i may stand for correction, but i believe since shortly after 9/11 the homeland security act declared that stopping for tire checks on any load were not required anymore. like was previously stated, much of it has to do with not being so predictable. while i dont believe that anyone is in any...

does a d unit have to take actual fuel purchase amt or are we aloud to take the standard mi. ded.. read an article in the newspaper copy of the trucker news and it confused me so i post this ? for an answer. also pls explain the rules that go along w/each deduction. this has been an ongoing...

go to the local furn/matress store and ask some ? or just go online and search for custom mat. there are several co. out there that will make one to your specs. bemco matrass co is one that we use to deal with all the time when i was in the furn. bus. they make a quality mat. at a reasonable price.

stay a d unit if your co. does not hassle you. there are very few team trks with decent size sleepers that can scale 13,000 without the help of a lift axle. my 2000 fl70 with a 72" midroof sleeper weighed 19,200 with boxes and all our stuff. for that 13,000 payload the truck cant weigh over...

dont know the whole story or have a desire to. but as i have said before, with the free advertising thing put aside. the simple mention of a web address for the betterment of a driver should not be censored. bad blood or not the fact that the question at hand instilled fear of reprocussions from...

insurance in trucking is very misleading. as for your questions reguarding coverage. we have done some indepth resaerch recently do to an accident some friends had. the facts as we understand them and what was told us by our ins. carrier are, being under load only matters to the company. the box...

bigdog, i have the big mercedes also @ 435, and a 6spd. allison auto. i would think w/the 10spd you could run 3:73 or 3:91 maybe even a 3:55. the object w/the mercedes is to gear it to cruise in all gears at around 11-1300 rpm. get your cruise speed picked [ what spd you want on highway ] mine...

i do run a team and agree w/all, as far as hos are concearned. for those teams that are having trouble, you can manage to get on a pretty regular schedule w/some good trip planning. i posted what we do to achieve this previously. it may not be perfect for everyone but it does help us. if you...

yes, everyone did a good job slapping him down. davekc stated if it is affecting drivers still, then it is a current topic. the opinion is that nobody believes what he is saying and yes we all know his past record. lie, probably but to threaten to delete is not fair even to him. i do not drive...

while the thing about the mode for 6th may be true it does not work that way with my 4000hs allison. i am assuming you have the 3000 series in yours. but the mode button is a fuel economy thing , keep it off and get on the throttle hard and hold it and watch the rpm it shifts at then turn it on...

big d since i think you are a conway pbo use the comdata card. we obviously have a little better deal than p2 or fxcc but ofcourse you cant fuel at fj with it. we are only charged .50 a transaction by comdata and get .02 off at all loves cash price at pilot and a minimum of .03 off at t/a. we...

on wed. 11/9 i believe, i made a post about insurance coverage. i got online to check what replies had been made only to see that my post was down inline 8 or 9 spots under posts that were there long before i made mine. no big deal i guess just wondering how that happened. thought it would stay...

in the last week , after a terrible accident injured fellow expediters we have come to a conclusion that when not under a load some of us may not be insured. sure we all have non-trucking liability if we hit someone else but are you covered if you put it in the ditch or whatever that does not...

we have a 2005 m2 112 with the big 12.8 mercedes @410/1450. it has 95,000 on it now and has been trouble free w/the exception of a faulty engine brake sensor when it had 10,000 on it. other than this it has ran great, has more power and torque than you could ask for and gets 9.3 to 10 mpg all...

is it really affecting most people that adversely? i do realize that if you have not previously been doing 10 hr. shifts that it is hard to just jump rite in, but we all heard the rumors that it would be going this way. we have some friends that did the split thingy and took several weeks b-4...

spell check this spell check that use punctuation i thuoght we were all able to do as we see fit. we are all adults and yes i am sure that most everyone can form a sentance and at least use a period if they choose to , but if they choose not , keep your fingers off the keyboard and just let it...

just wondering after months of absence what happened to the gibster. anyone know ?

seems to me that all posts short of being vulgur should be left alone we all know the problems it causes when they get locked or deleted in lieu of safety or issues called negative we are all adults here and should be able to take creative criticism. i know that the owner and mods have fear of...

just my two cents worth but from my information the difference is in the frame, the fl80 has a little thicker [ which makes it more rigid ] frame that was the only difference i could find when i researched before i bought my fl70

con-way truckload is about a 4-5 month old venture started to haul freight for the ccx, cse, cwx, terminals. really not involved with the expediting side at all it is used for larger shipments going to the same area and to cut ltl transit times they are company owned and operated by company...
