    Expedite Expo From An Owner Operators View (Amazing)

    Stykemain has the cab/Chassis on the ground. You don’t have to wait for one to be built. They supply the motor home business. And most have a 16,000+ steer axle. Which is what you want, but may not know it. Unfortunately the sleeper builders are backed up. Still, may cut build time by a few...

    To me, the Volvo is the game changer. The shower/toilet is nice. I wonder if we’ll ever hear “Remember when most DR units were Freightliners “ ?

    The lack of tread depth may be offset by design. They may wear better, making up for the tread difference. When I was at Heartland Express they ran steer tires on the trailers. One of the most profitable truckload carriers out there. They probably figured the price difference was worth the...

    Great idea. Better fuel mileage, better ride, and quieter. All you lose is traction. If traction is an issue, for the price of steel wheels, have traction tires on steel wheels for winter, and steer tires on polished wheels for spring, summer, and fall.

    That’s the best thing about retirement. You can be home almost everyday. It’s better if the wife likes to cook and is good at it.

    Excellent point. I’ve run 445,000 on good drive tires on a class 8. I was going to suggest spending more to get better longevity, but forgot to factor in rolling resistance. And peace of mind. Regardless what you buy, if you don’t monitor pressure you’re throwing money out the window. BIG TIME.

    I sold a guy a 94 Freightliner . He got 200,000 miles out of the steers. He called me for advice on replacement tires . 200,000 miles ? Buy the exact same tire . What are you replacing ? What improvement are you trying to gain ? How do you run and where ?

    It can be lucrative. My last load resulted in a $150 ticket for unloading in a bus stop. Customer said we pay $150 ticket for every delivery. Broker refused to bill it. I ate it. Never been back.
