Here's the article on the wreck Second victim pulled from Colfax big rig wreckage - Auburn

I was coming south on I-75 in KY a while back just past exit 175 in the second lane and a Jeep Cherokee just ahead of me has its rear axle break and threw the left rear wheel right in front of me . There wasn't even time to react . It bent my bumper then jammed under the axle but did no damage...

See the thread in Truck Talk on tag axle trucks .

Be very careful with that 32,000 lb. gross . Could you perfectly distribute 32,000 lbs. so you had 12,000 on the front axle and 20,000 on the rear ? IL has zero tolerance for overweight . I passed an IL scale once and heard talk on the CB that an expediter at that scale would pay anybody that...

That's been discussed here . The Tandems & Drop Axle Debate My opinion and something not mentioned was a drive axle would be heavier , increase empty weight and reduce carrying capacity .

Yeah but now the Eastbound 401 exit to Highbury Avenue will close for 6 weeks starting September 15th .

Actually , a 4500 is a class 4 . The July issue of "Overdrive" had an article on hotshotters . One hotshotter runs 3 4500's pulling gooseneck trailers a lot harder than any expediter will ever run . The trucks perform very well . I know the owner personally .

I keep getting e-mails from the Democratic Party asking for $5 donations . I reply saying Obama won't get my vote or money as long as Biden's on the ticket . The last e-mail criticized Palin and the bridge to nowhere . I replied I've checked Obama's record . He voted for the bill to fund the...

It doesn't make you unemployable because there are many carriers that don't use DAC .

I wish Biden would quit bringing the death up in his speeches . A VP that dropped out a presidential race because of proven dishonesty isn't an issue ? How about Michelle Obama promising gay marriages and adoption ? RedState: Michelle Obama Promises Gay Marriage & Adoption When Barack is...

I can't understand why Obama would pick a VP that dropped out a previous Presidential campaign after he was found guilty of plagiarism and lying about his academic record . There is much more he has lied about . His first wife died when she pulled from a stop sign without looking and was hit by...

In answer to all the above : As stated , they were "Ford Repurchase " vehicles . That only applies to lemon law vehicles . Ford would not repurchase vehicles if engines failed due to tuners or type of fuel . Owners still had problems with 2007 6.0 diesels . Read posts by Albert of Mobile...

The book is supposedly updated monthly . The editions books at the truckstops are plastic wrapped so you don't know what edition you're getting . JJKeller lists updates at their website . If you buy the book on the site they'll email updates to you .

Ford did NOT correct the problem . I've seen several auto transporters loaded with Ford vans marked "Factory Repurchase" which means Ford was forced to buy them back under lemon laws . I know a hotshotter that has hauled many late model Ford vans and pickups to the shredder . The 6.0 problem...

I made the mistake of buying a truck in the last quarter and taking the $15,000 dollar " bonus" deduction for buying a new truck . Looked great on taxes that year but didn't look good when applying for the loan the next year . IRS doesn't give you anything . The next year I had far less...

But for many in expediting it's more the fleet owner than the company you have to be concerned with .

I've seen a couple of the shows . The two wives swap families . I don't see how this can be done with a woman trucker . These media people don't have a clue about the trucking industry .
