Go somewhere where they have an engineer who can get the truck balanced right. That way you aren't just guessing on what to move. If you're going to pay for an axle move, try and make the most of it.

Hey Layout, Can you put a full sized tire on the lift-axle, or are you stuck with a donut?

Unfortunately, getting one's authority and part time driving don't go hand in hand, unless you independently wealthy. By the time you researched the costs of insurance alone, you'd need to change your underwear. Your best bet is get some kind of dedicated route contract with a carrier in the...

Wow. That is long. Let's see a picture.

Sometimes this occurs on the initial shift out of neutral, not necessarily the changing of forward to reverse. In any event, the adjusting of the clutch pedal to acitvate a bit sooner would probably do it.

Hehehe.....I've seen that a couple times lately as well. They keep the truck leased on with WG to try and bring more money.

I had thought about having the clutch adjusted to engage a bit higher. I had wondered if it was mechanical, or just some little sensor thing. No, I haven't had the truck greased.

Of course. It just doesn't seem normal that suddenly my foot must be bruised black and blue in order to put her into gear, when starting or shifting out of drive doesn't.

Someone else mentioned that to me, but I don't know where that adjustment would be. Clutch works fine for taking it out of drive or reverse.

Do any of you autoshifters have issues with the computer not putting the truck in gear unless the clutch is completely slammed tight into the floor board? Just bought an FLD with a 10 speed auto and occasionally it won't go into drive or reverse from neutral. If I put it back in neutral and...

As far as driving with this medication, I would talk to your physician. Better yet, talk to the DOT physician who did your physical last.

I really appreciate this forum. It helps me make a list of places NOT to take my truck in a time of need.

FOD = Full Of Doodoo..........

Buck eighty five wasn't bad for a brokered load when fuel was 3 dollars. You do the math beyond that. Load boards? Getloaded and Internet Truckstop are probably the most affordable for the average small carrier looking for LTL loads. You just have to hunt down everything and make calls...

100k for cargo is quite ample, unless you occasionally need spot coverage increase. Just find a good agent who writes truck insurance and let them shop the companies. I've used Associated Truck Insurance Services (ATIS). Their parent company is Rush Enterprises. 877-244-8326 Ask for a guy...

So is the freight put in the bed, or it it got a fifth wheel so it can pull a gooseneck? I've seen lots of the latter lately.

Dontcha love it?

Wally, Can you give the link to the actual page to order them. I'm not finding the part you're referring to. Thanks!

Colonel, Hope you'll keep in touch here. Some of us "young ens" could still benefit from your wisdom.

Have you checked with anyone besides Panther? Smaller carriers typically have less rules about solos than the big carriers. Check with Bolt and C&M. I've heard good things about both with solos. Since you're in the south, also check with DTH Expediters in Atlanta. They may have an owner.
