Dispatch was on the ball and...

    Oil Speculation effects Truckers, Pilots

    Really..I guess I could beleive that for a guy finding his own freight and setting his own rates. I seem to dole out alot of money for fuel each week..Regardless of how much you get for FSC on payday, does it (FSC) not get counted as revenue and there for still cost at years end? Im not for...

    Odd FECC Truck

    If you go into the Ford plants much you will notice some of these plants wont go into any straight trucks anymore..For some reason they claim Ford has a policy that prevents them from driving onto a box truck..1 day the forklift will go in the next day they wont????

    Surface Rust on Wheels

    Chrome cleaner is really good for removing rust stains on the painted surface. Of course it wont remove the rust coming thru the steel. I also think Powder coating is best option at this point if you want to save what ya have now. It will last so much better then a can of spray paint and look...

I think they said 2 days for full install. If ya can go with the...
