    Custom built straight truck?

    I weigh 13,980 on the steer. It'd be less if I didn't have the monstrous front end/tires. This is with team and 300 gallons of fuel. This is lighter than many DR's. My chassis was prespec'd, sitting on the lot. He now stocks a lighter front end. I'd order 14,600 if ordering a DR.

    Sometimes you get outbid by a guy that says " Today I'm bidding cheap and tomorrow I'll be back up to industry standards." :(

    Plain old stupidity

    I quit using Speedco for years. I went back for convenience. I have found great locations and poor locations. Perrysburg Oh has some sharp people in it. I'll never return to West Memphis, Ar. Was at one that just switched to all Baldwin filters. No thanks. I call ahead.

    Plain old stupidity

    I'd have to think the mobile mech was a guy that couldn't the grade at Speedco. You drive into Speedco fine. You pull out and quickly run out of fuel/quit running. Any idiot lites prior to quittng ? No. Pull filter. Is it full ? Is gasket ok ? Refill and try. Maybe try new filter. If...

    tires and wheels come off

    I saw a guy lose a steer tire/wheel. He passed me and was moving over in front of me. When the weight came off the wheel it went airborne about 50 almost straight up and then into a field. He was able to get to the shoulder. When wheels come off and nobody gets hurt, you've got to feel lucky.

    Wheel safety on your truck or car

    Two comments: I've heard Canada will put a torque wrench to check lug nuts. Each out of spec nut is a separate violation. Speedco, which has good and bad points, has a torque wrench that gives you a print-out of torque applied to each stud. I will get this done soon after tire replacement...

    tires and wheels come off

    If you lose the bearing, you lose the wheel assembly as a whole.. Generally a poor maintenance issue.

    Truck not starting

    Or, possibly just corrected a ground issue that wasn't addressed. Bad connection, corroded cable. At approx 500,000 I replaced all the Battery Cables on my Pete. Just to be proactive.. Never had any issues and sold it with well over 900,000 miles. Everyone that remembers this thread should...

    I wouldn't have any D at the Fed w/o a liftgate. Liftgate pay is poor. Getting liftgate loads make up for the inferior pay.
