If leased to a carrier, you still use you carrier's DOT number on the IRP application. But as the owner of the truck, you are the one responsible for the IRP. The residency requirement calls for a UTILITY bill in your name to be shown. If you ran a mock agency, you could make up fake phone...

The autoshifts aren't new. Here is the link to Eaton's http://www.roadranger.com/products/trans/trans.htm Rockwell/Meritor make autoshifts also. http://www.arvinmeritor.com/products/truckandtrailer/zfmeritortransmissions.asp The 10 speed Roadranger autoshift is about a $10 option on a new...

Turns out Rob was lucky mcbride. Exemption laws have changed since 2000 in NY, and next time around if he gets another straight truck Rob will have to pay the sales tax to register his truck in NY. They weren't too bad in my case- they allowed my trade equity to be subtracted from the price of...

I don't know what it will cost for sure, but most in past have said between $4-6k to stretch, plus cost of box and other parts. To really do a class 8 straight truck right, it should come from the factory with a full double railed frame to handle the long wheelbase without any bowing. But...

The "eh" Canadians, and many Eurpoeans use, is like a "roger" on the CB. Used to let you know their talk is over, get it, eh? Many pro athletes say "you know" to signify the same thing. I, like dieseldiva, always thought the term "Canuck" offended Canadians, so I have never used it openly...

If she did not receive a citation, the incident will not go on her CDL or record in any way. Sometimes they just do stupid things like that purely for the sake of showing their authority and annoying you. They also need some sort of daily paperwork to show they are "doing their jobs" and if...

RE: How about a 50,000 lb. payload straight truckk I think it would be great for heavy equipmet moving. There is a place I know in Rochester, called Boulter, that use heavy duty straight trucks for rigging. They move large printing presses and such, also with tractor/trailers. -Weave-

I liked Flynscot's report. If you look at it closely, the only thing that was not routine maintenance was the heater blower. EGR's are emissions equipment covered under warranty. The complex auto tranny in the Sprinter has been my primary concern with the van. I find it very hard to believe a...

I have to use a cell phone bill addressed to my name at my "place of residence" where I have resided most of my life as it is my father's house and he pays the utilities. I am the littlest of little owner operators of what is needed to be an IRP registered "big" truck. These laws now do not...

The rules on "established place of business" go like this now. You must present a copy of a utility bill with your name on it to prove the establishment. So a mailbox will not work. You now HAVE to IRP register where you have an established place of business or at your home address. This is...

RE: How about a 50,000 lb. payload straight truckk It might see very limited use for what it is, but for the most part would be serious overkill for expediting. For the total cost to run a heavy duty unit like that and what you might see back in comparison to a standard expedite truck I don't...

Looks like you are heading in the right direction. But, before you commit yourself to buying a van and paying outrageous interest, get the vehicles sold to have cash on hand. Might want to put them on E-bay for quick sale or have them sold at your local auto auction. Just set the reserve at...

From the info I gathered off the NYS DMV website, I shouldn't have to pay the sales tax, at least I hope I don't. As long as the OK title is in my name and same name will be on NY title, it there is no tranfer of ownership so thus no sale for sales tax to be imposed- I asked the agent to be...

IRP registration is kind of a pain anywhere, and each state requires different forms, proofs, etc. This agency I talked to should be able to take care of the situation for me, and I won't have to worry about it again. The first time around is always the hardest. Once I see how it gets done...

"Hummm.." In the words of Dean Wormer on Animal House "Out with it!" Flounder pukes:7 -Weave-

That's OK Whiterabbit- There are those who seek pleasure in others mistakes. In my nearly 900 EO postings I have posted many mistakes- I do it on purpose... I try to please everyone;-) Yes, Hazmat would require one being able to read a bit. I am thankful that government funded trucking...

I have never heard of an oral CDL hazmat endorcement test, but it could be?? Your state DMV will have a CDL book with the hazmat materials to study for the endorcement. Hazmat endorcement, in ALL states and provinces, only lasts 2 years. It is a federal requirement to renew your hazmat...

Yes, talk to a fleet owner first if you know one. They will know Con-Way's driver qualifications and would be able to set you up to run there. If you don't know a fleet owner, call Con-Way and ask if there are any who are hiring who live near you. -Weave-

I apologize to Brewster for sounding like a stink-bomb, but I don't want to be a pollyanna and color one's world sunshine yellow either. Even when things aren't what you want to hear, you have to find a way to move on regardless. Brewster stated "I haven't filed bankruptcy yet,..." He surely...

I have an OK base plate, and it looks like Fern Bennett has gone out of business as OK is no longer allowing trucks to be base plated there unless one has an established place of business there. I found a website, for Oklahoma Fleet Services that looks as though they are still in business and...
