OOIDA is more of a lobbyist group in Washington. They are really the only group that represents owner operators. The ATA represents trucking companies but not the drivers. If everyone played by the rules they wouldn't be needed. However, that is rarely the case. Most of there cases do center...

TSI Western Star should have all the information you need on the Star. Davekc owner 20 years

I would also add to this is pets. Many do not allow pets. Some like Dupont have a kennel at the gates to leave your dog prior to entering their facilities. Davekc owner 20 years

Good Idea. Davekc owner 20 years

We have liked the Delorme mapping system with GPS as well. Very economical but lacks some specifics for big trucks. It doesn't show specific truck routing, low bridges, and scales. Davekc owner 20 years

I agree with the above. Why would you pay for the insurance on someone elses vehicle? I wouldn't pay the QC charge either if that is mentioned. Only your personal insurance should be considered. It would appear that he/she is a rip off artist if they insist on these terms. In addition, make...

Maybe you could share with him where you are at now. It may or may not do him some good. They have made some changes but I haven't seen anything recent as to how they are to drive for. It would be my hope that they have improved over what was there several years ago. Davekc owner 20 years

They have flat ones that are used on trailers that could be used. If the bolts can't be used, torch off the old. Then drill new holes for the new and you should be set to go. Davekc owner 20 years

Go the extra mile and add a lift gate,tag axle,reefer and some large fuel tanks and you will have a high hp "B" unit. Wouldn't be too profitable but might be fun to drive. Davekc owner 20 years

Glen is correct that they are a class 7. They are however built with the same components (dash, electronics, interior, cab, excluding hood) that the class 8's have. To a lesser degree is the Sterling class 7. That is why at times they are put with the class 8's. In addition, because of the gvw...

Once the sticker is removed, you can use goof off to remove the remaining glue residue. If you have a heat gun, these will work well too. Davekc owner 20 years

I clearly think you would do better to drive for someone prior to a huge financial commitment. There are alot of places you could get into trouble with huge truck payments and limited capital. In addition, I would do a search on All-Types Expediting. When reviewing past threads, I failed to find...

If you are out there trucking now, ask some of the expediters you see in truckstops ect. Most would be willing to give you some idea as to how they are doing. I think it will be difficult to find a carrier that only does runs in the southeast. Most will run anything east of the Mississippi...

Most carriers run in the southeast. I would call some of the recruiters of your choice and see which company best suits you. Davekc owner 20 years
