    Great Shop for a Rig Master

    Auxiliary Power Products - Olathe KS 913-397-6722 We had a really great experience with this company and would highly recommend them. Bob had an idea of what was wrong with our generator and what part we needed. He called this company and talked to the tech who verified what Bob thought was...

    hondaking38 This is a good and funny post but some people seem to have a chip on their shoulder and can not just have fun with out getting a dig in. In this day and age it is very easy to copy and paste your post in a spell checker and check the spelling. Now as for grammar I am the worst and...

    Slush Buster or De Icer

    Best $12.00 dollars we have spent. I really should say 24.00 as the first time we put them on the truck Bob was not happy with how the wiper went across them so we had to buy another set. We will take these off when and if summer ever gets here but I will have another set on order for next...

    Endless Winter

    We received a load offer for Laredo and we jumped on it just to get out of the ice and snow for a couple days. I just looked at the weather and I think we will sit tight for the rest of the weekend. I keep telling myself that spring will be here before you know it but .....

    Laredo TX

    We have also had pretty good luck getting out of southern Texas and the loads usually make it worth the wait. We are hoping this will happen to us once again!

    Truck Length

    Nope we have not had a problem with snow or ice building up on the lift gate. We have Air Tabs and that does help from having snow build up on the back doors. This could also help keep from the snow or ice getting on the lift from the back. The gate is 6' X 8' and folds in half as you use...

    Truck Length

    I have looked at what pictures I have but do not have one of the lift gate from a back view of the truck. I will try to get a picture when it warms up some and get it posted.

    Truck Length

    We also researched this subject and we are 40' from bumper to bumper so we had to buy a lift gate to accommodate the law. We have a lift gate that tucks completely under the truck, one of the nice things about our lift gate is many of the dock locks will hook onto our DOT bumper. So far we...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    You can help your self also by keeping track of where you pickup loads on a map such as Streets and Trips. Add a date and the name of location and you can start creating a history. Also if you see anyone at a truck stop that is from the company with the same size vehicle make a point of...

    Logging

    When you accept the load you as an independent Owner Operator or driver have to make the decision if you can cross the border and stay legal. IMO the company offers you loads and you then make the decision can I haul the load legally and then you accept or reject the load offer. I do not see...

    Lift Gate Corrosion

    Good Post India and with the winter we have had we all need this reminder. We have had a similar problem and like you we found our problem before we were at a customers location.

    Logging

    John I am a little slow can you expound on this? Running team at border crossing you lose your sleeper berth time if less than eight hours. No provisions have been made to accommodate drivers in this area.

    Liftgate question.

    There are many different ways of looking at a lift gate. The actual pay you get for just using the lift gate is miniscule compared to the advantages of having the lift gate. We have never regretted having our lift gate and love the additional challenges the loads provide. We have felt that...

    Hmmm just how random

    We have always wished we could both be called at the same time! It seems as if we get called we are the most tired and in an area that is not truck friendly and has no parking. Of course though we are always told "Yep they have plenty of truck parking" We have never been asked to do a random...

    Health Insurance in the Expedited Game

    ATBS has also started a new health plan you might want to compare prices with. I believe the plan they have started will be a high deductable with an HSA. I do not think you have to be with ATBS to get the health coverage. You can call 877 949 8447 8 to 8 eastern Monday thru Friday.

    Your average load

    We know of a few White Glove units that are solo trucks. They usually stay in a certain area that has a percentage of freight and are very careful about the loads they accept. Again a good thing to discuss with a recruiter and take into consideration the area you live in and would like to stay...

    That is interesting Greg as the state we used our exemption in was in Washington.

    "D" downgraded to"C"

    We have a 96" AA sleeper with a 24' box and we are 40' bumper to bumper. Our truck when we first bought it brand new with just a APU, no lift gate and no tag axle and also before I moved in weighed almost 20,000 lbs. After we added our gear we could not legally haul 13,000 which would have...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    I have decided to take a suggestion Leo made about getting the trucks number and company and taking the time to call them. I have also had enough of seeing this go on at the truck stops. The list can go on and on of what some of these pigs do and it is disgusting. It is no wonder some times...
