    Load info

    When has time entered into this industry? Me and you know time is everything but to some its only a way of passing time until its time to go home. Fairly certain a p-up# or something else to ID the load comes with every load profile. Why it doesn't automatically get relayed to the trucks is...

    Ride height

    I assume you found your problem then. :D You said something about leaving a 1" board in place, and that doesn't seem like a lot of board/wood to support the load. It might be best if you where there with various shims to insure/check you get the best piece of wood in place. Just my opinion but...

    Big Truck Tire Balance

    I believe I have heard that accuride has lug nuts the will both center the wheel and drum???? Mine only center the wheel. What ever style you use make sure its a good grade product and fits properly.

    Big Truck Tire Balance

    Regardless of how you balance your tires its still a good idea to use centering lug nuts on a hub piloted wheel. As one of the articles state there is a gap between the wheel and stud. The centering lug nut takes up that gap and centers the wheel to the hub. I use 3 per wheel and leave them in...

    For the time I spend there and if I remember right there may have been 2 guys that had a prayer in making it work. Mainly because I believe they got out from under the lease as fast as they could and away from the restrictions of the lease allowing them to work the way they wanted too,, And...

    #cargovanlivesmatter

    Ya need to add the transporters with the pick-up trucks now.. Talked to 2 of them yesterday picking up auto freight for a carrier. One brought rv trailer down and other hauled a boat and taking auto freight back up. Both loads would have fit nicely in my truck or someone's van.
