    Slow?

    RE: Slow?one more thing... Miko wrote I just want to be home once a week, at least for a day. I hate to be discouraging but it seems based on your post, you may want to consider air freight or local P&D. Going to a larger truck with the same company and your criteria, will only make you go...

    Tire Wear

    Part of it is alignment. You need a shim adjustment on the rear. Depending on milage the front could be a couple of things. True the front tires and change the shocks. If there is no pull in the steering but the cupping starts to return after several thousand miles, then the neoprene bushings...

    Dirty Carpet & Upholestry

    If the option is available, go with linoleum. We have that, and just use bathroom rugs. They can be laundered in the truck stop and be replaced if need be at Walmart. If you already have carpet, get a few rug hooks and put them (bathroom rugs) over your existing carpet (can be cut for exact...

    Slow?

    Any run can be profitable as long as you know what it costs to run your truck. I can't say enough for knowing the freight lanes your company is running and keeping empty miles as low as possible. If for example your company can't produce loads from the west coast, don't go there unless you can...

    CoPilot Truck GPS

    This truck was dropped off at 3:30 in the morning. I know why. He had no plans of being there when I saw it. It was just unreal. I see many notes on here about owners screwing drivers. Well here is an example of where a decent owner that tries his best to treat drivers like good honest people...

    Possible Solution For Cargo Van A/C

    I heard of a simular issue but can't remember who the unit was made by. They need one that goes 8 hours at maximum cool without a charge. The other question would be, how often do you have to replace batteries. Apparently they have a pretty good draw. Maybe the manufacturer could relay the...

    I WANT TO BUY A TRUCK....

    You would be better to drive for an owner. You will need at least a 60/40 split and a good fuel surcharge program, or you will go broke with the fuel prices. (if you are paying) If you are paying for the fuel, you should expect no less than 100 percent of it. I don't believe that ES pays 60...

    Sleeper option

    I quess you could run a small heater hose outside for the drain, and have a quick disconnect. Six gallons doesn't seem enough. We have a 30 gallon tank and a six gallon hot water tank. It last 2 to 3 days with a team. Sink water ect is coming from the same source. Toilet has its own water...
