T-Val appears to have a small base of customers. T-Val is also a lot smaller percentage of the trucks in the fleet. Since it is getting so bad in T-Val for you have you considered running as a dry box? As a dry box we see new customers all of the time who are not discounted customers. The...

Thank you for your reply as you gave me the information I was looking for and you added a great comparison. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this info.

Jim I did ask how many gallons they got per mile and it not good... Between the fuel they use as well as the tires they burn off of those cars it is hard to imagine.

The loads that we accept are enough to pay what we need them to we still get loads that are great and we get loads that are just mediocre. We are still just as excited when the QUALCOMM dings as we were six years. The competition is different than it was five years ago are even one year ago...

Does anyone on the forums have any experience using NASTIC fuel cards?

We are still in shock and awe over this truck. Not only driving the truck but sitting at the table in the sleeper as I am now typing away. It took longer to get the truck on the road than anticipated. The things we wanted done took longer than we thought they would. Taking the plunge to...

All of the ones that pay really well...

Greg are you running wide based singles now? Thanks for providing the link I forgot... multiply that .5 out on the fuel savings and yes it is a big deal. OVM smoothing out the sides of the box so as not to create any vacuums is where we are heading so we can continue to improve our fuel...

Real Wheels has been experimenting with wheel covers for the wide base rims and they have finally perfected the mounting brackets. The wheel covers will not rub on aluminum wheels which was a big concern. We had clear Aero Wheel covers on our wheels during the MATS truck show, but we took...

The picture you posted is of my favorite old truck that attends the Expo. I believe that truck has attended the Expo each year they have been in attendance. I always look forward to wandering through the old trucks and thinking about how much they have changed. Last year there were some...

I always forget about the BASS Pro Shop until we are leaving and I see that from the interstate. We will be down to the TA East this afternoon and we will have to go check all of that out. Thanks for the reminder

Best money I ever spent was buying the rice cooker as it cooks and warms the water to wash utensils... The new truck has a convection oven and I still pull out my trusty Rice Cooker I have been using for 5 years and it still keeps on going and going and going. I took my crock pot out of the...

Moot we backed out of the championships for this year. Several things came into consideration and one was how long it took us to get this new truck on the road and producing an income. Skill is skill whether it is done fast are slow it is exhilarating to do it right. I admit I am a speed...

I agree let TA know how you feel.... We vary rarely park out front unless we specifically are told as a straight truck that we can park in the front. I am assuming you are in a van and not a straight truck? When I first looked at your post my thoughts were truck stops are for parking...

A new activity to check off of the bucket list.... The Las Vegas Motor Speedway has always got something going on and a new thing for them is U-Drift... We were able to watch a competitors one Saturday night and it looked like a blast. We were then in Las Vegas again and decided to give...

This looks like a fun thing to do with a book after I have finished reading it. My daughter sent me this link as her friend has been tracking a book they left at a Starbucks that has been criss crossing the country. Welcome to BookCrossing I think this could be fun for those who still...

I think this is what you are asking about see if this thread might help you some: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/48147-def-diesel-exhaust-fluid.html

We have not reached the plateau of being rich and famous... We are still copper plated and have not reached the gold plated standards you guys have obtained yet... I really got a chuckle out of reading your post it was fun. We are still of the truck drivers who have to use baby wipes at...

We also have a locking differential and we have a lift axle which all help when on ice, snow or when stuck. We only needed one set on our drives. Our goal is good fuel mileage and as such we have the lowest rolling resistance tires we can get which are not good on slick roads. We do not run...

The chains are not cheap and they are not of cheap quality. The list price is $1,800.00 and to have them installed in North Vernon is $600.00. You can buy them all over the country and have them installed in different areas and I would check on their prices. North Vernon, IN is where the...
