    Looking for first Straight Truck job

    Sorry, but that's exactly what I'd recommend. Stick it out for 6 months and consider it an apprenticeship. Chances are you will be running with a driver trainer. You will learn what life is like on the road and gain valuable experience and work history to take with you when entering the...

    15 ft. unicell express van

    There is a way it can be under 10,000 GVWR if GM tagged it higher. Unicellular or another upfitter could de-rate it to less than 10,000 pounds.

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Looks like the Aerocell flat-floor. It also looks like it sits on a DRW chassis.

    iOS7 update

    You can call my daughter or trust me. Go to Settings, scroll down to General and open it. Then look for Software Updates. It took my iPhone 4 almost an hour to down load. You may want to do this with the power corded connected to a power source.

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Is that single rear wheel or dual rear wheel? What does your average load weigh? Over the road or city delivery?

    15 ft. unicell express van

    Do you have a link to the specs? It sounds like the Unicell Clasicube. It comes in an SRW version but the floor sits above the wheels, so no wheel boxes inside. This might be appealing to some, but for me the higher center of gravity is a negative. It also increases the overall height which...

    EO logo

    Yea, maybe it was Con-Way's "Teamsters Suck" placard that got confused with the poison placard.

    iOS7 update

    For years I wondered why I ever had children. Then I got caught up in the computer/cell phone thing and had an epiphany. I have kids so they can help me with this technical stuff. It was my daughter that called me about iOS7 and she walked me through installing it. I like iOS7. I was...

    Is this a short?

    Looks like some high voltage leakage combined with some dermis leakage.

    EO logo

    Is that a fairly new law? Many LTL carriers ran flippable placards with a message. CF had "Line Of The Day Savers". Others had "Drive Safely" or "Please Drive Safely". At CCX we had the generic safety message or maybe it was "Teamsters Suck". I don't remember any more. At one time it...

    Looking good Mikey! Is there a nose mount refer hiding behind that roof fairing or a belly mount?

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    It seems like the 55 mph limit on I-294 is the "suggested" speed limit. To get a speeding ticket one would have to drive faster than 70 mph and be weaving in and out of traffic. Last spring I saw a lighted message board on I-294 just prior to a construction zone. The message read...

    FYI TAX UPDATES Part 2

    Thanks Frank. An increase in the per diem rate would be welcome. It ain't getting any cheaper living out here.

    Humidifer

    This is the hydrometer I have in my van. It is mounted to the wall next to my bed, in easy reach, in case of an emergency. It doesn't have a magnet mount or even Velcro. It is stuck to the wall with a chunk of duct tape. It was free with the purchase of a gallon of Prestone. I've only used...

    Humidifer

    A hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It comes in handy for testing engine coolant or acid in a battery. For measuring moisture content in the air you want a hygrometer.

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    The premise of this video is that speed kills your pocketbook via the government. What wasn't noted was that speed kills your pocketbook through reduced fuel economy.

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    Great video! It even contained the Canadian mandated hockey scene, though the hockey players were two brothers from Minnesota. Ya, you betcha, ay.

    What scares you the most on the road?

    Is that the curve where several years ago the walls got topped with glass panels that reflected your headlights back at you?
