    MATS Miracle

    Exactly my point did you see my reference to Baldwin filter man. If you pay $20.00 a gallon for an additive that adds 2% to your fuel mileage and you are getting 8.5 MPG then you increase your MPG to 8.7 MPG so on a 200 gallon tank you get an increase from 1700 miles to 1740 so that the 40...

    Class D or C? Confused.

    I agree that the difference between a C or D doesn't really matter unless you are not in the Elite Services or White Glove. When you haul general freight then you need to be able to carry any load that comes across the board. So a D unit is more practical. When you are in WG or Elite...

    Firearm Choices

    Just getting my 2 cents worth in but I think if you have a contract with a company I will almost bet they have a clause in there about carrying a weapon. All regs from different states I have read about carrying you cannot have the weapon where it is accessable from the passenger compartment...

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    Right so why are we blaming all the high prices on the Middle East? Also why doesn't the government make the oil companies a utility. OH YEAH....campaign contributions

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    Then can you tell me what good a trucker strike would do if we are trying to change the price of fuel? By the way can anyone tell me who we buy the most petroleum from and also the most crude oil?

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    My idea may seem simplistic but what if everyone did not buy any fuel for 1 day just from Midnight to Midnight. You would be surprised what would happen. I mean not one drop of fuel bought by anyone for 24 hours. Their refinerys would be so backed up they would have to lower the price just to...

    OOIDA tour

    I have always wondered how anyone could ever think that the ATA has anything thing to do with drivers. It is The American TRUCKING Association. They never have and never will give two hoots about the drivers. I think they feel drivers are a dime a dozen and they treat them as such. The ATA has...

    Truckers Expect Record High Fuel Costs - Forbes.com

    I have been amazed at how close the prices have become does anyone remember when there would be a .30 cent or more difference between MO and IL, OK and CA, NY and NJ? And i am talking about when fuel was in the $1.00 and $1.50 range. As an example lets say fuel is 1.00 in NJ and it is 1.50 in...

    When is a D is better than a C

    In reply to your question I feel having run a D unit, a C unit, a DR unit and a CR unit, it all comes down to who you are hauling for as an example, if you are in FDCC White Glove I see no real difference in CR and DR loads but expenses are lower in CR, only 6 wheels on ground, lower...
