    Good place to move to, as an expediter

    Services are exempt from sales tax but you're right 9.75% is steep. The highest in the nation I believe. I think on groceries it's only 5%. Regardless, I'll take it over a burdensome state income tax anytime.

    Oil change on a big truck

    Yeah, well I never see too many owners check kingpins. I check mine every time I grease them 3,500 miles. I also jack the axle up and get the wheel off the ground so the kingpins are hanging in a free state and get proper lube. They last much longer that way mine are originals with almost 1.2...

    Oil change on a big truck

    Funny how we're all quick to jump for things they did wrong haha!! long day had some time to kill... Truth be told the video is ok for what it is - just a quick rundown of things to inspect. Maybe an owner seeing it out there somewhere might not have ever thought or known to check and now they do.

    Have you cargo vanners tried hauling air freight?

    Straights at FXCC turning a $1.90 on the hub, every mile, after fuel? Wow I need to sell my truck and get a class B! As far as deadhead is concerned, if you're charging rates accordingly those miles are paid for. I know to a T exactly how many deadhead miles I've turned daily, weekly...

    Anyone else stuck in Dallas

    T/A at exit 269 in Knoxville has "decent" BBQ - somebody with a smoker set up near the fuel island -they sell it out of the big truck fuel island desk, not the main store.. Petro in Gadsden, AL also has ok BBQ. Neither of these are what I think of as great BBQ but they're much better than...

    Oil change on a big truck

    He hopped in the truck test driving it, getting everything up to temp then pulls in the shop and checks air pressure..... Air pressure should always be checked and adjusted when the tires are cold - ambient temp. Park the truck overnight, don't move it an inch, and check the pressure the next...

    The chase - Truex out, Newman in..

    Been pulling for 39 ever since 14 was out. Would be nice to see him win after SHR ditched him but I'm sure chances are slim. He wasn't diplomatic at all at the race's end but it was the truth. If they could've consistently pit like they did at Indy the spinout wouldn't matter. Sent from my...

    Interesting stories. Mine is boring I was in Hagerstown, MD delivering pet food to a petco dc. I remember the fuel shortages and price spikes that shocked everyone though. Can't remember for certain but I believe diesel went up to and well over $4 a gallon for a week or so. Sent from my...

    Fresh start!

    A 3 year gameplan in the making to start off right. Good job. If only more prospective owners were a little more methodical and not in such a rush to become owners. Good luck! Sent from my droid using Tapatalk 2

    Dedicated Route

    Good luck profiting on dedicated. In TT you find lots of owners willing to work for nothing doing dedicated, scheduled runs. Customers with freight fitting that bill shop it. Seems like lots of owners want a predictable schedule, easy routine. I would imagine it's no different with ST's. It...
