    Reconsidering Super Singles

    You need to check the rolling resistance on the SS Tires as the deep lug tires are really bad for fuel mileage and take forever to wear in.

    why the doom and gloom

    In the future I cannot see the industry playing today’s games with yesterday’s rules so the face of expediting is going to change with the economic times. I agree rates will go up as the economic recovery begins as there will be fewer trucks to haul the freight, we will just be hauling the...

    why the doom and gloom

    I believe the common saying in Expediting is less miles more money!! That though is subject to change to get us through some tough times. The question is once we through these tough times will it go back? Probably not keep your eye to the future and adjust with the times. Change is a way...

    a little advise please

    Michelin Tires web site has a great rolling resistance calculator. You can compare any tire to any tire and see what the rolling resistance is. Often the cheap tire with the deep lug will cost you a fortune in fuel and you could have easily paid for a Michelin or comparable without the deep...

    M2 Air Dryer

    My point is everything wears with vibration and we as the drivers of the truck need to watch for breakage or worn items. The stress we put on these trucks from our rough roads we constantly drive on just amazes me how well our trucks do stay together. When something finally does let go to...

    M2 Air Dryer

    Is your M2 brand new and your first load? Or whas this something that has been overlooked many time while doing a pre trip? It is very easy to blame someone else and Freightliner has done a lot of amazing things but if this truck has been used much virbrations cause a lot of things to break...

    a little advise please

    You are usually not buying a truck for resale value you are buying a truck to make money with. Pay off the truck as quick as possible and start saving for the next one. A Peterbuilt and a Freightliner both make the same amount of money going down the road but only one of them will put more...
