Canadian border guy if you owned guns at your house in the U.S.? I have. Then the guy got up into my face and told me that "When he finds the guns I have hid in my truck he will put me in jail." I had none and did not go to jail. Where do these guys get off asking me...

Ok, I will then. We have been happy with the way things have been going this first year. We have made mistakes and learning from them. We are working on getting our own truck in the next year or two. Then, who knows, maybe start a small fleet. Might as well dream big.

Ok guys, when do I get to be a not newbie?? I have been at this a year and I still seem to be making mewbie mistakes. I was told by a "C" reefer guy last week that his team averaged between 6-8 thousand a week this year. I must me newer than I thought I was. I just can't seem to make that much...

I have a question on this, is there such a thing or a place that measures you to see what size seat you need? IE: low rider etc. It would seem to me that it would be a good idea since everybody is soooo different. My seats tend to cut hard under my thighs, I have to lower them till they almost...

For what it's worth I would also suggest that you guys look into running a "D" unit for an owner. I have been on the road almost a year now and my wife joined me last Sept. We enjoy what we are doing but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy I started with an owner. It has helped me to avoid alot of...

Cool!!! Thanks!!!!!!! Layoutshooter

On the subject of the AGM's, the secret to them is proper charging. They should not be over or uncharged. They hold a charge well, losing only about 2% per year on the self. Old style flooded cells lost 2-4% per month when not in use. The AGM discharges differntly than the flooded. The old...
